people who need the sleep after day

Syrup"

The majority Of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merablc small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as Caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phiegm that is

little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get INTO the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, eXpells them, heals the places

The method of getting arounl In the city
of Venice is through the use of small boats
called gondolas, and al p}intad black, the

the winding canals of that beautiful city of

commerce and carrying the people to the mar

Transportation with those afforded in the

short distance away from camp, sat
down under d rock, crossed one knee
over the other, clasped his arms about
