The BaciIli of Typhoid Fever, Cholera,
Etc, Succumb to Its Power.
Coffee has disintectant properties. Only
recently certain Dr. Luderits has studied
in detail the germ-killing action of coffee in
fusion. Using by no means strong infu-
sions. he showed that certain harmless
mlcrOcOccus germ dies In 10 per cent c0f-
fee solution in from three TO five days. The
bacillus of typhoid fever persisted in from
one to three days under the coffee influence,
and the cholera bacillus in from three to
four hours. The germ Of anthrax or splenc
fever died in from two to three hours: but
the spores of the young forms of the latter
germ persisted iE from two to four weeks
only.
These latter results speak well for the
power of coffee as germicide, for anthrax
germs and spores are by no means easy to
scotch or kill. Possibly after these revea-
tions coffee, administered internally, may
be utilized as remedy for germ-produced
diseases. AS it is, its virtues as reviver
and ''pick-me-up" have long been appre-
ciated outside the medical world.-Chicago
