My thoughts wandered to Estenega.
Who shall analyze the complex heart Of
man-the deep. intense. lasting devo-
tion he may have for the one woman he
recognizes rs his souls own, and yet the
strange, wayward wanderings Of his
fancy, the nomadic assertion of the ami
NAL. the passionate love he may feel fo-
this woman of all women. yet the re-
serve in which he always holds her,
never knowing her quite as well as he
has known other women, the last test of
highest love. passion without sensuaiity
And yet the regret that she does moi
crafty every side OF his nature, even
while he would not have her; regret for
the terrible incongruity of human na
ture. the mingling of the beast and the
divine, which cannot find satisfaction in
the same woman. whatever the fire in
her, she cannot crafty the instincts
which rage below passion in man with
out losing the purity of mind which he
adores in her She. too. feels vague
regret that some portion of his nature is

ken. But her regret is nothing to his

the awe of the unknown that paralyzed

finger to the sleeping woman's mouth,

moved backward and stood by the head

Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease parts of the lungs
viii CHI have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
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
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in a short time consump-
lives become germ-proof and well. .
