Then MIR. Radnm went out OF the room. When
he returned a few minutes later the young
sumptive was gone and so was the Jug.
Within a week there was a decided improve
mcnt IN the condition OF the young man who had
stolen the medicine. His appetite was better,
and there was less fermentation In the lungs. In
a few months he was practically well and is alive
and In good health to-day. His appreciation OF
the medicine was so great that he came TO Mr..
Radam and told him OF woman relative ot his

evidence OF twenty. as many as 1t deemed neccs-

These witnesses testified that they had been
cured by the Of tho MicrUhe Killer. Some
had taken only few gallons, while others had
taken one hundred or gallons oi the gas.
Tho long case at last came to close. Judge
Andrews in his charge to the Jury. told them
that the plaintiff had been ltbelled and that the
whole article was libellous on Its face. and that
the plaintiff had clearly proven, beyond all posi-

Radam's Success in Texas.

Texas was tnen described as a good section for
an Invalid. Thither Mr. Radam went, and in
Austin. Tex. he purchased tract OF land and
began the culture OF flowers and trees. In a busl-
ness way he was successful The trees he planted
and cultivated were shipped to California and in
shade trees. Throughout the State of California
they can be found and In Arizona. Lower Cali

ritories they also stand as monuments OF his In
dustry. The tract OF land he originally bought
was added to by other purchases. irrigated and
became like a garden by this time Mr., Radam
and nurserymen OF the great West, and his name
was known throughout the East. where he was
recognized for his skin In buying seeds and plants
for his nursery. But a shadow rested upon Mr..
Radam. He could see his bank deposits increas-
ing daily. but he could also feel his health leav-
ing, his muscles weakening, To the original at
tack Of malaria had been added rheumatism then
catarrh. and finally the dreaded consumption. For
seventeen years he had employed physicians, Per-
hape they slightly retarded his diseases, perhaps
they accelerated them. Al any rate MIR, Radsn
found himself seven years ago on the Threshold
OF death. With feeble steps he could still wander
among the flowers he loved. but he knew that he
could only live a short time. Yet in this eondi-
zion he was on the verge OF great discovery.

what was true with plants might be true with
man-that diseases in man were caused
by microbes. as diseases were caused in plants
From that moment he was changed man. He
raid to himself that II he could nnd some antisep-

II there were microbes in his system which caused
his diseases. then there must be fermentation

Then. II he could but arrest this fermentation.
It would signify that he had killed the microbes

the ground around them. There Is a sickness OF
the rose called the backrcst. the symptoms of
which are black spots on the leaves and these
spots grow larger and larger until the whole leaf
turns black. This is the second stage. The third
stage soon follows, In which the leaves turn yell

would give him life. II was always before his
eyes, but like the will O. the wisp, It eluded his
grasp and mockcd him. Day after day tho desired
something ecemed within his reach lie closed his
fingers upon II, but It was not there. with his
bits Of fresh meat and his gases he worked DAY
after day, then went to bed only to dream he had
found what he was looking for
Ono day Mr.. Radam mixed q combination Of
gascs, some obtained by chemical extraction and
o,hcrs obtained by burning certain drugs, and
placed the result In a glass can with piece Of
fresh meat. The next morning the meat looked
frcshcr than did the results OF his other expert
ments. This encouraged him and he left 1t sew

MIR. Radam knew he was the right track, II
he could only make the gas stronger then he
would have accomplished the results desired, and
the fresh ment would keep forever Under press
