MICROBES NOT ADMITTED.
A Doctor Has Built House from Which
Bacteria Are Excluded.

A Doctor Has Built House from Which
Bacteria Are Excluded.
DR.. w. Van der Hayden, a Dutch
bacteriologist who lives in Japan, has
built himself a house in Yokohama
from which microbes are absolutely ex-
cluded. This is very pleasant place
for a man who is terribly familiar with
the prevalence and powers of the mi
crobe.
The doctors house is dust-proof,
air-proof, microbe-proof building OF
glass. 1t stands on the open, unshaded
grounds of the general hospital of Yo-
kohaIna. The house is A feet high, 2S
feet wide and II feet high. Large panes
of glass, half an inch thick and about
four inches apart, are set in iron frames
so as to form the sides of cellular
building block. OF these blocks the
walls are constructed. There are no
window sashes, the air escape being
through several openings around the
upper part of the second story, but
through which no air from the outside
is admitted.
The air supply is obtained from a
considerable distance, forced through a
pipe and carefully filtered through cot
ton wool to cleanse it of bacteria. To
insure further sterilization the air is
driven against glycerin-coated plate
of glass, which captures all the mi
crobes the wool spares. The few mi
crobes brought into the house in the
clothes of visitors soon die in the warm
sunlight with which the house is
flooded.
The space between the glasses of the
building blocks is filled with solution
Of salts, which absorbs the heat of the
sun, SO that the rooms of this house are
much cooler than those protected by
the thickest shades. In the evening
the evening the interior is heated by
the salts radiating the heat which they
have absorbed during the day. So eff
fective is the system of regulating the
temperature that few hours of sun
light, even in freezing weather, will
render the house habitable- 1t is only
when several cloudy days follow in sue
cession that artificial heat is needed.
Then it is supplied by pumping in hot
air DR.. Van der Hayden thinks he has
solved the problem of complete GERM.

But when physical weakness or disease is
added to a woman's burden it becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down
by continual pain and physical wretch
edness.
The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
TO overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But if allowed to
go unchecked, they are liable to develop
into serious, chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is
a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs. 1t was de-
vised for this one purpose, and accomp-
fishes this purpose as no other medicine
has ever done.
For nearly 90 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
n. Y, where in conjunction with his staff
of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of female
complaint"
No physician living has had a more ex-
tended opportunity to study this class of
diseases in actual practice. No medicine
ever invented has done for women what his
