THAT If body be charged with electricity

Koch have established the fact that ,ioe
tween 1000 and Z 900 microbes per square
foot fall through space and fasten them
selves on every human body in each TWEEN
ty-four hours. People who battle them
selves thoroughly in soap and water every
day have an idea that they are utterly
free f~oIn microbes, and that their skin
cannog lie made any cleaner.
II these people had only the opportunity

over every inch OF their WIN bodies. These
germs, besides making such 4 hi,lcous sight

millions OF germs and their voracity in de-

some disinfectant like alcohol, and as

with this battery have charged human
bodies SO successfully that the microbes
have been thrown off in perfect shower
to the ground. some of them being thrown
as far as four andrive feet. This charging
of the hands and feet relieves the skin and
hair entirely of the microbes, and the skin
can 90 on living In its natural life of soft.

always removed before twenty-four hours

The whole affair is finished off by a slight
