Cures All Disease by Killing the
Microbes Which Cause It..

For generations past people have been drilled
into the belief that every symptom of disease,
forms of fever, pain, colds, ETC., is produced by
different cause. Such is not the case. All
disease is decay, or, in other words, fermenta-
tion OF the blood and tissue. This fermentation,
which gives rise to the various symptoms OF
disease, viz, inflammation, fever, pain, nervous
ness, etc, ETC., has been proven by VIM Radam
and leading scientists Of the day to be caused by
the presence OF microbes in the body. The mi
crobes causing consumption, influenza, whoop:.
ing cough, erysipelas, skin diseases, typhoid
fever, cancer, pneumonia, etc, etc. have actually

We have friends in the garden in the
shape of toads and lizards. Toads are
the greatest insect destroyers of all.
They lead all the other friends in this
respect. The New York Post says that
Paris market gardeners appreciate this
fact better than American farmers, and
toads are regular articles of trade. a
gardener will purchase them and put
them in the hotbeds to keep down the
insects in the early spring and summer
In small gardens few common hop
toads will prove to be worth their
weight in gold. They devour anything
from the small green flies to the huge
fat cutworms and the repulsive, dis
gushing potato beetle The small lizards
are likewise good insect catchers, but
they are more timid than the toads and
less likely to remain in IL garden. The
snakes are good insect destroyers, but
their special fondness for toads makes
it impossible for the two to live i'll the
same garden, and of the two the toads
are to be preferred for this work.
