DR.. Lionel Beale says, and his opinion is
shared by other eminent physicians, Il be-
| lieve that If the organism be In g. proper
state, almost all disease germs coming in
contact with it, or entering 1t, will certainly
| die, instead of growing and multiplying.
Many of the poisons in question are round
about us-in the food we eat in the water
we drink. The foot Of a fly will carry
| enough poisonous matter to infect a house
| hold. 1t is therefore vain to be always
| seeking to annihilate contagion which you
can only destroy to most limited and
| probably useless extent; on the other hand,
| 1t seems exceedingly reasonable, and espe-
| cially on the part of nurses and ourselves,
| who must be continually exposed to the
| assaults of disease germs, to do all that is
| n
| sisting power of the body"

o brave old world take heart!
| Each day, each wrong is cursed;
| And Evil looks askance
| For who shall bravely speak
| The word defiant, just,
Man loves his fellow-man.
