"When my little boy was three months
old his eyes became very sore and he was
almost blind. took him to an oculist
who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he was at the beginning.
Finally Hoods Sarsaparilla was recon-
mended and I began giving It to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to 60 into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his eyes are perfectly
well, and his ears and nose, which were

A German scientist has recently OBJ
tanned what seem to be conclusive
proofs OF the presence OF pathOgenic
germs in the whlskers that appertain
to physicians. He declares that the
boards Of DOCTORS who are constantly
being brought into contact with all
kinds OF diseases, literally swarm with
these germs, and shows that contagion
is often spread by the very man whose
Breslau. where the tests and examlna-
lions of the whiskers have been made,
the people have developed a strong OPP
position to boards, and those practi-
toners who object to being shorn OF
their hirsute adornments may be seen
going through the streets with their
whiskers safely slowed away in rub
Der pouches made especially for the
purpose. In some other places the
war on germs has been carried to a
point where women who act as nurses
In hospitals or private families are
compelled to have their hair cut short
and to wear rubber, caps over their
heads while performing their duties
at the sick beds. Doctors who refuse
to give up their whiskers and nurses
who cling to their luxurlant locks are
avoided rs the plague, and Altogether,
the outlook for BARRIERS Is very encour-
aging Here in America this same
germ theory has been discussed at var
ious times during the last five or ten
years, with. more or less earnestness.
There seems TO be little doubt that
germs may be carried about either in
a mans whskers or In woman's hair,
but no combination has as yet been
formed against either of these styles Of
adornment. If the opposition to whis-
kers which now prevails In Germany
and Austria should spread to this coun-
try Il would bring about some import
ant changes In medical practice. At
present the first thing n young man
who desires TO be a doctor proceeds to
do after graduating from the medical
college Is raise a beard. Many Of the
students. indeed, throw their razors
away even before they get their diplo-
mas, for the rule seems TO be that the
more imposing the young doctors
beard is the more readily may he en-
ter upon regular practice In the
past whiskers have inspired conf.
dence. The smOOth-faced graduate
may have known much more about
medicine than his classmate who could
raise n vigorous beard did but the
latter always got the patients. This
fact Is undoubtedly responsible for the
wide prevalence Of whiskets among
members Of the medical profession. 1t
Is high time that the smooth-faced doe
tors had a fair show and the germ
seems TO be coming forward for the
purpose OF seeing that they get 1t. The
day may he near at hand when only
doctors with bare faces and bald heads
may find It profitable to have office
hours.
