disease germs that are floating in the air
we breathe and i'll the water we drink
germs of typhoid fever malaria, con-
sumption. Compared to a disease germ,
a rattlesnake is a gentleman. He is a
fair fighter. He tells you to look out
He rattles before he strikes. You have
chance to fight or run. The disease
germ sneaks in. 1t comes while you are
sleeping. 1t gains an entrance to the
blood. 1t propagates there. 1t multi
plies. In few hours or days, your
blood is full of its children-millions of
them. They go all over your body seek
ing a weak spot, They don't rattle
they strike. You feel listless, nerveless,
sluggish, feverish, and maybe you're flat
on your back before you really know
there is anything the matter.
The only way to keep out disease
germs-to keep from being sick-is to
keep your blood pure and rich, and your
liver active and healthy.
