To the Sick.
IndisputabIe Facts.

Disease, fermentation and decay are caused
by microbes and germ life; when these or
ganic pests are destroyed there can be no
sickness.
Antiseptics are so called because they destroy
microbes surgeons always use antiseptics in
performing dangerous operations
Carbolic acid is q common autiseptic, but is
poisonous if taken into the system strong
enough to destroy the germs of disease.
Radam's Microbe Killer, composed of GASES,
is an antiseptic, perfectly harmless to the
human body, but doubly powerful in destroy
ing disease if faithfully applied. Physicians
frequently use Microbe Killer in treating Can
GERS, and recommend it for Catarrh Tubercu-
losls etc. others know it to be invaluable in
Bright's Disease and Bladder Troubles.
Fermentation of food in the stomach causes
Dyspepsia, Sourness. etc; Radam's Microbe
Killer destroys the CAUSE and sweetens the
stomach.
IMPOVERISHED blood is the home of germ
life; when pure it is the fountain of life, the
source of all health and vigor.
Hadam's Microbe Killer is the only rational
remedy for all diseases; its antiseptic power
eradicates every disease from the human body.
These facts are incontrovertible, and we in
vite the fullest investigation by all interested
people, professional or otherwise.
We wOuld like to mail you, absolutely Tree,
