germs of typhoid fever, malaria, con-

a rattlesnake is a gentleman. He is a
fair fighter. He tells you to look out.
He rattles before he strikes. You have
a 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 a 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 fiat
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
