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 a common antiseptic, 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,l 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-
losis, etc; others know it to be invaluable in
Brigbt'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 1t is the fountain of life, the
source of all health and vigor.
Radam's Microbe Killer is the only rational
remedy for all diseases; its antlseptic power
eradcates every disease from the human body.
These facts are incontrovertible. and we in
vite the fullest investigation by all interested
people professional or otherwise.

BLEAcHED HAIR BABIES.
A Practice which IL Growing, to
the Detriment of Health
and Morals.

>"If / were gong TO inaugurate a re-
form movement in New York said the
prominent physician, Il would begin
with a certain number of mothers who
are almost directly, if unconsciously,
instilling into their children the germs
Of several physical and moral~ailments.
/ refer TO those mothers who are
bleaching the hair Of little childl i
hardly more than infants in arms.
Wherever one may turn in New York
the disagreeable contemplation arti-
fleially colored hair ON the heads of
innocent tots is forced on him. and the
increase OF. the bleaching is really
alarming, for it is nothing less than
the harbinger Of bodily and moral in
firmites.
IN the first place the bleaching Of
chiidren's hair is almost certain to re-
suit in diseases of various sorts. In the
second place il is meant as a deception,
which, sanctioned by maternal author
ity. the only law of right or wrong
known to the child. must convince the
tot that it is right to deceive, and so
prepares the way for n long list of moral
offenSes which spring from duplicity.
If.ihe sense of right and honesty is not
sufficiently strong in a woman to pre-
vent her inculcating such pernicious
principles in. the heart of her children,
then there should be some legislative
enactment to protect them.
