the public was Immediately offered
"germicides' and germ destroying
medicines as a protection. But it has
been shown that it is impossible to
evade the germ. 1t is everywhere; in
the air, the water, the soil. 1t is in
the food we eat, the books we read, the
money with which we buy and sell.
Bacteria exist everywhere" says a
scientific writer. Except where the
temperature is above that of boiling
water. But they are most abundant in
rich fertile soil, in stagnant or pol
luted water, and in the air of large
cities. The more dangerous, disease
producing species, such as those which
cause cholera, typhoid fever, malaria,
meningitis, ETC., are chiefly spread by
polluted water. Those species which
cause scarlet fever, diphtheria, tuber-
culos1s, e~rysipelas, ETC., are borne on
the air and in infected food material"
....."Bacteriolgy shows that the
average grade of milk distributed to
consumers in large cities often on
tains as high as eighty million germs
to the cubic inch"
What escape is there from the germ?
There's no mountain top inaccessible
TO it. A man locked up in steel"
would be unarmed against the germ.
No walls are high enough or thick
enough to shut it out. We eat and
drink and breathe knowing to a GER
tainty that we are taking into the sys-
tenn germs OF foul and fatal diseases.
But Nature has s~afeguarded us from
the germ by giving it no power yer
those who do not invite it's presence
by physical weakness. We can't keep
the germ out. We can keep it from
making a breeding place of our bodies.
How?
By keeping up the physical strength;
by keeping the blood pure and plenti-
full. In a protracted epidemic of dis
ease, nurses and doctors rarely fall
victims until the epidemic is near it's
close. Then, often, they are stricken.
They have weakened themselves with
work. They have had insufficient
sleep. They have eaten irregularly.
Anxiety and excitement have injur-
iously affected the digestive and nutri-
tive process and collapse come.
It's the same in every ordinary case
Of disease as in the epidemic. The
germ of tuberculosis may be received
a thousand times and cast out by the
vigorous body. Some day when the
failure of the digestive and nutritive
process has lowered the vitality of the
body and impoverished the blood sup
ply, the germ finds a weak spot and,
so to speak, Guilds its nest there"
Some Plain Facts.
There are thousands and tens of
thousands Of men and women who
have been brought up from the lowest
physical condition to the highest by
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
From weak, miserable sufferers, ema-
ciated, coughing, with bleeding of the
lungs even, they have been brought up
to vigorous, healthy life, and they tes-
tify that they never knew what life
was until now.
What is Golden Medical Discov-
ery?"
1t Is a medicine which cures dis
eases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition.
But what has a medicine for the
stomach to do with diseased lungs, or
heart, or liver?
Answer that question by another.
What has the stomach itself to do with
the lungs, the heart, the liver and all
the other organs?
Why it has to feed them. of course.
And if they are not fed properly they
weaken, and it's the weakened condi-
ton of an organ which makes it posi-
BILE for the germ to find a Judgment in
1t.
The stomach has everything to do
with diseases Of lungs. heart, liver or
any other organ, and DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery has everything to
do with cures of diseased lungs, dis
eased liver, diseased heart, disclosed
kidneys, etc., because it cures through
the stomach diseases which have their
