Fruit Acid. XIII Germs.

A writer in scientific periodical
states that 1t is not generally known
that fruit acids are germicidal. 1.-The
juice" he says, "of lines and lemons
is as deadly to cholera germs as cor
rosive sublimate or sulphur fumes or
formaldehyde or any other disinfectant.
1t is SO powerful a germicide that II
the juice of one lime or lemon be
squeezed into glass of water that is
then left standing for ten or fifteen
minutes the water will be disinfected.,
1t makes little difference where the
water has been obtained or whether it
has been boiled or filtered" AS boiled
or filtered water is not always obtain
able this is worth remembering.

what You Put In Your Month

1t is through the mouth that most
malignant germs find their way into
the body, and therefore one would
think that 1t was hardly necessary to
warn people against the risks they are
running in using 1t as sort of third
hand. One would imagine that hardly
any one needed cautioning against
holding money with the lips, and yet
an Immense number of otherwise thor
oughly clearly people indulge in this
dirty, dangerous practice.
