THE. MICROBES
Reason Why the Doctors and Nurses
Of the Philadelphia Hospital We're
Taken Down With c Consumption.

They live ard dwell in our bodies. and
! they are our only protection against
the microbe or germ of consumption
called the bacillus tuberculosis, as they
are against all other disease germs
| They are in constant warfare with the
visiting disease microbes-and here we
| come again to the importance OF
| healthy tissue and a properly nour-
| ished system-sof vital force and fight
ing power.
Ihis lighting power is necessary to
give the little creatures guarding our
health the strength to overcome and
destroy the disease germs. This ex-
plains why the person of weak body
and low vitality Catches" disease.
while the person with healthy blood
and tissue lives with disease all around
and never catches it.
1t is the same in enidemics, whether
of grip or other diseases; if your body
has been nourished and new tissue
made as fast as it has been used Won
have only to keep clean, breathe fresh
air and get plenty of rest. Then YOU
are in no danger. Father Johns Med
icine nourishes the body, builds new
tissue and makes strength-thats how
disease germs are made harmless. 1t
cures consumption, as the remarkable
letters of Endorsement printed below
show
The principles of this medicine is
simple. 1t furnishes the food that
the BODY requires, and strengthens
eacn organ SO that it can do it's work
that is how the system is cleared of
the impurities and poisonous waste
matter: and it supplies bodily warmth
and vitality.
It's ingredients are the same kind of
food and nourishment that blood and
tissue are made of-puIe and whole.i

BY REV. FIR. JOSEPH PoNTu r.. r9
Writing from LaFargeville, N. ~.
on February I, 1902, Rev. Fir. Joseph
Pontur of ST. Johns Parish, said: |
"One of my parishioners, almost de-
spondent of ever getting cured, given
UP by the doctors as a constructive.
upon my firm advice is using your
medicine and since has been constantly
improving to the great joy of her par
ents and friends
Again, four months later Rev. FIR.
Pontur writes
The young woman referred to in
my letter of February Z, 1902, who was
given w by all the doctors as q con-
sumDtive continues to improve Won
derfully by using Father Johns Med
icine."
WHEN THERE WAS NO HOPE. /
Mr.. Alfred Michaud of 139 Lowell
street. Lawrence, Mass, writing I'M
der date of June 20, 1902, says: 'Af- |
ter being sick for eight months and |
given up by the doctors, who said there
was no hope for me because | was too /
far gone in consumption, / began tax |
ing Father Johns Medicine six months
ago. In a month | felt like a, new
man and had gained six pounds. l |
continued to improve and am now
working every day. I cannot say |
enough for your medicine. | feel it is
a God-send to me and my family. |

street, Lawrence, Mass" j I'D
Remember this old remedy is not a
patent medicine-a learned doctor pre-
scribed it for the late Rev. FIR Johnd
O'Brien of Lowell. Mass, fifty years
ago, by whom it was recommended, /
and from whom it derived it's name 1t |
is free from weakening stimulants,
opium, morphine or other poisonous
drugs found in the great majority Of |
patent medicines. Nothing equals it |
for colds. throat and lung troubles-it
prevents pneumonia and consumption.
The money is refunded in any case
where it does not do all that is claimed
