THOMAS A. EDISON,
the inventor, in map
ping out the prob
lens of the future, gives

n
first place to the necessity
of fighting the bacteria which give us
our diseases. Next to the actual bacte-
ria of disease, the mosquitoes and tii"a
are the most dangerous enemies OF
man. The mosquito with it's bite in
jects into our veins malaria, yellow
fever, and other fatal troubles. The
fly, with spongy feet, collects the invis-
ible germs of diseases, spreads them
over our food and poisons us with ty-
phoid, cholera and other plaques of the
human race.
GOOD RED BLOOD OUR AMMUNITION.
The blood which flows through our
veins and arteries should contain
healthy red blood corpuscles which are
capable of warding off the attack of
the disease germs if they get into the
system.
DIR. Pierce, the eminent physician Of
Buffalo, N. Y, says, if each person
will consider his system as al army of
men which he controls as a general, and
will see to its proper provisioning and
that it has plenty of ammunition in the
shape of good red blood, he will be
able to overcome the enemy in the
shape of the germs of disease" Ev-
cry healthy person has five million red
blood cells or corpuscles to every square
millimeter of blood. The number of red
blood corpuscles in the average human
being is so great that it is almost in
comprehensive. However, their num-

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of SO Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:

luton, and even went so far as TO sing
with great enthusiasm the Russian Mar
