THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist of our day,
NJ. Mctschnikoff, has shown the world
of science that there are leucocytes in Our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen.
These policemen which are called phago-
eptes look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood-cell- policemen, the bhagocyfes,
long as our blood contains plenty of phago-
cytes and red blood corpuscles.

number and strength-so that we are put
in the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia, colds, catarrh, and in
cipient consumption.
HThe more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood is
the center of life says DR.. K. V. Pierce,
the noted specialist of Buffalo, "the health

other things are due to stagnation of the
