WARNING AGAINST DUST

NEW warning against the
" danger OF dust has Just been
n issued by George NJ KOber. OF
the Georgetown Medical Col

fatal dust is to human beings. Dust
is the greatest germ carried in the
world.
While dogs carry the disease Of
rabies, the mosquito brings you ma
laria and yellow fever. water carries
typhoid. flies bring consumption. dust
is the universal chariot of the mi
