How They Affect the Body

CONSIDERINGth the second inquiry aS to how
~ infection affects the body, We must con-
stantly bear in mind that a baCterium, though
a scavenger, Is conServator of nature. Its
real function in the orderly processes of animal
and vegetable life is to utilize waste for the
preservation and promotion of animal and
vegetable life on this planet where the con-
ditionS are SO unfavordble to both.
Therefore, wherever we find bacteria III the
active process Of growth. that is, multiplica-
ton, may he assured that they have found
matter that should be rescued from waste and
converted into useful food for plants 1t fol-
lows that when find a bacterium actively
growing in any part of our bodies, it has found
some form of decdving matter that is not only
New-York tribune., 1909-01-03
Keep Ii Out of the Circulation

THE poisoning Of the body by the excreted
toxin of the multiplying cells, which Is
simply plant food occurs because 1t l. removed
only in part by the digestive organs. the cir
Culation that conveys 1t to the other chIn1-
mating organs being efficient for that purpose
Could all of this toxin be removed aS fast aS 1t
Is eXcrcted. and not enter the circulation
there would be no fever.
The termination of this process must be
either the. death of the colony from exhaustion
of the food supply in the glands, or the eX-
hduStion OF the patient by the excess OF toxins
that accumulate III the body. As the activity
Of the bacillus depends upon the food supplied,
the severity and length of the fever varies
III different individuals Some are immune
because the glands that furnish the food of the
typhoid bacillus are in a state of high health >
Others have a brief and mild attack. because
the food supply Is SCdnt owing to a slight inn
pairment Of the integrity of the glands; but
with a considerable number in every epidemic
the food is ample TO sustain the creation of an
immense colony of bacilli which destroys the
victim by an overdose of poison.
The. final disposition of the typhoid bacill
after q course of fever, was believed 10 be by
their elimination from the body through the
various organs devoted to the discharge OF
waste products. but recent investigations have
proved that the typhoid bacillus may remain
in the body for long periods without apparently
affecting the health of the person. but when
communicated to another 1t viii cause at
tack of fever of the most virulent type. In one
instance an outbreak Ot typhoid lever was
traced to a woman who had the fever upward
of fifty years ago. 1t was found that the eXcre-
tions of her body contained immense quantI-
ties of living typhoid bacilli. She was cook
by trade. and 1t was found on tracing her his
tory that wherever she had worked there had
been epidemics of typhoid. beginning at the
house where she was acting rs 4 cook.
A still more remarkabl feature Of the life
history of the typhoid bacillus has recently
been made public. \ typhoid epidemic was
traced to a nurse who had attended cases of
typhoid fever. but had never suffered from an
attack of that disease. and Yet was diScharging
large quantities of the bacilh. These cases can
be explained only on the theory that these
micro6rganisms find some place, possibly, as
has been suggested. in the gall bladder, where
they find food sufficient to keep them in
active state of multiplication, but where the
conditions prevent the absorption of the toxins
they eXCrete
How far these curious incidents IN the life of
the typhoid baCIlh are common to other bacilh
is not known; but if it IS true of other infeC-
tiouS diseases. the fact will explain the origin
of those obscure and mysterious cases that Oc-
cur without any known exposure to the in
feCtion.

raj forces. Thus in the manufacture OF linen,
hemp and spongcs in the butter, cheese, and
vinegar industries, in tobacco curing, etc,
bacteria play an important role.
Bacteria for Every Condition
IT naturally occurs that to meet the various
conditions under which dccompoS1ng mat
ter exists in nature there Is great variety OF
species Of bacteria, each species being adapted
10 a special field of operations. These species
are distinguished from one another by the
shapes they assume during their growth some
being rod shaped (the bacilluS), others spherical
(the coccus) and Others spiral tthe SpIriliuIn)
Under one of these divisions the various species
are classified.
In these latter days Of popular knowledge OF
scientific progress, but without precise intOrma-
ton Of details, bacteria are associated IN the
public mind with disease, especially oi the
epidemic form. While this prejudice l. useful
in stimulating the people to adopt and enforce
preventive measures against conditions thdt
tend to promote bacterial life IN their homes
and in their own persons. yet 1t should be un-
dcrstood that comparatively few OF the great
number and variety of bacteria are pdthOgenIC,
or disease producing, in man.
So throughout the animal kingdom we tlnd
that few are susceptible to a common disease ,
or, in other words, that the same species oil
bacteria attack with equal force several yarIe-
ties Of animals
The explanation Of this peculiarty Is found
in the variations OF the quality or intimate
nature Of the TISSUES and organs of different
species Of animals The same may be said OF
our own bodics.-the several organs vary
greatly in their susceptibility to the attacks OF
the different kinds OF bacteria; hence the latter
are classified as specific and nonspecifc. ac-
cording as they cause specific or uonSpccihc
disease.
The distribution of bacteria Is limited only
by the existence of plants and animals; that
is, the existence of dccomposing vegetable and
animal matter Though they are more album
dant in the earth where such matter Is found
most abundantly. yet they abound in the air,
the water. on plants. animals, and insects on
our own bodies. and in every cavity leading to
the exterior. As bacteria are always searching
for food. the number present Is sure indication
of the degree OF cleanliness of the thing. IN
dividual or locality where they are found.
The movements of bacteria from one point
to another are through the medium of some
other mode Of conveyance than their own
bodies afford. Thus they are borne by the
water, by vegetation. by animals of every
kind especially insects. 10y the air on PARTICLES
Of dust The typhoid bacillus borne in water
and milk has caused innumcrable cpdemics OF
that dreaded disease.
