Germs Everywhere,

At no instant In any mans life, wax.
Ing or sleeping. is he free from assaults
by swarming myriads Of tiny, but pow.
erful. unseen enemies of life-those sol.
oilers of deaths dark legions. the germs
or microbes Of disease. If it were pos
sible to wear spectacles Of the magni.
flying power Of high-priced microscopes,
we might see the very air we breathe
thick with the monstrous shapes of un.
told billions Of bacilli; and that in, or
about, or upon the water we drink,
the food we eat, the hands we shake,
the car straps we hang to when going
to work, the clothes we wear, the hair
we comb, the lips we kiss. the cats and
dogs we fondle, the books we read
in short, always and everywhere, the
armies of death surround US, and in.
cessantly make war upon us. And not
only do they attack us from every pos
sible exterior vantage point, but they
carry by assault the citadel of life
from within the lines Of our own de-
lenses. Germs thrive and multiply In
the mouth. in the nose, and especially
in the intestinal organs. Thus 1t can be
said that not only do we live In the
midst Of death, but that death lives In
our midst. The wonder Is, not that
We are ever Ill. but that we are ever
