GERMS ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.

GERMS ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.
With so much talk on every side con-
cerning germs. many have jumped at
the conclusion that all germs are dis
ease engendering, whereas in point OF
fact the majority Of them are quite SAL
utary. and no few OF them, indeed. are
absolutely essential to healthful human
existence.
Some germs are the scsvengers which
convert dead and decomposing matter
into constituents essential for plant
growth. Were these workers 10 go on

tion would be universal and corre-
spondingly deadly and most animal life
would be unlivable and quite destroyed.

buffers their delicious and peculiar fla

sometimes keep a trife overtime on the

part in the manufacture Of linen. in the

the evolution OF useful acids.
