GERMS IN FLOWERS, TOO.
Physicians Have Discovered That
Some Plants Cause Disease.

London Aug. 23.-Flowers contain
the germs of many diseases This is
the assertion of DR.. Walsh, a widely
known London physician, who has
made study of them. He pointed
out that the germs of skin disease,
catarrh and nausea often are imbedded
in flowers such as lilies, roses, narcis.
sus and gardenias.
DR.. Walsh said that many Of the
persons who pick flowers in the Scilly
islands are afflicted with what is called
lilly rash" This rash, it is explained,
comes from germs that are the plants
protection against snails. The germs
are needle shaped crystals that are in
soluble in water or blood. If a snail
bites one of the plants the needles are
liberated, and the snail is severely
lacerated.
Another physician, in explaining
these germs, said:
"Gardenias, jonquils, narcissi and
white arum lilies are also the cause of
human beings feeling i'll. The scent
of these beautiful flowers is really the
result of their giving off volatile oils
and these, by overstimulating the OIL
factory nerves, produce headaches

somewhat lame but is improving. Had

have been dragged to death in the

come of pure carelessness on the part
of the auto driver in failing to sound
an alarm and in driving up too close
