We have harried the germs, in spite OF
their squirms, and have slain the
same in their lair;
We are after the fly with the baleful eve,
and the 'skeeter must say its
prayer;
We have purified wells and killed of
smells that have risen unto the
skies,
But in spite of our toll, and the water
We boil the public ups and dies.
We have swept the streets, screened
fruits aud meats, we have had
milk pasteurized;
No bacillus thrives upon human lives
which we've properly sterilized;
The insidious bug in the BARRIERS mug
we have given a rude surprise,
But what's the use some screw is
loose-the public ups and dies.
In the days gone by no "swat the fly
was the usual summer sign;
But Il somehow fell men lived as we'll
their lives were as yours and
mine;
so something's wrong with the germ
tends song what il IS we can't
surmise;
But the truth remains that, In spite OF
or pains, the public ups and dies.

the fact that many Of the ship lines

of their acts as web as any act Of APP
