both an extended view and q rpcned
knowledge of his profession.
Take, for example. the So-calleu
typhoid fever" form Of disease
which has been theorized by modern
medical attendants to be contagious,
and caused by tine presence OF u tiny
diabolical flend. created by Almighty
God Cor by tho Creator allowed to
cXisp. is nothing less, Cor the purros
OF toTmcnting and killing His chill
drcn.
Actuatcd by this hideOus teaching,
which has it's only origin in that same
wretchcd postulatc which led 10 the
invasion of the South. and which claims
that mankind is both more wise ana
moro loving than the All Father, the
modern medical attendant seeks to free
our liquid food and drink from these
germs" With what result?
To typhoid fever to-day arc charged
a crater ratio of the total OF deaths
IN the city OF Philadelphia than ever
before in its history; and yet for tho
past ten years. these poor "germs'
havo been warred upon even as the
South was. by the Northern mailman,
who sees in Cod devil. and in him
self . vast goodness. which he alone
demonstrates by his murders. Of

self forms every existent being.
What, then, should we believe as the
purpose of Almighty God in tho crea-
ton of this germ?
Assuredly. we should accept this,
His creation, as for our benefit.
And this postulate is borne out by
the fact that as these germs" are
destroyed. the deaths increase. In
fact, the presence of this germ in water
dillon: the presence Of this germ in
the human blood means an attempt
on the part of Almighty God to do
something in our behalf. and re say
to Almighty God: Go away or I'll Kill
YOU" ana pay the medical So to act
rs tho eXecutioner of the Creator The
so-called white plague" is but an
other example of the amazing willing
ness of human beings to accept the
doctrines Of tho North--and charge AL
mighty God with a degree of criminal
ity ut which tho devil would blush
with shame. While ut the same mo-
ment we childishly exalt the medical
attendent to the position of an "all
WISE" but one who demands Il fee and
in advance, for saving our lives!
Do you SEQ any similarity In this to
the acts Of the Northerncr who cruel
fed the right and murdered our men
and tortured our wonderland. having
taken all he could lay his hands on,
exalted the black TO tho position of
an Image OF God-the white?
The So called germ" OF tuberculosis
is Body OF Almighty God formed
and sent to dwell in n human body:
for what purpose?
May the All Father forgive that
blindness and folly which stumbles at
the thought that His acts are for our
comfort and aid-and eagerly pays
two good dollars for the wofully bad
advice that this is a devil sent to de-
stroy us.
Analyzcd carefully. week by week,
for n period extending from 1852 to
1907, the records of deaths i'll the city
OF Philadelphia show the following
curiositIes:
Deaths of consumptives Qs59-lS75),
% per sent OF all deaths; deaths OF
heart patients GS52-1S75). 4 per cent
of all deaths; deaths of lung patients
lS52-lS'5), pti cent of all deaths;
deaths of consumptives Q907-l9lOl,
10 per cent OF all deaths; deaths of
heart patients (l907-l910), per sent
of all deaths. deaths OF lung patients
1870, Il per cent of all deat tbs.
This forms the basis Of Il claim that
"consumptive" deaths have decreased.
has been recorded In other than no
menolature. the actual change being
for the worse And these two in
stances arc but II drop in the bucket:
for the Creator errs not: and that
which lie creates. he 1t the lesser
germ" or the greater NY" is an in
strumcnt designed for our good. our
air. our comfort. and their destruc-
ton. but for His omnipotent love could
not but result in destruction of our
selves.
But this is not a medical article: 1t
mas as its purpose three things: first
To call to the attention of the North
erner that Almighty God is good. and
mat his creations arc perfect, each in
it's place. and that His law seeks to
give TO each and every created being
its rights and privileges: second. to cal;
to tho attention OF tho Southerner that
the North Is responsible not only for
Tho cruciiiXion OF right and OF God
in Its invasion OF tho South, but by q
continuance OF the disobedience to His
laws. which was and is the error of
majority fiat the North has led to in
famously cruel attacks on the love or
God, and to their pcrmcating Of social,
professional and business life: third,
10 call tho attention OF the Southcrner
TO the fact that until the South returns
to its true worship of Almighty God by
discrcditing every assumption of tho
North, and by again placing i'm enact
mcnt as the rule of life tho BIZ of
Rights, this nation is lost in 4 chaos
of crimes against creatures, mankind
and Almighty, God.
