CRITIC OF THE GERM THEORY
Writer In Indiana Newspaper Has
Some Pertinent Remarks to
Make on the Subject.

No inconsiderable body of physi
clans and these not of any one school
many even Of the regular profession,
are beginning seriously to question
whether germs" are the greatest, or
as some hold, the only cause of dis
ease. The United States department
of agriculture has issued a bulletin
"to determine the best way of pas
teurizing milk so as to kill the dis
ease germs and yet not give the milk
cooked flavor or lessen it's nutritive
value" Where are Sukey and dear
old Bossy of yesterday? Gone, with
out ever having entertained the slight
est suspicion that their tactical prod
uct was not above reproach. Then
science comes into cast doubt upon
all their daughters. "a healthy child"
says the Homeopathic Envoy, grow
ing up where germs swarm becomes a
strong man, while another fed on pas
teurized milk and guarded by 'steriliz-
alton may grow up weakling. Why?
Give 1t up! Perhaps there are funda-
mental causes not recognized by the
theorists. If milk will cause disease,
will heating make it wholesome? If
milk is pure, will not heating cause 1t
to lose it's best nutritive qualities? If
the germs come from the COW, Why
use her milk? If they come from
without, why not keep them out In
stead Of killing them after they get
in the milk?"-Indianapol News.

around and dank smell of mold
