Anthrax Father of All Germs

From the Boston Globe.
 The anthrax serum is the father of all germs since it was the first dis covered by the weak microscopes of half century ago. That was because the germ was so big. The microscopes could not show the smaller germs. It was the anthrax germ, therefore, that led to the development of the microbe theory which has caused such an ad- vance in medicine.

downfall Of the Cabinet. Despite Lloyd
