Resisted Germs
When John f. Pecks wonderful
constitution resisted disease germs and
poisons. DR.. Waite told how he sought
to make him sick by driving him
swiftly in an automobile, having first
taken care to leave the windows open,
by dampening the sheets of his bed,
by turning off the heat in his room
and opening window In midwinter.
When he was asked what kind of
germs he had administered to Mr.. and
Mrs. Peck, Waite said:
"All death producing ones.
Asked to name these, he mentioned
typhoid, influenza, diphtheria. anthrax,
pneumonia, streptococcus and some
others
Waite's tone at times seemed TO
imply resentment that his father-in-
laws constitution had protected MIN
against a death by disease. He sold
how he had resorted to a scheme based
on something he had read about the
war. Sufferers from chlorine gas, he
had read, were so weakened that they
became easy victims of disease germs.
On several occasions Waite tried out
this theory by opening bottles OF
chlorine gas in his father-in- LAW :
room, and the following day gave him
heavy doses of disease germs.
'It seemed to have no effect on
him. he added.
