The MaHgne Microbe

II all came about through the pub
iication in The Physical Culture
Magazine" of an article by DR.. John
b. Fraser, of Toronto, Ont. In it
he derided the germ theory and
boldly called on the medical men of
America to prove their assertions.
HIS sarcasm stirred the fighting
spirit of Dr.. II. w. Hill, of Minneap-
Oils, executive secretary Of the
Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton, who wired his acceptance of
the challenge. Dr.. Fraser was slap
ping mosquitoes somewhere in the
North Woods on a holiday trip, and
there was no reply.
Then DR.. II. A. Zettel, Of st. Paul,
accepted DR.. Hills acceptance
OF the challenge, for he was of the
same belief as the Toronto physi-
clan- he would act as substitute
and save Dr.. Fraser the long trip to
St. Paul. He would bare himself to
all manner Of disease and prove that
the microbe is much maligned.

day, as years ago, is 5000. Now

swered that, with things as they are,
there nevertheless exists an all too

wait. If DR.. Fraser withdraws, then
DR.. Zettel's offer will be considered,
for DR.. Hill is determined once and
for all to end discussion about
germs.
DR.. Fraser, before he left for the
north, told friends that ne had swal-
lowed, breathed, swabbed and other
wise indulged in millions of strong,
virile, properly incubated germs,
without the least i'll effect. Not only
that, but he had put his two daugh-
ters, Miss Maud and Miss Bata,
through the same course of expert
ments and they had asked for more.
From 100000 to 100000 microbes
at meal was their diet during these
tests.
DR.. Hill does not dispute DR.. Fra
ser's statement He merely main
tains that he is eager to enter hos
pital ward with the Toronto practi-
toner and show him what he does
not know about germs.
1t will be a month at least before
the duel is staged, for preliminaries
Will take that long, DR.. Hill declares.
He has suggested to DR.. Fraser that
the latter see his insurance company
and arrange regarding the payment
Of the policy in case of his sudden
demise. The company might be in
clined to consider the duel as suicide
and refuse to pay. DR.. Hill--though
he thinks it is quite unnecessary on
his part-will do the same He also
mentioned something about wills.
Then there must be a series Of
tests for each physician to determine
what diseases they cannot contract,
either through being naturally i'm
mune' or through having once had
the sickness When these tests are
completed, the germs for the duel
will be decided upon.
Seconds and judges must also be
chosen. Each principal, DR.. Hill
suggests, should choose two physi-
clans to act for him, and these viii
choose a fifth, who will referee the
contest.
