mountain was full of purple glens merry- voiced catcdes winding footpaths and j breezy heights mr browne enjoyed him- self intensely he believed that he had i come to the right plac dont you think said barbara to her mother that hes very strong for a con- consumptive its that herbtea aud the diet of honey and new milk that is building him up said mrs troop triumphant i never knew it fail yet in lung diseases bat hes very pleasant bar by isnt he very taid barbara earnestly babts eyes luok down deep in babri eyes tell me what tharoia you see only strange and wondering thought of the purest

your sense of the word perhaps but i shall be poor indeed sweet barbara if 1 have forfeited your favor he uttered fervently nor consumption no nor consumption he admitted youtiave been deceiving us

had dreamed of but had never known and all these gifts bestowed by the hand of the poor young clerk whom she had undertaken to board at two dollars a week because he wa alone and friendless aud for whom she had saved the choicest sliees of honey comb and brewed the most invigorating herb tea one often reads of these things in novels said she but how seldom they come true in real life kind simplehearted mrs troop if she had been a student of the great novel of human nature she would have known that we are all of us living romances at one time or another and why not is pot the world

that concerns the welfare happiness and life of everyone in his quiet and cosy library at the close of a busy day sat a gentleman and his wife he absorbed in a new book and she in the newspaper quickly glancing toward her hnsband she asked at a certain point in the article john what in the germ theory the germ theory well yes just look cjerm that- will explain it so much better than i can accordingly his wife opened the book at tbe word named aud read germ theory of disease a theory advanced by the ablest and beat investigators and scientists of the times it supposes the surface of the earth and air and water to be inhabit ed to a greater or less extent with a pecul iar growth of the lowest form of fungi commonly termed bacteria whose power of reproduction under favorable conditions is so great that a single germ will increase to fifteen million in twentyfour hours time and unchecked in its increase would grow to a mass of eight hundred urns iu three days time u space and food be fur nished there is ne condition under which it can be said to be absent unless it be from fire or air filtered through cotton- batting in numerous layers a single drop of water containing a germ put into water boiled filtered and thus fresd from bacteria will grow murky in a 4av or two from the development of new germs tvhen it is considered that it requires about forty billion to weigh one grain some remote idea can be bad of the capacity of germ reproduction professor john tyndah in j a late work elaborately treats of the influ ence of germs in the propagation of disease and charges upon this cause the inception and development of very many of the ail men te most injurioustoman professor fasteur an eminent french savant has carried his original and beautiful experi ments so far and from them deduced such practical results as very greatly to dimin ish the number of cases of anthrax among sheep and chicken cholera among fowls proving his theory and these are essentially and actually germ diseases these germs are carried into the system through the lungs the stomach and possibly the akin but through the lungs chiefly once in the system they begin to develop poisoning the blood invading the nerve centers dis turbing the functional activity of the great organs of the body and inducing a general impairment of the vital processes they are the cause of fevers rheumatism brights disease of the kidneys pneumonia blood poisoning liver disease diphtheria and many other ailmante lately profes sor koch a famous gerxnem physician has proved that consumption of the lungs is due to this cause the presence of a pecul iar germ when the circulation was bonnding the nerves elastic and the system all aglow with life and energy the germs seem to de velop poorly if at all but with weakened nerves poor digestion or rnaldsimilation of food at a lowering of vitality from any cause a change ensues and in this im poverished and weakened fluid the germ finds a genial home and develops until symptoms of disease are distinctly mani fested this is seen in the everyday ex perience of all the healthy man resists he influences around him and does not take cold while those whose systems have beoome weak from any cause- readily con tract colds this is oh the same principle as the germ theory the germs attack any weakened spot in the body and fixing themselves upon it begin their propaga tion it is plain therefore that it is only jy fortifying the weak portions of the body that the germs of disease can be resisted and driven from the system but this has proved almost ah impossibility heretofore and it has been the study of physicians for years how best to aooompliah it within the past few years however a preparation has been attracting great attention not only throughout the entire land bnt among the medical profession and soientiste gener ally which is baaed upon this theory and it may safely be said no remedy has ever- been f pond which can so sneoeesf ally place the system in a condition to resist the germs of disease as warners safe core this artiele is unquestionably the best and most efficient thyrtfiu ever been discover ed for this purpose and john say john i does the encyclopedia advertise warners safe core i should not wonder dear its a grand remedy and that pamphlet we received the other day stated that dr gunn ot the united bute medical college endorsed it at all event the wonderful core it is ao- rprnplishlng antitlit to habnnnrahlynottd among tbe great discoveries ot the present oentury however the facts above stated may be the
