If there were no microbes men would grow to gigantic stature and have Intellectual powers far in ad- vance of those which they possess at present. What is more, it is possible, at least, t0- Hve without microbes. Anyway, these-are the conclusions of no less an authority than Doctor Roux, who heads the Pasteur institute In Paris. They are based: upon the re- sult. of some’ experiments carried on by one of his pupils, Dr. Michael Co- hendy. Doctor Cohendy placed Some guinea pigs. under glass: at' the moment: of their birth. The air which they breathed was thoroughly sterilized, as was all' the food'administered to them. Ungquestionably many germs were able to reach them, but every precaution ‘known to science and possible with the application of one of the com- pletest laboratories in the world was exercised to protect them. The result rather astounded the doc- tor. The subjects grew with amazing rapidity, three*or four times as fast’ as guinea pigs of the same age sub- sisting under normal conditions. 1In the brief span of 12 days they were for the most part a third larger. Doctor Roux concludes that man, if under perfect antiseptic conditions from birth, would.develop very far be: yond what is possible as:things are at present. He even hints that with advancing knowledge, such conditions, if not attained, will be so approxi- mated as to materlally enhance the physical welfare and mental vigor of the race. Permanence of the Heroic. The way that the memory of heroes survives for tens of centuries in popu- lar story and tradition is astonishing. And no hero has left such a great le- gend as Alexander the Great. The Turks In complimenting the national hero of Albania; surnamed him Isken- Jer: (Alexander) -Bey, and ‘the follow- ing: passage from Steel's ‘“Indla Through the Ages” is evidence of the extraordinary impression made upon the Hindu mind by the exploits of the Macedonian in the Land of the Five Rivers: . “In every little village ‘Jullunder’ (Alexander) is still a name wherewith to conjure, and the village doctor still claims, with pride, to follow the ‘Yu- neni’ (Toninn) system of medicine.” Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water Before Breakfast /| 8ays we can't look or feel right ! with the system full of polsons. Milliors of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. “What's an inside bath?” you say. Well, it is guaranteed to perform miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts. There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime- stone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It is in- tended to flush the stomach, liver, kidneys and the thirty feet of intes- tines of the previous day’s waste, sour bile. and . indigestible ~material left over in the ‘body which if not elimin- ated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep- lessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments. People who feel good one day and badly the next, but whe simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phasphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast- ly more important fo bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, while the bowel pores do; 1 THE.
