BATTLE OF THE MICROBES. + Reason Why the Doctors and Nurses ¢ of the Philadelphia Hospital Were Taken Down with Consumption. The alarming reports in Philadel- phia papers in reference to the doc. tors and nurses of the Philadelphia Hospital being taken down with tu- berculosis (consumption) while at- tending and caring for victims of the disease has caused the greatest inter- est among the forces at work to stamp out and prevent this disease. CLEANLINESS AND NOURISH- MENT. Hundreds of thousands are killed annually by consumption, yet it could, by proper vigilance and intel- ligence, be stamped out as completely as the black plague which swept away In one‘year more than half the population of Europe. The problem of the black plague or Black Death, like that of leprosy, was a problem of cleanliness. Vast populations living in misery and filth kept alive leprosy and plague. Better sewerage, more fresh water, clothes changed a little oftener wiped out those diseases. In dealing with consumption there are two great problems. First, the fundamental problem which underlies the disease, fresh air, and more important still, PROPER NOURISHMENT. A body properly fed, lungs prop- erly supplied with air, will repel the attacks of consumption. In popula- tions properly fed and ventilated con- sumption will disappear, as other dis- eases hav@ disappeared before clean- liness. CAN BE SPREAD BROADCAST. At present consumption, a disease ten thousand times as dangerous as the choJera, can be spread broad- cast by any one afflicted. There is no law whatever govern- ing the dissemination of a distase which is absolutely contagious and absolutely sure to ke taken into the lungs of any person made suscepti- ble by improper physical condition. The consumptive can already be cured by proper treatment, proper food and proper breathing, LOW STATE OF VITALITY. In the case of the Philadelphia Hospital staff doctors and nurses their attack by the disease is due to exposure, which when used by doc- tors means any condition that tends to exhaust vitality and waste tissue. They would not have suffered from the disease had they not been in a weakened condition physically, with a low state of vitality. The confine- ment of their duties and unfavorable surroundings would cause that condi- tion. Tissue {s to the bay what the foundation and framework is to a building—it is what all the different organs of the body are made of. Al- though they seem to be made up of different parts, they are all com- posed of the same thing, called tis- sue, fibre or cells. Each day we use up a certain amount of tissue. The blood is drawn upon to make up for this wear and tear, the little cells taking thelr own particular needs. If new tissue is built as fast as the old is used we get the vital force by which we live. If it is not, the re- sult is death, either directly or by weakening vitality, so that the sys- tem is unable to fight off visiting disease, THE BATTLE OF THE MICROBES The microbe is the name applied alike to little living bodies that cause disease, and to those that do not. They exist everywhere, in our food, in water, in the air we breathe. Those that cause disease are taken into our bodies every day along with those | that do good. Fortunately, Nature has provided They live and dwell in our bodles, and they are our only protection against the microbe or germ of con- sumption, called the bacillus tuber- culosis, as they are against all other disease germs. They are in constant warfare with the visiting disease + microbes—and here we come again to the importance of healthy tissue and a properly nourished system—of vital force and fighting power. This fighting power is necessary to give the little creatures guarding our health the strength to overcome and destroy the disease germs. This ex- plains why the person of weak body and low vitality “catches” disease, while the person with healthy blood and tissue lives with disease all around and never “catches” it, It is the same in epidemics, whether of grip or other diseases; if your body has been nourished and new tissue made as fast as it has been used you have only to keep clean, breathe fresh air and get plenty of rest; then you are in no danger. Father John’s Medicine, nourishes the body, builds new tissue and makes strength—tkat's how dis- ease germs are made harmless. It cures consumption, as the remarka- ble letters of indorsement printed be- low show. The principle of this medicine 1s, simple. It furnishes the food that the body requires and strengthens each organ so that it can do its work —that is how the system is cleared of the impurities and poisonous waste matter; and it supplies bodily warmth and vitality. Its ingredients are the same kind of food and nourishment that blood and tissue are made of—pure and wholesome, BY REV. FR. JOSEPH PONTUR. Writing from Lafargeville, N. Y., on February 7, 1902, Rev. Fr. Jo- seph Pontur, of St. John’s Parish,! said: “One of my parishioners, al- most despondent of ever getting cured, given up by the doctors as a consumptive, upon my firm advice is using your medicine, and since hi been constantly improving, to tl grea® joy of her parents and friends.” Again, four months later, Rev. Fr. Pontur writes: “The young woman referred to in my letter of February 7, 1902, who was given up by all the doctors as consumptive, continues to {mpi wonderfully by using Father John’s Medicine.” WHEN THERE WAS NO HOPE. Mr. Alfred Michaud, of 139 Lowell Street, Lawrence, Mass., writing un- der date of June 20, 1902, says: “After being sick for eight months and given up by the doctors, who said there was no hope for me be- cause I was too far gone in consump- tion, I began taking Father John's Medicine six months ago. In a month I felt like a new man and had gained six pounds. I continued to improve and am now working every day. I cannot say enough for your medi- cine. 1 feel it is a godsend to me and my family. (Signed) Alfred Michaud, 139 Lowell Street, Law- rence, Mass."” Remember, this old remedy is not a patent medicine—a learned doctor prescribed it for the late Rev. Fr. John O'Brien, of Lowell, Mass,, fifty years ago, by whom it was recom- mended, and from whom it derived its name. It is free from weakening stimulants, opium, morphine or other poisonous drugs found in the great majority of patent medicines. Noth- ing equals it for colds, throat and lung troubles—it prevents pneumo- nia and consumption, The money is refunded in any casé where it does millions of little health mlecrobes. | not do all that 1s claimed for it, Holiday Home List; Read It If You Are Looking for Rents.
