Some ereate toxins, causing such troubles as Rheumatism, Blood Polson, Kid- ney Disease and nerve weakness, Some destroy vital organs, as. in Con- sumption. Some—like the germs of Cntarrb—create Inflammation; some cause indigestion. Direetly or indi- veetly, nearly every serious ailment is a'germ result. Such diseases call for taken internally.
