They are given this name because of one outstanding and important characteristic. They are all spread from one person to another, from the rick to the well, and usual­ ly the spread is fairly direct. The reason why these diseases are communicable is that they are all caused by ‘ disease germs. Disease germs are so small that we cannot see them without the aid of the mic­ roscope; for that reason they are called microscopic. They live, grow and multiply just as truly as if they were many times bigger. It is the transference of these living disease j germs from the sick to the wellI which account for the spread of the communicable diseases. Each of the communicable diseases is caused by its' own special germ, germ which causes diphtheria never causes any other disease, and no oth­ er disease germ ever causes Diphth­ eria. Disease germs do not grow in nat­ ure outside the human or animal body. They may exist for a time, but they do not grow and multiply. Some of them are hardier than others, but sunlight kills them all in a short time: Bad smells are offensive and we do not want them, but bad smelts do not cause communicable diseases, such diseases are always caused by disease germs, and because of the fact that these disease germs die comparatively quickly outside of the because they give RESULTS that mean EXTRA DOLLARS to me .
