[, ABOUT GERMS 11
COMMON SENSE
A reader of a thoughtful turn,
would like a little light upon the germ
theory of disease. If germs are so
very deadly, and if thy --multiply so
fast, how is the human race saved
from extermination, she asks. She
would also like to know what common
sense tells us to do about germs.
The fact of the matter is that dis-
ease germs, dangerous though they
are, do not have everything their own
way. They are not very long lived.
They cannot exist unless they find
suitable soil. They must have proper -
degrees of temperature and moisture.
They are blasted by the breezes of the
atmosphere and withered by the bright
rays of the sun. If every single dis-
ease germ proved fatal to -every per-
son attacked the result would be a
speedy end to the human race. But
disease germs must attack in force to
be effective, they must find a non-
resistant soil, and even then the- hu-
man body will general* destroy them
after a resistance that we speak of
as an "illness."

I think it is safe to make the broad
statement that germs from the body
of a person in health will do no harm
to other persons. It is true that even
a healthy person carries constantly
germs that are capable, under certain
conditions, of creating disease, but
while the body is in health they lack
virulence.
There is one great exception, and
that is in the bodies, of persons who
are "disease carriers." These "car-
riers" are those who had had a dis-
ease, such as typhoid, fever or diph-
theria, have -recovered from it so that
they are immune to its germs, but for
some reason still harbor the live germs
in their bodies, and are capable of
passing them on to ether persons in
such a way as to transmit the disease.
I do not think that harmful carriers
are so very numerous, but there are
enough so that I feel sure that all
persons employed in dairies, in baker-
ies, in restaurants, or hi the produc-
i302
tion or preparation of any food sup-
plies should be regidly questioned as
to their previous illnesses and a physi-
cal examination made to determine
their safety to the public.
Just as the human body in health is
perfectly safe to others, the same body
in contagious illness is actively dan-
gerous to others. The germs that rest -
in the mouth and throat harmlessly
during health become active for evil
when health has given way to illness.
Most of the spread of contagious dis-
ease comes from a well person coming
in contact with one who is ill with the
disease.
I will sum the matter up by saying:
Don't bother about germs so long as
you are in good health. In case of
illness quarantine yourself until you
know that you cannot spread con-
tagion. Avoid actual contact with per-
sons who show symptoms of contagi-
ous disease. That's all you can do.
Don't worry.—Dr. C. H. Lerrigo.
Rats are about as much good to the
