The majority of well-read phys-
icians now believe that Consump-
tion is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and.
eating them away as caterpillars dc!
the leaves of trees.
The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
parts of the lungs
which have been.
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called;
are too sma to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with,
frightful rapidity. Then German.
Syrup comes in, loosens them T kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in a short time consump-
tives become germ -proof and well. 41*
