GERM THEORY OF DISEASE.

the Position It Occupies and Attention It Is Receiving from Scientific Men. The germ theory of the origin of disease is a subject which is at present attracting the attention of scientific men in all parts of the world. The chief importance of the germ the- ' ory, however, is not that it shows the origin of disease but that it points out the best means to be employed to effect a cure. The germs of disease, from whatever source they come, are lodged and developed in the blood. The blood, of course, by circulating to every part of the body, is sure to scatter disease throughout the system whenever it is impure, the weakest and most susceptible parts being the first to suffer. It is because of scrofulous taints in the blood, for instance, that the skin becomes covered with eruptions. It is Tactic acid in the TlloOd which causes rheumatism, and it is because the blood does not supply proper nourishment to the nerves that people suffer with nervousness. The cure for all these diseases, and of many others, can only be effected by purifying the blood, and absolutely destroying all germs of disease. No intelligent person can doubt that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has actually and permanently cured many thousands of cases of scrofula, rheumatism, nervousness, dyspepsia and other troubles, and, as its proprietors claim, it is all because this medicine purifies the blood. As a matter of fact, Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the only reliable blood purifier that is before the public to-day, and persons afflicted with impure blood or any of the great variety of ailments which it causes, will be most certain to find relief and cure in Hood’s Sarsaparilla because It possesses this peculiar power to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood, and destroy the germs of disease.
