KEEP THE BABY GERM-PROOF.
In almost every, case invasion by disease means invasion by1' germs, and the way to prevent the onset or to cure the ■ disease when established is virtually the same, namely, to render the baby practically germ-proof. The researches of Pasteur, Lister, Koch, Metchnikoffj and a host of other observers, have shown beyond all doubt that, if kepi; "fit" and well-nourished, the individual microscopic cells of which our bodies are composed can hold their own .igainst the myriad hostile cells which may attack them from without or multiply within, but, if we let ourselves run down, the enemy unit against unit may prove the,better fighter and may win the day. Viewed in this light the maintenance? of health and the treatment of disease are for the most part mere variations of the same theme. Disease is best treated and counter-acted by paying more than ordinary attention to every factor known to be essential to tho maintenance of vigorous life and health.
