There was the bacillus anthracis; there was the micrococcus; there was the Bacterium termo, and the Bacterium lactis that's what turns the goat milk sour even to this day, Hare-Lip; and there were Schizomycetes without end. And there were many others...."
"Sure they're not dangerous?" "The afternoon tea bacillus is not wholly innocuous," suggested Uncle, pinching her cheek. It was good to see the loving look that reproved and repaid him. "Why, Bake," she protested, "tea never hurt anybody." "Oh, I've time enough," I said; "I have no regular days for going to Prof. Darmstetter, and the other studies "
Lloyd's discovery of the "death bacillus" of the sea toad, and his experiments on it with potassium cyanide, sent his name and that of his university ringing round the world; nor was Paul a whit behind when he succeeded in producing laboratory colloids exhibiting amoeba-like activities, and when he cast new light upon the processes of fertilization through his startling experiments with simple sodium chlorides and magnesium solutions on low forms of marine life.
"One imagines it was something like that," Lindsay said. "Oh, did she know about the bet?" cried Mrs. Barberry. "That's as you like to believe. I fancy she knew about the man," Lindsay contributed again. Daresay it served him right," remarked Dr. Livingstone. "If you really want to come to the laboratory, Mrs. Barberry, we ought to be off?"

If fiction is to be counted among the arts at all, it is not yet time to forget the saying of a very great man: "It is the mission of all art to create and foster agreeable illusions." Orsino Saracinesca was no further removed from the action of the analytical bacillus than other men of his age.
And when within a few years it was further demonstrated in rapid succession that most of the diseases of the spine in children, of the group of symptoms associated with enlarged glands or kernels in the neck and known as "scrofula" or struma, most cases of hip-joint disease, of white swelling of the knee, a large percentage of chronic ulcerations of the skin known as lupus, a common form of fatal bowel disease in children, and many instances of peritonitis in adults, together with fully half of the fatal cases of convulsions in children, were due to the activity of this same ubiquitous bacillus, it looked as if the enemy were hopelessly entrenched against attack.
The tubercular bacillus is a scavenger and therefore does not thrive in healthy bodies. It is the result of disease, not the cause. Tubercular subjects never have healthy digestive organs.
That is the difference. All boys can be prodigals if they have the prodigal bacillus in their systems when they go out into the world; but if they have the get-there-Eli microbe concealed in their pajamas when they go away, they can laugh at the traps and nets that are thrown out to catch them, stand off the alleged friends who try to induce them to go into the red paint business, use the red liquor to rub on bruises and strained muscles on the outside, instead of taking it internally to build fires that never quench.
