Though their relation to the disease was long suspected, the final touch of proof came only as recently as 1913, when Noguchi and Moore, of the Rockefeller Institute, found the germs of the disease in the spinal cords of patients who had died of locomotor ataxia, and in the brains of those who had died of paresis.
There is of course no comparison between the two men on this head: nevertheless it is interesting to note in prototype the germs of the great work of Mr. Mill. It shows the remarkable and by no means accidental similarity between the men. The parallel is already too much drawn out, otherwise it would be worth observing on the characters and lives of these two men.
It will be seen that in this way several members of a community might become infected with the typhoid germs before anyone was aware that there was a case of typhoid or a "bacillus carrier" in the neighborhood. One more example out of the scores that might be cited to show how the fly may carry typhoid germs.
Two years ago he was taken suddenly ill, and died before his friends had any idea that his condition was serious. After all Savannah was a wonderful improvement on Andersonville. We got away from the pestilential Swamp and that poisonous ground. Every mouthful of air was not laden with disease germs, nor every cup of water polluted with the seeds of death.
But there is something more, there are dangerous elements in your nature which are less your fault than your fate, and which must be curbed in time, before they obtain a mastery over you, and plunge you into misery. I have been severe with you in order to expel the germs, but it has not been easy for me."
My fingers, however, consoled her for the disappointment, and I had the pleasure of seeing her look happy once more.

The approaches to the house where the patient may have expectorated should be disinfected and cleaned. Since the germs are able to live in the soil, fresh lime or wood ashes should be spread around the doorsteps and along the walks. They attack certain glands in the walls of the small intestine, where they produce toxins that pass with the germs to all parts of the body.
This cool unconsciousness of self, of him, of a situation which to any wholesome masculine mind contained the germs of humour, romance, and all sorts of amusing possibilities, began to be a little irksome to him. And still her aloofness amused him, too. "Do you know of any decorous reason why we should not talk to each other occasionally during this fog?" he asked.
Cow doctors don't use 'em, not that I ever heard of," declared Nort. "Though Doc. Tunison is up to date." "He sure was in discovering that it was germs which caused the epidemic outbreak in our stock last year," remarked Bud. "Yes, we got out of that mighty lucky," chimed in Dick. "What's become of Pocut Pete?" he asked, referring to a scoundrel of a cowboy.
Over this population the hand of natural selection is outstretched, as it were, and we are about to witness another gigantic removal of older types of life and promotion of those which contain the germs of further advance. As we have already explained, natural selection is by no means inactive during these intervening periods of warmth.
