Why does he "take" pneumonia' and not typhoid? Why does he contract this or that so called "Disease" and not contract an other so-called "Disease?" There is but one answer, to-wit: A certain organ, or organs, are deficient in what is trade-marked "Power of Re sistance." Why is it that some men never contract any so-called disease? There is but one answer, an dthat is that such men have "Resistive Power," sufficient to ward off any "Invasion," in whatsoever form it may come. As to the foregoing statements you may accept or reject the germ theory or any other theory. All authorities agree that the "Power of Resistance" is the repelling agent.—E. A. Sorben, D.
