INVISIBLE POISON
How IL Works its Way into the
Body and How TO Counter


act 1t.
One of the great scourges of the
present year in all parts of America
has been malaria. This is a trouble
so treacherous in its nature and SC
dangerous it its results as to Justly
cause apprehension wherever il has
appeared. But there are 20 InaEy
erroneous ideas upon the subject
| that few words are in order at Il
time when people are subject Ia
malarial Influences.
Malaria, which means simply bad
air, is the common name of class
| of diseases which arise from spore>
| of decaying vegetable matter,
thrown off from stagnant pools Oh
piles of vegetation undergoing de-
composition. These spores when
inhaled with the breath or taken
into the system with water soon
enter the blood and terminating
| there find foothold, whereby the
whole system is poisoned and the
various functions dieordered. When
the germ theory of disease was first
advanced it was supposed that these
i spores were of animal nature, and
like the bacteria in diphtheria were
propagated in the blood, but they
are now conceived to be of vegeta-
bic origin, like the fungi found ON
decaying wood or in cellars. The
source of this state of the air is gen
orally sWamps or sta9nant pools,
which, partially dried by the hol
sun, send forth vapors loaded with
! this malarial poison. These vapors
descend to the earth i'm the night,
cooled by the loss of temperature,
aud brealhed ny sleepers are readily
inhaled. Hence persons living
near stagnant pools or marshes are
liable to be afflicted with chills and
fever, and such localities are never
| healthy, though they are more so
when the streams flowing into them
are pure, and also when the water
| is high. Again the drainage of
houses, slaughter houses, barns,
etc, are fertile source of malaria.
One will often notice in coming into
| the neIghborhoOd of one OF these
sluggish streams that pass through
almost every village most villain
Gus smell caused by the offensive
refuse which communicates its bad
odOr to- the atmosphere, especially
on hot days. This absorbed into
the systen by the lungs or t;ken in
through water, which also ahsorts
/ it from The air, poisOns the blood
and dernges the whole system.
This poison is also developed in
force in wells and springs when
they become low, and the result of
drinking these Is the same lis
breathing the poisonous air In a
time of dr0uth the great quantity
of vegetation that dries up in the
meadows, stubble fields and pas
lures, the corn fields and for, st
leaves produces the same cffiuvia.
On the prairies when large tracts of
prairie ground are turned over, the
decay ing vegetation is Il widespread
cause of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial
poisoning are almost infinite. Dis
ease of malignant and dangerous
nature, accompanied by symptoms
the most distressing are certain TO
manifest themselves and life is
burden so long as this poison re-
mains in the system. The indica-
tions of malarial poisoning are loss
OF appetite, ShortnesS of breath,
pains about the heart, wasting of
flesh and strength, dependency,
nervousness, chilly sensations, UNI
accountable lassitude, dull pains in
various parts of the body, head
aches, dizziness, a coated tongue
and dry mouth, night sweats, mus
cular debility, putting under the
eyes, an unusual color, odor or
sediment about the fluids passed
from the system, etc. Any one of
the above symptoms may be an in
dicatiOn of nalarial poison in the
body which necessitates immediate
and careful attention.
But if mafarial poison could not
find a Judgement in the human
body, it would be just as harmless
as the oxygen of the air. The great
difficulty is that, after being absorb
ed into the system, it produces OBJ
structiOns III the stomach and lungs,
clogs the circulation of the blood,
affects the kidneys, liver and other
organs, and brings OH diseases of a
most dangerous character. There
is only one known way by which
these diseases may be avoided or
cured after they have once made
their appearance, and that is by
keeping the great purifying organs
of the body in perfect health. These
organs are the kidneys and liver.
No one whose kidneys or liver are
in perfect condition was ever
afflicted by malarial poison. And
when these organs are diSOrdered,
hat ivx
these diseases to make their inrOads
into the body. 1t is now admitted
by physicians, scientists and the
majority of the general public that
one medicine, and only one whose
power has been tested and proven,
has absolute control of, and keeps
the kidneys and liver i'm constant
health and hence prevents malarial
sickness. This remedy is Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the
most popular medicine before the
American people, and sold by every
druggist in the land. Ii fully coun-
teracts the evil effect of malarial
poison in the system, and not only
baniShes it, but restores the mem
bers which that poison has weaken
ed. How well it does this can be
learned from the following:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 26, 1882.
Moving from the State of New
York to the western country, was
attacked with malaria and general
debility. | had lost all appetite and
was hardly able to move about.
1 had tried great many remedies,
but nothing bettered my condition
until l began using Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure, which
seemed to help me right away, and
| feel IA well as | ever have i'm my
life. 1t is a blessing to people Ill this
malarious country.
&. f. WILLIAM,
1872 Grand Ave, of William &
Co., Hardware.
This great remedy has proven it's
power in innumerable cases, and is
to-day more extensively used in
mafarial districts, whether in cities
or in the country, than any or all
other remedies for the cure of the
same class Of disease. No one can
afford to trifie with the first symp-
toms of malaria, but instant care
should be taken to check it on the
start before its evil influences over
the life.
