treacherous in its nature and so danger
Gus in its results as TO justly cause ap-
prehension wherever it has appeared
But there are so many erroneous ideas
upon the subject that a few words are
in order at time when people are sub
jeot to malarial influences.
Malaria, which means simply bad air,
is the common name of class of di-
seases which arise from spores of de-
caying vegetable matter, thrown off
from staguant pools or piles of vegeta-
ton undergoing decomposition. These
spores when inhaled with the breath or
taken into the system with water soon
enter the blood whereby the whole
system is poisoned and the various
functions disordered. When the germ
theory of disease was first advanced it
was supposed that these spores were of
animal nature, and like the bacteria in
diphtheria were propagated in the blood,
but they are now conceived to be of
vegetable origin, like the fungi found
on decaying wood or in cellars. The
source of this state of the air is gener-
ally swamps or stagnant pools, which,
partially dried by the hot sun, send
fourth vapors loaded with this mala
rial poison. These vapors descend to
the earth in the night, cooled by the
loss Of tempature, and breathed by
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, slaugh-
ter houses, barns, etc, are fertile
source of malaria. One will often
notice in cominginto the neighborhood
of one of these sluggish streams that
pass through almost every village a
most villainous smell caused by the of.
fensive refuse which communicates its
bad odor to the atmosphere. especially
on hot days This absorbed into the
system by the lungs or taken in through
water, which also absorbs it from the
air, poisons the blood and deranges the
whole system. This poison is also de.
veloped in force in wells and springs
when they become low, and the result
of drinking these is the same as breath
ing the poisonous air. In a time of
drouth the great quantity of vegetation
that dries up in the meadows, stubble
fields and pastures, the corn fields and
forest leaves produces the same efliuvia.
On the prairies when large tracts of
prarie ground are turned over, the de
caying vegetation is widespread cause
of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poi.
soning are almost infinite. Disease of
a malignant and dangerous nature, ac-
companied by symptoms the most dis
tressing are certain to manifest them
selves and life is burden so long as
this poison remains in the system. The
indications of malarial poisoning are
loss of appetite, shortness of breath,
pains about the heart, wasting of flesh
and strength, dependency, nervous
ness, dull pains in various parts of the
body, headaches, dizziness, a coated
tongue and dry mouth, night sweats,
muscular debility, putting under the
eyes, an unusual color, ordor or sedi-
ment about the fluids passed from the
system, etc. Any one of the above
symptoms may be an indication of ma.
larial poison in the body which nee
essitates immediate and careful atten
ton.
But if malarial poison could not find
a Judgement in the human body, it
would be just as harmless as the oxy-
gen of the air The great difficulty is
that, after being absorbed into the sys-
TEN, it produces Instructions in the
stomach and lungs, clogs the circula
tion of the blood, affect the kidneys,
liver and other organs, and brings on
diseases of the most dangerous charac
ter. 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 keep
ing the great purifying organs of the
body in perfect health. These organs
are the kidney and liver. No one
whose kidneys or liver are in perfect
condition was ever afflicted by mala
rial poison. And when these organs
are disordered, they not only permit,
but invite, these diseases to make their
inroads into the body. 1t is now ad.
mitted by physicians, scientists and the
majority of the general public that one
medicine, and only one whose power
has been tested and proven, has alb
solute control of, and keeps the kid
neys and liver in constant health and
hence prevents maarial 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 1t fully
couhteracts the evil effect of malar,al
poison i'll the system, and not only ban
ishes it, but restores the members
which that poison has weakened. How
well does this can be learned from
the following:

No one eau afford to trihe with the
