Body and How tOC0nnteract 1t.
One aof the great scourges Of the present
year mall OF America has been mala-
ria. Thighs atrouble so tfeacher0us in its
nature aud so dangerous in its results as TO
Justly cause apprehension wherever il has
appeared. But there are 80 many erroneous
ideas upon the subject that few words are
in order at time when people are subject
to malarial influences.
Malaria, which means simply bad air, is
the common name OF class OF diseases
which arise from spores OF decaying vege-
table matter, thrown off from stagnant pools
or piles OF vegetation undergoing decompo-
sition. 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 dis
ordered. 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 generally swamps
or stagnant pools, which. partially dried by
the hot sun, send forth. vapors loaded with
this malarial poison. These vapors de
scended to the earth in the night, cooled
by the loss OF temp arature, and breathed
by sleep.rs are readily inh led. 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 50 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 q fertile source OF malaria. One
will often notice in coming into the neigh
borhood OF one OF these sluggish streams
that pass through most every village most
villainous smell caused by the offensive re.
fuse which communicates its bad odor to
the atmosphere, especially on hot days
This absorbed into the system by the lungs
or taken through water, which also absorbs
it from the air, poisons the blood and
deranges the whole System. This poison is
also developed in force in wells and springs
drinking these is the same as breathing the
poisonous air. In time of drouth the
great quantity of vegetation that dries NJ
in the meadows, stubble fields and forest
leaves produces the same cflluvia. On the
prairies when large tracts OF prairie ground
are turned over, the decaying vegetation is
widespread cause of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poison
ing are almost infinite. Disease of q
malignant and dangerous nature, accompa,
MED by symptoms the most distressing art
certain to manifest themselves and life is q
burden so long as this poison remains in the
system. The indications of malarial pois-
oning are loss of appetite shortness of the
breath, pains about the heart, wasting oil
flesh and strength, dependency, nervous.
ness, chilly sensations, unaccountable lassi
tnde, dull pains in various parts oil
the body, headaches, dizziness, coat
ed, and foul tongue and very dry mouth
night swcats, muscular debility, putting
under the eyes, an unusual color, odor on
sediment about the fluids pass from the sys
tenn, etc. Any one OF the above symptoms
may be an indication OF malarial poison in
the body which necessitates immediate and
careful attention.
But ii malarial poisons could not find a
Judgement i'll the human body, it would be
just us harmless as the oxygen of the air
The great difficulty is that, after being alb.
sorbed into the system, it produces obstruc
tons in the stomach and lungs, clogs the
circulation Of the blood, affects the kidneys
liver and other organs, and brings on dis
eases OF q most dangerous character There
is only one known way by which these dis
eases may be avoided or cured after they
have once made their appearance, and thai
is by keeping the great purifying organs OF
the body in perfect health. These organs
are the kidneys and liver. No one whose
kidneys and liver are in aperfect condition
was ever afflicted by malarial poison. Anc
when these organs are disordered, they MOI
only permit, but invite, these diseases tt
make theirinfoads 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 con
troll Of, and keeps the kidneys and liver in
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. 1t full,
ly cornteracts the evil effect of malarial
poison in the system, and not only banishes
it, but restores the members which that poi
son has weakened. How we'll it does this
can be learned from the following:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June &c, lSS2-Mov-

tern country, was attacked with malarial
and general debility. l had lost all appe-
tite and was hardly able to move about. |

which seemed to help me right away, and

This great remedy has proven its power
in innumerab.e cases, and is to-day more
extensively used in malarial districts,
whether in cities or in the country, than
any or all other remedies for the cure OF the
same class OF disea&e No enc can afford ia
trihe with the first symptoms of malaria,
but instant care should be taken to check il
on the start before its evil influence over
shadows the life.
