HOW IT WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE BODY AND
| HOW TO COUNTERFEIT IT.
| 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 so dangerous in its results as to justly
| cause apprehension wherever 1t has appeared.
| But there are so many erroneous ideas upon
the subject that few words are in order at q
time when people are subject to malarial in
.t1uences.
Malaria which means simply bad air, is the
common name of class of diseases which
arise from spores Of decaying vegetable matter,
thrown off from stagnant pools or piles OF veg
citation undergoing decomposition. 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 dsordered When the germ
theory of disease was first advanced 1t was
supposed that these spores were of animal
nature and like the bacteria in diphtheria were
propagated in the blood, but they are now con-
ceived 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 vap0rs loaded
with this malarial poison. These vapors de-
scend to the earth in the night, cooled by the
loss of temperature, and breathed by sleepers
are readily inhaled. Hence persons living near
stagnant pools or marshes are liable to be af
ficted 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 vllainous
smell caused by the offensive refuse which
communicates lis 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 developed in force
in wells and springs when they become low,
and the result of drinking these is the same as
breathing the poisonous air. In time Of
drouth the great quantity OF vegetation that
dries up in the meadows, stubble fields and
the corn fields and forest leaves pro-
duces the same etf1uvia. On the prairies when
large tracts of prairie land are turned over,
the decaying vegetation is widespread cause
of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poisoning
are almost infinite. Disease OF a malignant
and dangerous nature, accompanied by symp-
toms the most distressing are certain tC mani
fest themselves and life is a burden so long as
this poison remains in the system. The in
dication OF malarial poisoning are loss of appe-
lite, shortness OF breath, pains about the heart,
wasting of flesh and strength, dependency,
nervousness, chilly sensations, unaccountable
asstude, dull pains in various parts of the
body head aches, dizziness, a coated tongue
and dry mouth, night sweats, muscular debil-
ity, putting under the eyes, an unusual color,
odor Or sediment about the fluids passed from
The system, etc. Any one OF the above symp-
toms may be an Indication of malarial poison
in the body which necesstates immediate and
careful attention.
But if malaral poison could not find lodg-
ment in The human body, it would be just as
harmless as the oxygen OF the air The great
difficulty is that, after ibeing absorbed in the
SYSTEM, produces Instructions in the stomach
and lungs, clogs the circulation of the blood,
affects the kidneys, liver and other organs, and
brings on diseases OF a most dangerous char
acter. There is only one known way by which
these diseases may be avoided or cured after
hey have once made their appearance, and
hat is by keeping the great purifying organs
Of the body in perfect health. These organs
ire the kidneys and liver, No one whose kid
neys or liver are in perfect condition was
ever afflicted by maarial poison. And when
these organs are disordered, they not only per-
nit, but invite, these diseases to make their
nroads into the body. 1t is now admitted by
HySlClaI1S, SCIENTISTS ana Tue 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 IN constant health and hence prevents
nalaral sickness. This remedy is Warmers
safe Kidney anu Liver Cure, the most popular
Medicine before the American people, and sold
~ every druggist in the land. 1t fully counter
Icts the evil effect of malarial poison in the
ystem, and not only banishes it, but restores
he members which that poison has weakened.
low well it does this can be learned from the
blowing:
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 26, 1S02-Moving
rom the state of New York to the western
country, was attacked with malaria and gen.
,ral debility l had lost all appetite and was
hardly able to move about. I had tried great
many remedies but nothing bettered my con-
iitlon until began using Warmers Safe Kid
icy and Liver Cure, which seemed to helpme
light away, and feel as well as l ever have in
ny life. 1t is u blessing to people in this ma
arlous country. CT. WILLIAM,

This great remedy has proven its power in
cases, and is to-day more ex-
ensVely used in malaral districts, whether in
titles or in the country, than any or all other
emedies for the cure of the same class of dis
ase. No one Can afford to trifle 18th the first
ymptOms of malaria, but instant care should
,e taken to check ii on the start before its evil
Influences overshadow the life.
