HOW II WORKS IT'S WAY INTO THE BODY
AND HOW 10 ooUNTERAoT IT.
One Of the great scourges OF the present
vesr in all parts Of America has been
malaria This is trouble so Teacher
Gus in it's nature and so dangerous in Its
results as to justly cause apprehension
wherever 1t has appeared. But there are
50 many erroneous ideas upon the subject
that few words are In order at o time
when people are subject to malarlal in
huences.
Malaria, which means simply bad air,
Is the common name Of class Uf diseases
which arise from spores Of decaylng vege-
table matter, thrown of from stagnant
pools or 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 ger
minattng there find foothold, whereby
the whole system Is poisoned and the
various functions disordered. When the
germ theory OF disease was first advanced
1t was supposed that these spores were Of
animal nature, and hike the bacteria in
diphtherla were propagsted In the blood,
but they are now conceived 90 be OF vege-
table origin, like the fungi found on de-
csylng 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 malarlA poison. These vapors de-
scend TO the earth in the night, cooled by
the loss OF temperature, and hreathed by
sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence per-
sons living near stagnant pools Or marshes
are liable 10 be afflicted with chills and
fever, and such localities are never healthy,
thcagn they are more 30 when the streams
flowing into them are pure, and also when
the water Is high. Again the drainage OF
houses slaughter houses, barns etc, area
fertile source of malaria. One will often
notice IN coming into the neighborhood Of
one Of these siuggllsh streams that pSSS
through almost every village a most vii
lAinous smell caused by the offeRdve re-
fuse which communicates its bad odor TO
the atmosphere, especially on hot days.
This absorbed into the system b. the lungs
E taken in through water, which also ah-
serbs 1t from the air. poisons the blood and
'Ieranges the whole system. Tas poison
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 feds
and forest leaves produces the SAME eflL-
via. On the prairies when large tracts OF
prairie ground are turned over, the decay
ing vegetation Is widespread cause Ut
malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poison
ING are almost infinite. Disease of ma
hgnant and dangerous nature, accompa-
MED by symptoms the most distressing are
certain to manifest themselves ana life 10
q 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, chilly sensations, UnaCcountable las
situde, dull pains in various parts OF the
BODY, headaches, dizziness, q coated
tongue and dry mouth, night sweats, mus
cular debility, putting under the eyes, an
unusual color, ordor or sediment about the
fluids passed from the system, etc. ANY
one of the above symptoms may be an in
dication of malarlal poison IN the body
which necessitatcs immediate and careful
&tentlon.
But if malarial poison could not find
lodgment in the human body, IL would be
Just as harmless as the oxygen Of the air.
The great difficulty is that, after being ao-
scrdcrfonst m the stomach and lnnSs, clogs
the circulation of the bl oil, affects the
kidneys, liver and other organs, and brings
on diseases of most dangerous character.
There is only one known way by which
these diseases may be avoided or cured
after they have once made their appear
ance, and that is by keeping the great
purifying organs of the body in perfect
health. These organs are the kidneys aud
liver. No one whose kidneys or liver are
in perfect conlitiUn was ever afflicted by
malarIal poison. And when these organs
are di oraered, they not only permit, but
invite, these diseases to make their ill.,

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June 26, 1882
Moving from the state Of NewaYork to the
western country, 1 was attacked with
malaria and general debility. I had lost
all appetite and ives hardly able to move
about. L had tried great many remedies
but nothing bettered my condition until |
began using Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver cure, which seemed TO help me
night away, and feel as we'll as I ever
have IN my life. II Is blessing to people
IN this malarious country.

This grand remedy has proven its power
In innumerable cases, and Is to-day more
extensively used in maarial 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 trife with the first symptoms of
malaria, but instant care should be taken
to check 1t on the start before It's evil In
duences overshadow the life.
