INVISIBLE POISON.
How il Works Its Way Into the Rody
and How TO Counteraet 1T

in Its nature aud 80 dangerous in It's re-
suits as to Justly cause apprehension wher-
ever ii has appeared. But there are so
many erroneous idess upon the subject
that few words are in order ut this time
when people are subjec. TO malarial in
tiuences.
Malaria, which simply means bad air,
rs tie common name for class of diseases
which arise from spores of decaying veg
etaoe matter, thrown off from stagnant
pools OF piles of vegetation undergoing
decomposition. These spores when in
hailed 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 disordered. When
the germ theory of disease was first adj
vanced it was supposed that these spores
were Of animal nature, and like the bac-
terra in diphtheria were propagated in the
blood, but they are now conceived to lie
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, partial
ly dried by the hot sun, send forth vapors
loaded with malarial poison. These
vapors descend to the earth in the night,
| brea'hed by sleepers are readily inhaled
Hence persons living near stagnsnt pools
or marshes are liable to be afflicted with
chilIs and fever, and such localities are
never healthy. though they are more so
when the streams flowing into them are
pure, anu also when the water is high.
Again the drainage of houses. slaughter
houses, barns, etc, sre fertile source of
malaria. One will often notice in COM
ing into the neighborhood of one OF these
sluggish streams that pass through almost
every village most villainous smell
caused by the offensive refus which com
mgnicates its bad ordor to the atmosphere,
especially on hot days. This absorb
ed into the system by the lungs or taken
in through water, which also absorbs it
from the air, poisons the blood and de-
ranges 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 mp in the meadows, stubple
fields and pastures, the corn fields and
forest leaves, produces the same efiuvla.
On the prairies when large tracts of prai-
RE ground are turned over, the decaying
vegetation is a widespread cause of ma
laria.
The evils which follow malarial poison
ing are almost infinite. Disease Of ma
lignant and dangerous nature, accompa-
MED by symptoms the most distressing are
certain to manifest themsel yes and life is
a burden so long IA this poison remains in
the system. The indications of maiarial
poisoning are loss of appetite, shortness of
breath, pains about the heart, wasting of
flesh and strength, dependency, nervous
ness, chilly sensations, unaccouDtable las
situde, dull pains in various parts OF the
body, headaches, dizziness. 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 malarial poison in the body
which necessitates immediate and careful
attention.
But if malarial poison could not find a
Judgement in the human body, it would
be lust as harmless as the oxygen of the
air. The great difficulty is that, after be-
ing absorbed into the system, it produces
Instructions in the stomach and lungs,
clogs the cii lation OF the blood, affects
the kidneys, liver and other organs, and
brings on diseases of a most dangerous
ch aracter There is only one known way
by which these diseases may be avoided or
cured after they have once made their APP
pearance, ard that is by keeping the great
purifying organs of the body III perfect
health. These organs are the kidneys
and liver. No one whose kidneys or liver
are in perfect condition was ever afilict-
ed by malariai poison. And when these
organs are disorderei. they not only per
init, but invite, these diseases to make
their inroads into the body. 1t is now adj
mitted by physicians scientists and the
ma ioritv 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 ma
Iarial sickness. This remedy is War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
the most popular medicine before the
American people and sold by every drug
gist in the land. 1t fully counteracts the
evi. effects Of malarial poison in the sys-
TEN. and not only banishes It, but restores
the members which that poison has weak
ened. How well it does this can be learn
ed from the following:

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

ney and Liver Cure, which seemed to help
me right away, and feel as well az | ever

pie in this malarious country.

This great remedy has proven it, power
in innu.nerable cases, and il 9 6sy more
extensively used in malarial districts,
whether In cities O. In the country, than
any or all othe- remedies for the cure of
the same class of disease No one can
afford to trife with the frat symptoms Of
malaria b1t instant care should be aiken
to check it on the start before its evil in
luences oversize dow the life.
