INVISIBLE POISON.
How IL Works Its Way Into the
Body and How 10 COunteract IL.


One of the great scourges CT the pres
emit year in all parts OF America has been
malaria. This is trouble so treacherous
in its nature and so dangerous in its re-
suits as to Justly cause apprehension
wherever IL has appeared. But there are
SO many erroneous ideas upon the SUBJ
ject that q few words are in order at a
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 veg
etable matter, thrown off from stagnant
pools or 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 a foothold,
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 were of animal nature, and
like the bacteria in diphtheria were pro-
psgated 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
malsrial poison, These vapOrs descend
to the earth in the night, cooled by the
loss of temperature, and breathed by
sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence peTs
sons 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 wa
ter Is high. Again the drain
age of houses, slaughter houses, barns,
etc. are a 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 q most villainous smell caused by
the offensive refuse which communicates
Its bad odor to the atmosphere, especially
on hot days. This absorbed into the sys-
tenn by the lungs or taken in through wa
ter, which also absorbs 1t from the air,
poisons the blood and deranges the whole
system. This poison is also developed In
force in wells and springs when they be-
come low, and the result OF drinking
these is the same as breathing the poison
Gus air. In q time of drouth the great
quantity Of vegetation that dries up in
the meadows, stubble fields and pas
lures, the corn fields and forest leaves
produces the same effluvia. On the prai-
ries 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 ma
lignant and dangerous nature, accom-
panied by symptoms the most distressing
are certain to manifest themselves and
life is q burden SO long as this poison re-
mains in the system. The indications of
malarial poisoning are loss of appetite,
shortness of breath, pains about the heart,
wasting of fesh and strength, despond-
ffAY.a
accountable lassitude, dull pains in vari-
Gus parts of the body, headaches, dizzi,
ness, q coated tongue, dry mouth, night
sweats, muscular debility, putting under
the eyes, an unusual color. odor or sedi-
ment about the fluids passed from the sys-
TEN, 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 poison could not find q
Judgment IN the human body, it would be
just as harmless as the oxygen OF the air
The great difficulty is that, after being
absorbed into the system, 1t produces
distractions In the stomach and lungs,
clogs the circulation of the blood,
affects the kidneys, live- and other
organs, and brings on diseases OF q
most dangerous character. 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 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 perfect condl-
ton was ever afflicted by malarial poison,
And when these organs are disordered,
they not only permit, but invite, these
diseases to make their inr0ads 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 control of, and keeps the
kidneys and liver in constant health and
hence prevents mslarial sickness. This
remedy is Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, the most popular medl-
cine before the American people, and
sold by every druggist in the land. 1t
fully counteracts the evil effect of mala-
rial poison in the system, and not only
banishes it, but restores the members
which that poison has weakened. How
we'll It does this can be learned from the
following:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 26.-Moving

ern country, was attacked with malaris
and general debility. 1 had lost ali appe

This great remedy has proven its powe
in innumersble cases, and is to-day NOR,
extensively used in malarial districts
whether In cities or Ia the country, thai
any or all other remedies for the cure o
the same class Of disease. No one car
afford to trife with the first symptoms o
malaria, but instant care should be takel
to check II on the start, before its evil ii
