Invisible Poison.
HOW 1T WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE BODY
AND HOW TO COUNTERPART IT.

erroneous ideas upon the subject that
few words are IN order at time when peO-
pie are subject to malarial influences.
Malaria. which means simply bad air,
is the common name of Class Of diseases
which arises from spores Of decaylng veg
etable matter, thrown off 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
minating there lind foothold. whereby
the whole system is poisoned and the VA
rious functions disordered. When the germ
theory of disease was first advanced 1t was
supposed that these spores were Of animal
nature, and like the bacteria in iiphtheria
were propagated In the blood, but they are
now conceived to be OF vegetable origin,
like the fungi found Oh 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 descend to the earth
in the night, cooled by the loss of temper
allure, and breathed by sleepers are readily
inhaled. Hence persons living Lear stag
nant pools or marshes are liable to be St-
ficted with chills and fever, aud such To-
calities 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. &c.. 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, a most villainuus
smell caused by the offensive refuse which
communicates Its bad odOr to the atmos-
phere, especially on hot days. This absorb
ed into the system by the lungs OF taken in
through water, which also absorbs it from
the air, poisons the blood and deranges
the whole system. This poison is also de-
veloped in force in wells and springs when
they become low, and the result OF drink
ing these is the same as breathing the pols-
onous air. In time of drouth the great
quantity of vegetation that dries up in the
meadows, stubble fields and pastures. the
corn fields and forest leaves produces the
same eff1uvia. On the pTairles when large
tracts Of prairie ground are turned over,
the decaying vegetation is a widespread
cause of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poison
ing are almost infinite. Disease of a ma
lignant and dangerous nature accompani-
ed by symptoms the most distressing are
certain to manifest themselves and life is
a burden SO long as this poison remains III
the system. The indications of malarial
poisoning are loss of appetite, shortness of
bleath, pains about the heart, wasting Of
flesh and strength, desponderfcy, nervous
ness, chilly sensations, unaccountable las
situde, dull pains in various parts of the
body. headaches, dizziness,a coated tongue
and dry mouth, night sweats, muscular
debility, putting under the eyes, an unu-
sual color. odor or sediment about the
fluids passed from the system, etc. Any
one of the above symptoms may be an In
dication of malaria poison in the b'dy
which necessitates immediate and careful
attention.
But il malarial poison could not find q
lodgment in the human body, it would be
just as harmless as the oxygen of the air.
The great difficulty is that. after being abb
OTbed in the system, it produces obstruc-
ticns in the stomach and lungs, clogs the
circulation of the blood, affects the kid
neys, 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 pu-
rifying Organs OF the body in perfect
health. These organs are the kidneys and
liver. No one whose kidneys or liver are
in perfect condition was ever afflicted by
malarial poison. And wien these organs
are disordered. they not only permit, but
invite these diseases to make their inroads
into the body. 1t 10 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 malariai sickness. This
remedy is Walner's Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, the most popular medicine be-
fore the American people, and sold bv
every druggist in the land. 1t fully coun-
teracts the evil effect OF malarlal poison in
the system, and not only banishes it, but
has weakened. How well it does this can
be learned from the following:

This great remedy has proven It's power
in innumerable CAGES. 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 disease No one can at
ford to trifle with the first symptoms Of
malaria, but inatant care should be taken
to check it on the start before Its evil in
fuences Overshadow the life.
