INVISIBLE POISON.
How it Works its Way into the Body and
How to Counteract it.

How IL " orkS Its way into the Body and
How to COunteract it.
One of the great scourges of the present
year in all parts of America has been ma
laria. This is 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 time when people
are subject to malariaI influences.
Malaria,which means simply bad air. is the
common name of a class of diseases which
arise from spores of decaying vegetable
matter, thrown off from stagnant pools or
piles OF vegetation undergoing deoomposi-
ton. 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 func-
tions disordered. When the germ theory
of disease was first advanced it was sup
posed that these spores were of animal
nature, and like the bacteria in diphtheria
were propagated 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 malarial sso9ison. These
vapors descend 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 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 water is high.
Again the drainage OF houses, slaughter
houses, barns, ETC., are fertile source of
malaria. One will often noticein coming in
to the neighborhood of one of these sluggish
streams that pass through almost every
village most viilinaous smell caused by
the offensive refuse which communicates
its bad odor to the atmosphere, especially
on hot days. This absorbed into the sys-
TEN 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
x
that dries up in the meadows, stubble fields
and pastures, the corn fields and forest
leaves produce the same efiuvia. On the
prairies when large tracts Of prairie ground
are turned over. the decaying vegetation is
a widespread cause of malaria.
The evils which follow maiarial poison
ing are almost infinite. Desease of a ma

are certain to manifest themselves and life
IS burden so long as this poison remains
in the system. The indications of malari-
al poisoning are loss of appetite,shortnes
of breath, pains about the heart, wasting
of flesh and strength, dependency, ner-
vousness, chilly sensations, unaccountable
lassltude, dull pains in various parts of
the body, headaches, dizziness, a 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
Judgement IN the human hody, it would be
just as harmless as the oxygen of the air.
The great difficulty is that, after being alb
sorbsd into the system, it produces OBJ
structions in the stomach and lungs, clogs
the circulation of the blood. affects the
kidneys, liver and other organs, and brings
on diseases of a dangerous character.
There is only one known way by which
these diseases may be avoided or cured af-
ter 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 or liver are in perfect con-
dition was ever afflicted by malarial poison
And when these organs are disordered, they
not only permit, but invite, these diseases
to make their inroads into the
body. 1t is now admitted by physi-
clans, scientists and the majority of the
general public that one medicine. and only
one whose power has been tested and prov
en-, has absolute control of, and keeps the
kidneys and liver in constant health and
hence prevents malarial sickness. This
remedy is Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, the most popular medicine before
the American people, and sold by every
druggist in the land. 1t fully counteracts
the evil effect of malarial poison in the
system. and not only banishes it, but re-
stores the members which that poison has
weakened. How well it does this can be
learned from the following:

This great remedy has proven its power
IN innumerable cases. and is to day more
extensively used in malarial districts.
whether in cities or in the country. than
any OF all other remedies for the cure of
the same class of disease. No one can af-
ford to trifie with the first symptoms of
malaria, but instant care should be taken
to check it on the start before its evil in
