INVISIBLE POISON.
How It Works It's Way into the BODY ana
How to Counterfeit It.


One Of the great scourges OF the present
year in all parts Of America has been malaria.
This is a trouble so treacherous in its nature
and so dangerous in its results IS to justly
cause appreh ension wherever it has appeared
But there are so many erroneous ideas upon
the subject that few words are in order at q
time when people are subject to malarial In
nuences-
Malaria, which means simply bad air, Ia the
common name Of a class of diseases which
arise from spores OF decaying vegetable mat
ter, thrown of from stagnant pools or piles Of
vegetation undergoing decomposition. 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 functions disordered. When the
germ theory of disease was first advanced it
was supposed that these spores we're OF ami
NAL nature, and like the bacteriain diphther.a
were propagated in the blood, but they are
now conceived to be of vegetable origin, like
lars The source of this state of the air is
generally RWaInps or stagnant pools, which,
partially dried By the hot sun, send forth va
pors loaded with this malarial poison. These
Fapors descend TO the earth in the night,
cooled by the loss Of temperature, and breatned
by sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence per-
sons living near stagnant pools or marshes are
liable to be afflicted with chills and fever, and
are more 90 when the streams flowing into
theIn are pure, and also when the water is
nigh. Again the drainage Of houses, slaugh-
ter-houses, barns, etc, are fertile source OF
malaria. One viii often notice in coming
into the neighborhOod of one of these sluggish
streams that pass through almost every village
a most villainous smell caused by the often
ave refuse which communicates its bad odor
to the atmosphere, especially on hot days.
This absorbed into the system by the lungs or
taken in through water, which also absorbs it
tho afr he L.
the whole system. This poison is also deYel-
oped in force in wells and springs when they
become low, and the result of drinking these
L. the same as breathing the poisonous 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 effiuvia. On
the prairies when large tracts of prairie ground
are turned over, the decaying vegetation 10 a
widesp reads cause Of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poisoning
are almost infinite. Disease of a malignant
and dangerous nature, accom- panied by symp-
toms the most distressing are certAinto mani
fest themselves and life is a burden so long as
this poison remains in the system. The fndi-
cations of malarial poisoning are. loss Of appe-
tites shortness of breath, pains about the
heart, wasting Of flesh and strength, despond-
ency, nervousness, chilly sensations, unac-
eountable lassitude, 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
unusual color, ordor or Sediment about the
fluids passed from the system, etc. Any one
OF the above symptoms may be an indication
Of malarial poison in the body which necessi-
tates Immediate and careful attention.
But IL malarial poison could not find lod ge-
ment in the human body, it would be just az
harmless as the oxygen OF the air The great
difficulty is that, after being absorbed into
the system, it produces distractions in the
stomach and lungs, clogs the circulation OF
the blood, affects the kidneys, liver and other
hrfn An eaa n n
gerous character. There is only one known
way by which these diseases may be avoided
or cured after they have once made their ap-
pearance, 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 a perfect
condition was ever afflicted by malarial poi
son. And when these organs are disordered,
they not only permit, but invite, these dis
eases to make their inroads 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 malar1aI sickness.
This remedy is Warners 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
which that poison has weakened. How well it
does this be learned from the following:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June %, 1682.-MoVing
from the State of New York to the Western
country, was attacked with malaria and gem
eral debility. had lost all appetite and was
hardly able to move about. / had tried
great many remedies, but nothing Dettered
my condition until 1 began using Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which seemed to
help me right away and / feel ss well as ever
have in my life. It is blessing to people In
this malarious country, @. +. WILLIAM,

This great remedy has proven It's power in
tnnumerable cases, and is to-day more exten.
siveiy used in maIarial Districts whether in
cities or In the country, than any or all other
remedies for the cure of the same class Of dis
ease. No one can afford to trihe with the first
symptoms Of malaria, but instant care should
be taken to check it on the start before it's
evil Influences overshadow the life.
