One of the great scourges of the present
year in all parts OF America has been
malaria This is trouble so treacher.
Gus in its nature and so dangerous in Its
results as to justly cause apprehension
wherever 1t has al paared. But there are
so many erroneous ideas upon the subject
that q few words are in order at q time
when people are subject to nslarlsl in
huences.
Malaria, which means simply bad air,
is the common name of a class If diseases
which arise from spores of decaying vege-
table 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 find a foothold, whereby
the whole system is poisoned and the
various 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
diphtheus were propagsted in the blood,
but they are now conceived 10 be of vege-
table origin, like the fungi found on de-
cayIng wood or in cellars The source of
this state of the air is generally swamps or
stsgnant pools, which partially dried by
the hot sun, send forth vspors loaded with
this malaral poison. These vapors de-
.scend TO the earth in the night, cooled by
the loss of temperature, and lreathed by
sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence per-
sons living near stagnant pools OF 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., area
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 vii
famous smell caused by the offensive re-
fuse which communicates its bad odor to
the atmosphere, especially on hot days.
This absorbed into the system by the lungs
OF taken in through water, which also alb
serbs II from the air. polsons the blood and
deranges the whole system. TINS 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
drouthsthe great quantity OF vegetation
that dries up in the meadows stubble fields
and forest leaves produces the same etilu-
via On the prairies when large tracts OF
prairie ground are turned over, the decay
ing vegetation is a widespread cause of
malaria
The evils which follow malarial poison
ing are almost infinite. Disease of q ma
hgnant and dangerous nature, accompa-
MED by symptoms the most distressing are
certain TO manifest themselves and life is
q burden so long as this poison remains IN
the system. the indications of malarial
poisoning are loss of appetite, shortness Of
breath, plins about the hesrt, wasting of
flesh ami strength, dependency, nervous
ness, chilly sensations, Unaccountable las
situde, dull pnns in various parts of the
body, heapaches, dizziness, a coated
tongue and dry mouth. night sweats, mus
cular 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 in
dicatiOn of malarlal poison IN the body
which Decessitatcs immediate and careful
attention.
But if malarial poison could not find a
lodgmeut in tie human body, it would be
Just as harmless as the oxygen Of the air.
The great difficulty is that, after being ao-
sorbed into The system, it produces OBJ
stIuctons in the stomach and lnngs, clogs
the circulation of the bl oil, affects the
kidneys, 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 Iusde their a, pear
ance, 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 coniition was ever afflicted by
malarial p5ison. And when these organs
are di -orrered, they not Only permit, but
invite, these di eases to make their ill.,
roads into the body. Ii Is how admitted
by physicians, scientists and the majority

medicine before the American people, and

that poison has weakened. How we'll it
does this can be learned from the follow
ing:
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June 26, 1852
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
about. l had tried great many remedies
but nothing bettered my condition until
began using Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver cure, which seemed 10 help me
right away, and feel as we'll as l ever
have In my life. 1t is blessing to people
IN this malarious country.

This grand remedy has proven its power
In innumerable cases, and is to-day more
extensively used in malarial districts,
whether n cities or in the country, than
any or all other remedies for the cure Of
the same class of disease. No one can
afford to triie with the first symptoms of
malaria, but instant care should be taken
10 check it on the start before It's evil In
duences overshadow the life.
