How 1t Works Its Way Into the Body
and How to Counterfeit 1t.
One of the great scourges of the present
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 wher-
ever il has appeared. But there are so
many erroneous ideas upon the subject
that a few words are in order at this time
when people are subject to malarial in
fnences.
Malaria, which simply means bad air,
is the common name for class OF diseases
which arise from spores of decaying veg
etabie matter, thrown of from stagaant
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 md foothold
whereby the whole system Is poisoned and
The various functions disordered. When
the germ theory of disease was first adj
vaneed il was supposed that these spores
were of animal nature, and like the bac-
terra in diphlheria were propagated in the
blood, but they are now conceived to be
of vegetable origin, like the fungi found
on decayiDg wood or in cellars. The
source of this state of The air is generally
swamps or stagnaot pools, which, partial
ly dried by the hot sun, send forth vapors
loaded with maiarial poison. These
vapors descend 10 the earth in the night,
cooled by the loss of temperature, and
brealhed 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. 0ne will often notice in COM
ing into the neighborhood of one of these
sluggish streams that pass through almost
every village a most villainous smell
caused by the offensive refuse which m
municates its bad odor to the atmosphere,
especially on hot days. This absorb
ed into the system by the lungs or taken
in through water, which also absorbs it
from the air, poisons the blood and de-
ranges 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
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 eff uvia.
On the prairies when large tracts OF prai-
RE ground are turned over, the decsy'ng
vegetation ia a widespread cause of ma
laria.
Tho evils which follow malarial poison
ing are almost Infinite. Disease of a ma
lignant and dangerous nature, accompa-
MED by symptoms the most distressing are
certain to manifest themselves and life is
a burden SO long as this poison remains in
the system. The indications of malafial
poisoning are loss of appetite, shortness OF
breath, pains about the heart, wasting of
flesh and strength. dependency, nervous
ness, chilly sensai ions, uraccountable las
situde, dull pains in various parts of the
body, headaches, dizziness, coated
tongue ana 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
dieation of malarial poison in the body
which necessitates immediate and c. reful
attention.
But if malarial poison could not find
Judgement in the human body. it would
be lust SO harmless as the oxygen OF the
air. The great difficulty is that, after he
ing absorbed into the system, it produces
distractions in the stomach and lungs,
clogs the circulation of the blood, affects
the kidneys, liver and other organs, and
brings on disease of most dangerous
character. There is only one known way
by which these diseases may be avoided or
cured after they have oEce made their aE-
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 perfect condition was ever tiiict-
ed by malarial poison. And when these
organs are disordered, they not only per-
nit, but invite, these diseases 10 make
their inroads into the body. 1t is now adj
mitted by physicians, scientists and the
majority of the general public that one
medicine, and only one whose rower has
been tested and proven, has absolute con-
troll of, and keeps the kidneys and liver
in constant health and hence prevents
malarial sickness. This remedy is War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
the most popular medicine before the
American people and sold by every drug
gist In the land. 1t fully counteracts the
evil effects of malarial poison In the sys-
tenn, and not oaly banishes it, but restores
the members which that poison has weak
ened. How well it does this can be learn
ed from the following:
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, June 26, 1882 =
Having 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. | had tried great many RENE
dies, but nothing bettered my condition
until / began using Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, which seemed to help me
right away, and feel as well as ever
have in nv life 1t is blessing TO peo-
pie in this malarious country.

This great remedy has proven lie power
in innumerable cases, 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 af-
ford to tr, fe with the first symptoms of
malaria, but instant care should be taxen
to check it on the start before its evil in
fuences overshadow the life.
