INVISIBLE POISON.
HOW 1T WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE BODY
AND HOW TO COUNTERPART 1T.

One of the great scourges OF the present
year In all parts OF America has been ma
laria. This Is q 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 n time when people
are subject TO malarial influences.
Malaria, which means simply bad air, Is
the common name of class Of diseases
which arise from spores OF deesyiDg vege'
table matter, thrown of from stagnant
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 hud foothold,
whereby the whole system Is poisoned aud
the various functions disordered. When
the germ theory of disease was first adj
vanced 1t was supposed that these spores
were OF animal nature, and like the bacte-
ria 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
In the sun, send forth vapors loaded with
this malarial poison. These vapors de-
scend 10 the earth In the night, cooled by
the loss OF temperature, and breathed by
sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence per-
sons living near stagnant pools or marshes
are liable to be afflicted with chills and fe-
yer, and snch localities are never healthy,
though they are more so when the streams
flowing into them are pure. and also when

houses, slaughter houses, barns, etc, are
n 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 10
the atmosphere, especially on hot days.
This absorbed into the system by the lung s
or taken In through water, which also ab-
serbs 1t from the air, poisops 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 s
breathing the poisonous air. In time Of
drouth the great quantity OF vegetation
that dries up In the meadows, slubble- |
fields and pastures, the coin-helds and for
EST leaves produces the same etiluvis. On
the praires when large tracts OF prairie |
ground are turned over, the decayng veg |
citation Is widespread cause Of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poison
ing are almost infinite. Disease OF ma
lignant and dangerous nature, accompanied
by symptoms the most distressing are GER !
tain TO manifest themselves and life :
burden so long as this poison remains In
al H.. l.,If
poisoning are loss OF appetite, shortness
OF breath, pains about the heart, wasting
OF flesh and strength, dependency, nerv-
business, chilly sensations, unaccountable
lassitude, dull pains In various parts OF the
body headaches, dizziness, a coated tongue
and dry mouth, night-sweats, muscular de.
bllity, pulling 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- au indication
OF malarisl poison in the body which ne
cessitates immediate aud careful attention.
But II malarial poison could not find
Judgement i'll the human body, 1t would be
just As harmless ~ the oxygen OF the air.
The great difficulty is that, after being alb
sorbed into the system, 1t produces OBJ
structions in the stomach and lungs, clogs

kidneys, liver and other organs, and brings
on diseases of most dangerous charac-
ter. There is only one known way by
which these diseases may be avoided or
cured after they have once made their APP
pearance, and that is by keeping the grea
purifying organs OF the body In perfect
health. These organs are the kidneys aud
liver. No one whose kidneys or liver are
in N nor f...t condition an t.1 ht
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
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 malarial sickness. This
remedy is Warmers Safe Kidney and liver
Cure, the most popular medicine before the
American people, and sold by every drug
gist in the land II fully counteracts the
evil effect OF malarial poisoning In the sys-
TEN, and not only banishes II, but restores
the members which that poison has weak
ened. How well IL does this can be learned
from the following:
KANSAS CITY, Mo. June 26, lsss.
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. / had
tried great many remedies. but nothing bet |
tered my condition until began using War
ners safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which seem |
ed TO help me right away. and feel as well as |
ever have In my life. IL Is a blessing TO peo- |
pie In this malarious country.

This great remedy has proven its power
in innumerable ceses, 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 trife with the first symptoms or
malaria, but instant care should be taken
TO check 1t on the start before its evil influ-
ences overshadow the life.
