How Ii 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 trescherous
In its nature and so dangerous in its re-
suits SIS to Justly cause apprehension wher-
ever ii has appeared. But there are so
many erroneous ideas upon the subject
that few words are in order at this time
when people are subject to mslsrial in
haences.
Malaria, which simply means bad air,
Is the common name for class of diseases
which arise from spores OF deeaying veg
etsble matter, thrown of from stagaant
pools or piles of vegetation undergoing
accommodation. These spores when in
hailed with the breath or taken into the
system with water soon enter the blood
and terminating there md a foothold
whereby the whole system is poisoned and
the various functions disordered. When
the germ theory Of disease was first a6-
vanced IL was supposed that these spores
were of animal nature, and like the BAG
terra in dlphiheria 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 stasnaut pools, which, partial
~ dried BY the hot sun, send forth vapors
loaded with malarial poison. 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 10 be afflicted with
chilis and fever, and such localities are
never healthy, though they are more so

pure, and also when the water is high.
Again the drainage of houses, slaughter
houses, barns, etc, are a fertile source OF
malaria. Oae will often notice in COM
ing into the neighborhood of one of these
sluggish streams that pass through almost
every village a most yillainous 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 a time
of drouth the great quantity OF vegetation
that dries Np in the meadows. stubble
fields and pastures, the corn fields and
forest leaves produces the same ettl uvia.
On the prairies when large tracts OF prai-
RE ground are turned over, the decaying
vegetation is a widespread cause of ma
laria.
Tho evils which follow mslarial poison
ing are almost Infinite. Disease of 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 malarial
poisoning are loss of appetite, shortness OF
bre ith, pains about the heart, wasting of
flesh and strength. dependency, nervous
ness, chilly sensa ions, unaccountable las
situde, dull pains in various parts of the
body, headaches, dizziness, 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 NAV be an in
dication of malariai poison in the body
which necessitates immediate and C reful
attention.
But if malarial poison could not find
Judgement in the human body. il would
be Just as 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 a most dangerous
character There is only one known way
by which these diseases may be avoided or
cured after they have OF &c made their A.
pearance, and that is by keeping the great
purifying organs Of the body ia perfect
health. These organs are the kidneys
and liver. No one whose kidneys or liver
are in perfect condition was ever afhict-
ed by malarial poison. And when these
organs are disordered, they not only per-
nit, but invite these diseases TO make
their iproads 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 power 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
nel' = Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
the most popular medicine before the
American people and sold by every drug
gist III the land. 1t fully counteracts the
evil effects of malarial poison in the sys-
tenn, and not only hanishes 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 20, 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. l 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 we'll az | ever
have in my life. 1t is blessing to peo-
pie in this malarious country.

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 or all other remedies for the cure of
the same class of disease. No one can af
ford to trife with the first symptoms of
malaria, but instant care should be taken
t check it on the start before its evil in
fuences overs hadow the life
