INVISIBLE POISON.
no" 1t Works It's Way Into the Body and
How to Counterfeit 1t.

one Of the great scourges OF the presen'
year In all parts of America has been malaria.
lhls is trouble so treacherous in its natur,
ana SO dangerous in its results as to justly
cause appreh ension wherever it has appeared
buI There are SO many erroneous ideas upon
the subject that few words are in order at
time when people are subject to malarial i'll
1uences.
Malaria, which means simply bad air, is the
common name Of a class of diseases which
arise from spores of decaying vegetable mat
Ter, thrown oil from staguant pools or piles
vegetation undergoing decomposition. Thest
spores when Inhaled with the breath or takel
llIo the system with water soon enter tn
ploou and terminating there find toothold
WHEREBY the whole system is poisoned and thu
various functions disOrdered. When tn,
germ theory of disease was first advanced
was supposed that these spores were of an
MAJ nature, and like the bacteria in diphther
were propagated in the blood, but they al
no" conceived to be of vegetable origin, lik
tne lungi found on decaying wood or in Gel
lars. The source of this state Of the air il
generally swamps or stagnant pools, which
partially dried by the hot sun, send forth va
porS loaded with this malarial poison. Thest
| Vapors descend to the earth in the nigh
cooled by the loss Of temperature, and Breathe
Dy sleepers are readily inhaled. Hence per
sons living near staguant pools or marshes ar,
hable to be afflicted with chills and fever, aut
sucn localities are never healthy, though they
are more SO when the streams flowing int
them are pure, and also when the water l.
| high. Again the drainage of houses, slaugh-
teT-houses, barns, etc, are a fertile source O.
| malaria One Will often notice in CONT g
| into the neighborhood of one of these sluggish
| streams that pass through almost every villag,
| a most Ylhainous smell caused by the often
| sive refuse which communicates its bad odoi
| to the atmosphere, especially on hot days.
| This absorbed into the system by the lungs or
| taken in through water, which also absorbs it
| from the air, poisons the blood and derangCs
the whole system. This poison is also devel-
! oped 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 o.
| vegetation that dries up in the meadows,
| stubble fields and pastures, the corn fields and
forest leaves produces the same etliuvia. On
! the prairies when large tracts of prairie ground
| are turned over, the decaying vegetation is q
widespread cause of malaria.
The evils which follow malaral poisonin
are almost infinite. Disease of a malignant
and dangerous nature, accompanied by symp
| toms the most distressing are certain to mani
fest themselves and life is burden 80 long as
this poison remains in the system. The ind
cations of malarial poisoning are loss of appe
| tite, shortness of breath, pains about The
heart, wasting of flesh and strength, despoud
ency nervousness, chilly sensations, unac
countable lassitude, dull pains in various
parts of the body, headaches, dizziness,
coated tongue and dry mouth, night sweats
muscular debility, pulling under the eyes, al
| unusual color, ordor or sediment about the
fluids passed from the system, etc. ANY ont
OF the above symptoms may be an indication
of malarlal poison in the body which necessi
tates immediate and careful attention.
But if malaral loisOn could not find lodge
| ment in the human body, it would be just al
| harmless as the oxygen of the air. The grea
| difficulty is that after being absorbed int
the system, it produces distractions in tn
stomach and lungs, clogs the circulation o
the blood, affects the kidneys, liver and othe
| organs, and brings on diseases of most dan
gerous character. There is only one know
| way by which these diseases may be avoided
| or cured after they have once made their APP
pearance, and that is by keeping the grca
purifying organs of the body in perfect health
| These organs are the kidneys and liver. NJ
one whose kidneys or liver are in d perfec
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. !
is now admitted by physicians, scientists an
the majority of the general public that on
medicine, and only one whose power has bee
and keeps the kidneys and liver in constan
health and hence prevents malarial sickness
This remedy is Warmers Safe Kidney and Live
Cure, the most popular medicine before tn
American people, and sold by every druggis
in the land. 1t fully cOunteracts the evi
effect of malarial poison in the system, an
not only banishes it, but restores the member
which that poison has weakened. How well i
does this C be learned from the following
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June &c, 1SS2.-Movin
from the State of New York to the Wester
country, was attacke with malaria and gen
eral debility. l had lost all appetite and W.
hardly able to move about. ! had tried
great many remedies, but nothing bettere
my condition until | began using Warner
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which seemed t.
help me right away, and feel well as | eve

This great remedy has proven its power i
innumerabe cases, and is to-day more eXtet
sively used in malarial districts, whether i
cities or in the country, than any or all othc
remedies for the cure OF the same class OF dis
ease. No one can afford to trife with the frs
symptoms Of malaria, but instant care shout
be taken to check it on the start before it
