INVISIBLE POISON.
How it Works It's Way Into tho Body
and How to Countoract II.

htu HOW TO NONihltcraCt
Ono 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 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 nt q
time when people are subject to malarial in
fluenccs.
Malaria, which means simply bad air, is the
common name of u class of diseases which
arise from spores of dccaying vegetable matter,
thrown off from stagnant pools or piles of
vegetation undergoing decomposition. These
spores when inhaled with the breath or taken
INTO the system with water soon enter the
blood and terminating there find foothod,
whereby the whole system is poisoned and
the various functions disordercd. When the
germ theory of disease was first advanced it
was supposed that these spores were of animal
nature, and like the bacteria in diphtheria
were propagatcd in the blood, but they are
now conceived to be of vegetable origin, like
the fungi found on decaying wood or in cell
lars The source of this state of air is gcner-
ally swamps or stagnant pools, which, par
TALLY dried by the hot sun, send forth vapors
loaded with this maarial poison. These va
pors descend to the earth in the night, cooled
by the loss of temperature and brcathed by
slecpers are readily inhaled. Hence persons
living near stagnant pools or marshes are liza
bic TO to be afflicted with chlls and fever, and
such localities are never healthy, though they
are moro so when the streams flowing into
them arc pure, and also when the water is
high. Again, the drainage of houses, slaughter
| houses, barns &C., arc fertile source of ma
| laria. Ono will often notice in coming into
| the ncighborhood of ono of these sluggish
streams that pass through almost every vii
| lage, most vllainous smell caused by the of
| fcnsive refuse, which communicates its bad
odor to the atmosphere, especially on hot days.
This absorbed into the system by the lungs or
| taken i'll through water, which also absOrbs il
| from the air, pOisOns the blood and derangCs
the whole system. This poison is also de-
| veloped 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 drought the great quantity
Of vegetation that dries up in the meadows,
stubblo fields, and pastures, the corn fields and
| forest leaves produces the same eilluvia, On
the prairies when large tracts of prairie
ground are turned over, the dccaying vegeta-
tion is q widespread cause of malaria.
The evils which follow malarial poisoning
are almost infinite. Disease of malignant
and dangerous nature accompanied by symp-
toms the most distressngarc certain to mani
TEST themselves and life is u burden so long as
| this poison remains in the system. The in
dications of malarial poisoning arc loss of ap-
petite, shortness of breath, pains about the
heart wasting of flesh and strength, despond-
cncy, nervousness, chilly sensations, unac-
countable lassitudc, dull pains in various parts
of the body, headaches, dizziness, II coated
| tongue and dry mouth, night swcats, muscu-
| lar debility, pulling under the eyes, an un-
usual color, oder or sediment about the fluids
passed from the system, &c. Any one of the
above symptoms may he an indication of ma
larial poison in the body which necessitates
immediate and careful attention.
But if malarial poison could not find lodg-
ment in the human body, it would be just as
| harmless as the oxygen of the air. The great
difficulty is that, after being absorbed into the
| system, it produces distractions in tho stom-
ach and lungs, clogs the circulation of the
blood, affects the kidneys, liver, and other Or
gans, and brings on diseases of a most danger
Gus character. There is only one known way
by which these diseases may be avoided or
cured after they have once made their appear
ance, and that is by keeping the great purify
| ing organs of the body in perfect health.
These organs are the kidneys and liver. No
one whose kidneys or liver are in perfect con-
dition was ever afflicted with 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 ad-
mitted by physicians, scientists and the ma
| jority 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 aud liver in constant health and
hence prevents malarial sickness. This
remedy is Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure the most popular medicint before the
American people, and sold by every druggist
in the land. 1t fully counteracts the evil eff
feet of maarial poison in the system, and not
only banishes it, but restores the members
which that poison has weakened. How well
it does this can be learned from the following
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 26, 1SS2.-Mov-
ing 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 n
great many remedies but nothing bettered
my condition until l began using Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which seemed
to help me right away, and feel rs well as
i ever have in my life. 1t is blessing to
people in this malarious country.

This great remedy has proven its power in
innumerabe cases, and iB to-day more extern
sively 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 dis
