WHY NOT CALL IT BY IT'S RIGHT NAME ?

Many strong well-bullt man leaves

This is the way tho dreaded pneumonia
takes people off. The list of notable
men who are its victims is appalling!

men than women, more among the ap-
parently healthy than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, We are told, is invited by
certain condition of the system. indi-
Gated if one has occasional chills and
fevers, tendency to colds in tho throat
and lungs, rheumatic aud neuralgia pains,
extreme tired feelings, short breath and
pleuritic stitches in the side. loss of
appetite, backache, nervous unrest,
scalding sensations, or scant and dis
colored fluids, heart futterings, sour
stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs,
hot and dry skin, loss of strength and
virility. These indications may not ap-
pear together, they may come, disappear
and reappear for years, the person not
realizing that they are natures warnings
Iof coming calamity.
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim az victim the persons having such
symptoms, some less pronounced but
more fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told
the Tribune, year ago, that pneumonia
, was secondary disorder, tho exposure
and cold being simply the agent which
develops the disease, already dormant in
the system, because the kidneys have
been but partially doing their duty. In
short, pneumonia is but au early indica
ton of bright's disease condition. This
impaired action may exist for years with
out the patient suspecting it because no
pain will be felt in the kidneys or their
vicinity and often it can be detected only
by chemical and microscopical examina-
tons.
Nearly $50 of the TAO deaths in New
York city the first week in March aud in
six weeks ISL deaths were caused by
pneumonia!
The disease is very obstinate, and if
the accompanying kidney disorder is
very far advanced, recovery is impossi-
BILE, for the kidneys give out entirely,
and the patient is literally suffocated by
water
The only safeguard against pm eumonia
Is to maintain vigorous condition of
the system, and thus prevent it's attacks,
by using whatever will radically and eff
fectually restore full vitality to the kid
neys, for if they are not sound, pneu
monia cannot be prevented. For this
purpose. there Is nothing equal to War
ner's safe cure, remedy known to mil
lions, used probably by hundreds of
thousands and commended as a standard
specific wherever Known and used. II
does not pretend to cure an attack of
pneumonia, but it does and can remove
the cause of and prevent that disease il
taken in time. No reasonable man can
doubt this il he regards the personal
experience of thousands of honorable
men worthy his favor.
When physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia, he
confesses his inability to cure, and in a
measure he considers his responsibility
ended. In many instances, indeed, Der
aons are reported as dying of pneumonia,
heart disease apoplexy and commissions,
when the real cause of death and so
known by the physician is this kidney
consumption. Thousands of peopls have
it without knowing it and perish of il
because their physicians will not tell
them the facts! The same fate awaits
every one who will not exercise his iudg
ment in such matter and be true to
himself, his family and to society.
