UNEXPECTEDLY dies A gentleman in
Albany goes to his physician one morn
ing stating that he feels strangely un-
comfortable, is examined, advised at
one to settle up his affairs, does so and
dies before night
Everyone breads this prevalent dis
oder. Its coming is sudden, its termi-
nation usually speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge?
II is mot in the air, INFECTIOUS or
contagious. II results from exposure,
changes of weather, prevails more
among men than women, more among
the apparently healthy than among the
feeble.
Pneumonia, we are told, Is Invited by
a certain condition Of the system, iDdi-
Gated if one has occasional chills aud
fevers, "a tendency to colds in the throat
and lungs, rheumatic and neuralgia
pains, extreme tired feelings, short
breath and pleuritic stitches in the
side, loss of appetite, backache, nervous
unrest, scalding sensations, or scant
and discolored fluids, heart flutter;ngs,
sour stomach, distressed look, puffy eye
sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of strength
and virility. These indications may
not appear together, they mag come,
disappear and reappear for years, the
person not realizing that they are
natures warnings Of coming calami-
ty.
In other words, if pneumonia does
not claim as 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 pneu-
monia was secondary disorder, the
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 an early indication Of bright's
diseased condition. This impaired
action may exist for years without the
patient suspecting II because no pain
will be felt in the kidneys or their
vicinity, and often il can be detected
only by chemical and microscOpical
examinations.
Nearly $50 of the 40 deaths in New
York city the first week in March and
In six weeks 7Sl deaths were caused by
pneumonia!
The disease is very obstinate, and il
the accompanying kidney disorder is
very far advanced, recovery is impos-
sible, tor the kidneys give out entirely,
and the patient is literally suffocated
10y water
The only safeguard against pneumon-
ia IL to maintain vigorous condition OF
the system, and thus prevent its attacks
by using whatever will radically and
,fiectually restore full vitality to the
kidneys, for if they are not sound, pneu-
monis cannot be prevented. For this
purpose, there is nothing equal to
Warmers safe cure, IA remedy known to
millions, Used probably by hundreds of
thousands and commended as a stand,
ard specific wherever known aud used.
1t does not pretend to cure All attack OF
pneumonia, but it does and can remove
the cause Of aud prevent that disease II
taken in time. No reasonable man can
doubt this if he regards the personal
experience of thousands Of honorable
men worthy his favor.
When u physician Gays his patient
has either bright's disease or pneumon-
ia, he confesses his inability to cure,
and in measure he considers his
responsibility ended. In many in
stances, indeed, persons are reported as
dying of pneumonia, heart disesse, APP
oplexy and yulsions, when the real
cause of death, and 80 known 10y the
physician, Is this kidney consumption.
Thousa nds of people have it without
knowing it and perish of 1t because
their physicians will not tell them the
who will not exercise his judgment in
such a matter and be true to himself,
his family and to society.-Netc York
