Many strong, woll-buit man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have a
chill and IN fow hours he will bo dead
This 10 the way tho dreaded pneumonia
takes people oil. The list of notable men
who arc It's victims is appalling
Dr. Damrosch, tho famous musician, Is
seized by n chill while conductiue re.
hearshal next day his physicians tell us
he is doing iceU. Next day he is dead
The Rev. j. f. Latimer, d. d., S. L. D.,
Dean of Boston University Theological
School, breaches eloquently one morning,
has slight chilliness thereafter, feels un-
well for few days, aud unexpectedly
dies A gentleman in Albany goes to his
physician ono morning stating that he
feels strangely uncomfortable, is oxam-
ined, advised at once to settle up his af
fairs, does go and dies before night
Everyone breads this prevalent disorder.
Its coming is sudden, its termination
usually speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge9
1t Is not "in the air'-infcctious or con-
tagious. 1t results from exposure, changes
of weather, prevails moro among men than
women, moro among tho apparently
healthy than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, we are told Is invited by q
certain condition of tho system, indicated
If one has occasional chills aud fevers,
tendency to colds in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic and neuTalgic pains, extreme
tired feelings, short breath and pleuritic
stitches in tho'side, loss of appetite, back
ache, nervous unrest, scalding sensations,
or sCant and dscolored fluids, heart ilutter-
ipgs, sour stomach, distressed look puffy
eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss Of strength
and virility. These indications may not
appear together, they may como, disappear
and reappear for years, tho person not
realizing that they arc natures warnings of
coming calamity.
In other words, IL pneumonia does not
claim as victim the persons having such
Symphonic, some less pronounced but more
fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told
the IriJUae,a a year ago, that pneumonia
was secondary disorder, the exposure aud
cold being simply the agent which devel-
ops tho disease already dormant in the sys-
TEN, because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short, pneu-
monia is but an carly indication Of a
Brights diseased condition. This impaired
action may exist for years without tho pa
tient suspecting IL, because no pain will be
felt in the kidneys or their vicinity and
often it can be detected only by chemical
and microscopical examinations.
Nearly 100 of the 7l0 deaths in New
York city the first week in March, and in
six weeks 761 deaths were caused by pneu-
monia
The disease is very obstinate, and if the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced, recovery is impossible, for tho
kidneys give out entirely, aud the patient
Is literally suirocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to maintain vigorous condition OF the sys-
TEN and thus prevent its attacks by using
whatever will radically and ehectually re-
store full vitality to the kidneys, for il they
are not sound pneumonia cannot be pre-
vented. For this purpose there is nothing
equal to Warmers Safe Cure remedy
known to millions, used probably by hun
dreds of thousands and commended as a
standard specific wherever known and used.
1t does not pretend to cure an attack of
pneumonia, but it does and can remove the
cause of and prevent that disease If taken
in time. No reasonable man can doubt this
If ho regards the personal experience of
Thousands Of honorable men worthy his
favor.
When a physician says his patient has
either Bright's disease or pneumonia, he
c0nfesses his inability to cure, and in n
measure he considers his responsibility
ended. In many instances, indeed per-
sons 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 consump
tion. Thousands of people have it without
knowing it and perish of 1t because their
physicians will not tell them the facts.
The same fate awaits everyone who will
not exercise his Judgment In such n matter
and be true to himself his family and to
society.
