PNEUMONIA"
why Not Call It by It's Right Name !

(NeO York Tsicgrdm)
Many n strong well-built man leaves
home to-day, before night he will have n
chill, and in fow hours he will be dead
This is tho way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people of. The list Of notable men
who are its victims 10 appalling
DR.. Damrosch, the famous musician, Is
seized by q chill while conducting re-
hearsal; noxt day his physicians tell us
he is doing ireN. Next day ho is dead
Rev. j. Il. Lattimer, d. d., S. Il. d.,
dean Of Boston university theological
school, breaches eloquently ono morning,
has slight chilliness thereafter, feels un-
we'll for n few days, aud unexpectedly dies!
A gentlemen In Albany goes to his ply
sician one morning stating that he feels
strangely uncomfortable, is examined ad-
vised at once to settle up his affairs, does
so and dies before night
Everyone breads this prevalent disor-
der. Its coming is sudden, its termina-
tion usually speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge2
1t is not "in the air "--infectious or
contagious. IL results from exposure,
| changes Of weather, prevails more among
men than women, more among the APP
parently healthy than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, wo are told, is invited by
n certain condition Of the system, indi-
Gated If ono has occasional chills and
| fevcrs, q tendency to colds in the throat
and lungs. rheumatic ana neuralgia pains,
extreme tired feelings, short breath and
pleuritic stitches in tho sido loss Of APP
petite, backaohe, nervous unrest, scald-
ing sensations, or scant and discolored
fluids, heart 1utterings, sour stomach,
distressed look, puty eye sacs, hot and
dry skin, loss of strength and virility.
These indications may not appear to-
gether, they may como, disappear, and
rcappear for years, the person not real
izing that they aro natures warnings of
n coming calamity.
In other words, IL pneumonia does not
claim as victim the persons having such
symptoms, somo less pronounced but
more fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told
tho Tribune. year ago, that pneumonia
was secondary disorder, the exposure
and cold being simply tho agent whic h
develops tho disease, already dormant in
tho system, because the kidneys have
been but partially doing their duty. In
short, pneumonia is but an carly indica-
ton of Bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may cxist for years
without the patient suspecting 1t, because
no pain will be ielt in the kidneys or
their vicinity, and often 1t can be de.
tected only by chemical and microscopical
examinations.
Nearly 100 of the 7iO 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 If the
accompanying kidney disorder is very
far advanced recovery is impossible, fol
the kidneys give out entirely, and the
patient is literally sutfocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia
Is to maintain a vigorous condition of the
system, and thus prevent its attacks, by
using whatever will radically and effect
ually restore full vitality to the kidneys
