"PNEUMONIA."


Many strong well built man leaves
home today, before night he will have
chill, and in few hours he will be
dead! This is the way the dreaded pneu-
monia takes people off. The list of
notable men who are it's victims is APP
pallng!
DR.. Damrosch, the famous musician,
is seized by chill while conducting re-
hearsal; next day his physicians tell us
he is doing sceU Next day he is dead!
The Rev. J. E. Latimer, ID. d., s. T.
d., dean of Boston university theologi-
cal school, breaches eloquently one NOM
ing, has a slight chilliness thereafter,
feels unwell for d few days, and unex-
pectedly dies. \ gentleman in Albany
goes to his physician one morning stat
ing that he feels strangely uncomfor-
table, is examined, advised at once to
settle up his affairs, does SO and dies be-
fore night.
Everyone breads this prevalent disor-
der. It's coming is sudden, its termina.
ton usually speedy.
WHAT causes the terribl scourge?
1t Is not lin the air, INFECTIOUS or
contagious. 1t results from exposure,
changes OF weather, prevails more among
men than women, more among the APP
parently healthy than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, we are told. is invited by
certain condition of the system. indi-
Gated ii one has occasional cnii.s and
fever, a tendency to colds in the throat
aud lungs, III sumatic and neural gic pains
extreme til ed feelings, short breath and
peugitic stitches in the side. loss of APP
petite, backache, ntrv jus unrest, scald-
ing sensations, OF scant aud discolored
fluids, heart tlutterngs, sour stomach,
distressed look, puffy eye sacs, Lot and
dry skin, loss Of strength and viriity.
These indications may not appear toge-
ther, they may come, disappear and re-
appear for years, the person not realiz-
ing that they are natures warnings of a
coming calamity.
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim as a vittim 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, the exposure
and cold being simply the agent which
develops the disease, already dormant in
the sy stem, because the kidneys have
been but partially doing their duty. In
short, pneumonia is but an early irdi-
cation of bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patiert suspecting it be-
cause no pain will De felt in the kidneys
or their vicinity and often it can be de.
tected only by chemical and micloscop-
ical examinations.
Nearly $50 of the 40 deaths in New
York city the first week in March and
in six weeks ISL deaths were caused by
pneumonia!
The disease is very obstinate, aAd if
the accompanying kidney disorder is
very far advanced, recovery is impos-
sible, for the kidneys give out entirely,
and the patient is literally suilocated 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 etfec-
tualiy restore full vitality to the kidneys
for if they are not sound, pneumonia
cannot be prevented For this purpose,
there is nothing equal to Warmers safe
cure, remedy known to millions, used
probably by hundreds of thousands and
commended as standard specific wher-
ever known and used. 1t does not pre-
tend 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 he
regards the personal experience of thous-
ands of honorable men worthy his favor.
