A Plan to Successfully Combat a Dis.
ease that Defies Analysis

The once accepted theory that malaris
fiouI uIished Only in wet, swampy local..
ties and followed the clearing of large
tracts of land, is no longer tenable, as
the majority Of its victims are now
numbered among the inhabitants OF
cities and long established settlements.
But laying aside all question of theory
We come face to face with the vital
question, what is malaria? and how il
1t to be successfully vanquished? To
the first enquiry We reply, mai aria
bad air from which the word il de
rived, explains its character exactly.
But air taken in the lungs and dissem-
mated through the blood, poisons the
entire system. and typhoid fever, NAL
aria fever, diphtheria and other danger
Gus diseases follow. Equally bad effects
result from contaminated water, bad
drainage, or continued over-exertiOn, a.
they all cause loss of nerve life. the es>
sence Of physical well being.
Malaria poison canDot be detected by
chemical tests, and is only known by
its effects upon the system.
One of the worst cases of malaria was
that Of Mrs. G. +. BOshen, 81 Fifth ST.,
Troy, n. Y. Her experience, of great
value, is given, that others may receive
like benefit. She suffered not only
from malaria, her complexion being
saffron hue, but also from enlargement
of the liver. Her appetite was raven
Gus, especially for acids. 'One day,J
says Mrs. Bosben, "my pl ysicisn asked
for sample of fluid for chemical ana.
ly sis. was then passing ounces a
day, which he reported as very bad
and that he could do no more for me.
as had all the indications of brigbrs

my complexion is good, and NO one

normal, my bowels greatly improved.
My headaches and all dizziness have
disappeared" The case of William
Wallace Lounsbury, OF Dds Lake st.
Chicago, ILL.,, il another remarkable
one. He says: ain addition to being

my digestion was very poor, and suf-
fered almost continually with severe
pains in my bowels. Finally, l became

cluded to take my wife's advice and try

helped me, and after taking six bottles,
with safe pills, I WAS cured entirely of

From the above 1t Will be observed
that malaria has no certain localities
for its own, but turks wherever bad air
and water predominant. The only sure
method to counteract its poisonous eff
sect is to check its first development.
