iOus. 1t results from exposure, changes OF

Pneumonia, we are told is invited By eer-
tain condition Of the system, indicated if one
has occasional chills and fevers. a tendency TO
colds IN the throat and lungs rheumatic and
neuralgia pains, extreme tired feelings short
breath and pleuritc stitches in the side, loss of
appetite, backache, nervous unrest, scaIdino
sensations, or scant and discolOred fluids. heart
Hutterlngs, sour stomach, distressed look puffy
eye sacs, hot aud dry skin. loss of strength and
yirlity. These indications NAV not appear
together, they may come disappear and reap
pear for years, the person not realizing that
they are natures warnings of coming calam-
ity.
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 pneumonia was a sec
ondary 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 in
dicatinn of a brights diseased condition. This
impaired action may exist for years without
the patient suspecting it, because no pain will
be felt IN the kidneys or their vicinity, and
often 1t can be detected only by chemical and
nicruscopical 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, and if the ac-
companying kidney disorder is very far ad-
yanced, recovery is impossible, for the kidneys
give out entirely. and the patient is literally
SufOcated by water
The only safeguard against pneumonia is to
maintain vigorous condition of the system,
and thus prevent its attacks, by using what
ever Will radically and effectually restore full
vitality 10 the kidneys, for if they are not
sound, pneumonia cannot be prevented. For
this purpose there is nothing equal to Warmers
safe cure. a remedy known to millions, used
probably by hundreds Of thousands and COM
mended as standard specific wherever known
and used 1t does not pretend to cure an at
tack 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 IL
he regards the personal experience Of thousands
of honorable men worthy of favor.
When physician says his patient has either
brights disease or pneumonia, he cOnfesses his
inability TO cure and in measure be considers
his responsibility ended. In many instances,
indeed. persons are reported as dying of pneu-
mOnia, heart disease apoplcxy and cOnyul-
sions, when the real cause of death, and so
known by the physician, is this kidney con-
sumption. Thousands of people have it with
ou; knowing it and perish of it because their
physicians will not tell them the facts. The
same fate awaits every one vino will not exer-
else his Judgment in such matter and be true
to himself, his family and to society.
