why Not call 1t BY It's Right Names

from the New York telegram
Many a strong, well-built man leaves home
to-day, before night he will have chill, and
in few hours he will be deadl This is the
way the dreaded pneumonia takes people off.
The list of notable men who are its victims
is appallingl
Dr.. Damrosch, the famous musician, is
seized by chill while conducting rehearsal;
next day his physicians tell us he is doing
well. Next day he is dead
The Rev J. E. Latimer, d. d., S. T. D.,
dean of Boston university theological school,
breaches eloquently one morning, has slight
chilliness thereafter, feels unwen fer few
days, and unexpectedly dies A gentleman
in Albany goes to his physician one morning
stating that he feels strangely uncomfortable,
is examined, advised at once to settle up his
affairs. does 80 and dies before night!
Everyone breads this prevalent disorder.
It's coming is sudden, its termination usually
speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge?
It is not Sin the air, ''-infectious or con-
tagious It results from exposure, changes
of weather, prevails more among men than
women, more among the apparently healthy
than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by q
certain condition of the system, indicated if
one has occasional chills and feyers, a ten
dency to colds in the throat and lungs, rhsu-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in the side, loss of appetite, backache, ner
vous unrest, scalding sensations, or scant and
discelored fluids, heart futterings, sour sto-
nlach distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot
and dry skin, loss of strength and virility.
These indications may not appear together,
fhav nd
years, the person not realizing that they are
natures warnings of coming calamity.
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim 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
secondary disorder, the exposure and cold
being simply the agent which develops the
disease, already dormant in the system, be-
cause the kidneys have been but partially do
ing their duty. In short, pneumonia is but
early indication of a Bright's 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 it can be detected
only by chemical and microscopic examine
tons.
Nearly 100 of the 74O deaths in New York
city the first week in March and in six weeks
761 deaths were caused by pneumonia!
The disease is very obstinate, and if the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far adj
vanced, recovery is impossible, for the kid
neys give out entirely, and the patient is lit
orally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to- maintain vigorous condition of the sys-
tenn, and thus prevent it's attacks, by using
whatever will radically and effectually re-
store full vitality to the kidneys, for if 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 hundreds of
thousands and commended 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 he regards
the personal experience of thousands of hon
orable men worthy his favor.
When physician says his patient has 81
ther Bright's disease or pneumonia, he con-
fesses his inability to cure, and in measure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are reported
as dying of pneumonia, heart disease, apo
plexy and commissions, when the real cause
of death and 80 known by the physician is
this kidney consumption. Thousands of peo-
pie have it without knowing it and perish of
it because their physicians will not tell them
who win not exercise his judgment in such
manner and be true to himself, his family
and to society.
