In other words, if pneumonia does not

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 system, because the kidneys have
been but partially doing their duty. In
snort, pneumonia is but an early indica-
| ton 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 mierOscopical examina-
| tiOns.
Nearly $50 of the 74O deaths in New
York city the first week in March and in
six weeks 7SI deaths were caused by
| pneumonia,
The disease is very obstinate, and if the
accompanying kidney disorder is verv far
advanced recovery is impossible, for the
| kidneys give out entirely, and the patient
| is literally sutfOcated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia
is to maintain vigorous condition of the
system, and thus prevent its attacks, by
using whatever will radically and ehec-
tually restore full vitality to the kidneys,
for if they are not sound, pneumonia can
not 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 commend
ed as a standard specific wherever known
and used. 1t does not pretend to cure an
| attack OF pneumonia, bat 1t does and can
| remove the cause of and prevent that dis
ease If taken in time. No reasonable man
can doubt this if he regards the personal
experience of thousands of honorable
men worthy his favor.
/ When physician saws his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia, he
oontesses his inability to cure, and in a
measure he considers his responsibility
ended. In many instances, indeed, per-
sons are reported as dying of pneumonia.

when the real cause of death and SO
known by the physician is this kidney
consumption. Thousands Of people have
1t without knowing it and perish OF it be-
cause their physicians will not tell them
the facts! The same fate awaits every
one who Will not exercise his Judgment in
such matter and be true to himself. his
family and to society.
