PNEUMONIA"
Why not Call this Terrible Scourge by
its Rightful Name?

(Ee,c York Telegraut)
MANY a strong, well.built man leaves
! home to-day; before night he will have
/ a chill and in few hours will be dead
This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people off.
! The list of notable men who are its vic
tins is appalling.
1t sweeps over the land like scourge
and DESTROYS poor and rich alike.
| Everyone breads it. Its coming is sud
/ dea, Its termination usually speedy.
| What causes it?
Pneumonia, we are told, Il invited by
q certain condition OF the system, in
Dictated if one has occasional chills and
ievers, tendency to cold in the throat
and lungs, rheumatic and neuralgia
pains, extreme tired feelings, short
breath and pleuritic stitches in the side,
loss OF appetite, backache, nervous I'M
rest, scalding sensations, or scant and
dscolored fluids, heart futterings, sour
stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs,
hot and dry skin, loss OF strength and
vlrility.
These indications may not appear to-
gether, they may come, disappear and
reappear for years, the person not realiz-

coming calamity.
In other words, If pneumonia does not
claim as a victim the persons having
such symptoms some less sudden but
quite as fatal mslady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told
the Tribune that pneumonia was a secOn-
Diary disorder, the exposure and cold
being simply the agent which develops
the disease, already dormant in the sys
tenn, because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short,
pneumonia is but an early indication of
a brights diseased condition. This i'm
paired action may exist for years with
out 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 miCroscopical observa-
tons
Nearly 80 OF the 740 deaths in New
York City the first week in April land
in six weeks ISL deaths( were caused by
pneumonia!
The disease is very obstinate, and if
the accompanying kidney disorder is
very far advanced, recovery is impos-
sible, for the kidneys give out entirely,
and the patient is literally sufocated by
water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia
IL to maintain a vigorous condition of
the system, and thus prevent its attacks,
by using whatever will radically and
restore full vitality to the
kidneys, for if they are not sound, pneu-
n1onia cannot be prevented. For this pur-
pose there is nothing equal to Warmers
safe cure, remedy known to millions,
used probably by hundreds of thousands
and commended as a standard specific
wherever known and used 1t does not
pretend to cure an attack OF pneumonia,
but it does remore the cause Of and preuent
that disease if taken in time. No reason
able man can doubt this if he regards
the personal experience of thousands Of
honorable men.
When physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia he
confesses 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,
heart disease, apoplexy and commissions,
when the real cause of death and SO
known by the physician is this kidney
consumption. Thousands Of people have
it without knowing it and perish of it
because their physicians will not tell
them the facts The same fate awaits
every one who will not exercise his judg-
nent in such a matter. --- ----
