Many a strong, well built man leaves
home to-day; before night he win have
a chill, and in few hours win be
deadl
This is the way the dreaded pneumo-
MIA takes people of.
The list of notable men who are it's
victims are appalling.
1t sweeps over the land like
sconrge, and destroys poor and rich
alike
Everyone breads it. It's coming Is
sudden, its termination usually speedy.
What causes itg
Pneumonia, we are told, Is invited
by certain condition of the system,
indicated IL one has occasional chills
and fevers, tendency TO cold In the
throat and lungs, rheumatic and neu-
ralgic pains, extreme tired feelings,
short breath and pleuritic stitches in
the side. loss of appetite, backache,
nervous unrest. scalding sensations. or
scant and disco.ored fluids. heart fiut-
terings, sour stomach, distressed look,
puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss
of strength and virility.
These indications may not appear
together, they may come, disappear
and re-appear for years, the person not
realizing that they are natures warn
ing OF coming calamity.
In other words, II pneumonia does
not claim as a victim the persons hay
ing such symptoms some less sudden
but quite as fatal malady certainly
will.
A celebrated New York physician
told the Tribune that pneumonia was
a secondary disorder, the exposure and
cold being simply the agent which de-
vel ps the disease, already dormant in
the system, because the kidneys have
but partially done their duty. In short
pneumonia Is but an early indication
of Bright's diseased condition. This
impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspecting It be-
cause no pain will be felt in the kid
neys or their vicinity and often 1t can
be detected only by chemical and mic
roscopical observations.
Nearly $50 of the 740 deaths In
New York city the first week in April
land in six weeks 781 deaths) wero
caused by pneumonia
The disease is very obstinate, and
IL the accompanying kidney disorder
is very far advanced recovery is inn
possible, for the kidneys give out en-
tirely, and the patient is literally suf-
located by water.
The only safeguard against pneu-
monia is to maintain vigorous con-
ditition of the system. and thus preUent
Its attacks, by using whatever will radl-
cally and effectually restore full vital
ity to 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. II does not pretend
to cure an attack Of pneumonia. but
It does remoUe the cause Of and pre-
cent that disease If taken ia time. No
reasonable man can doubt that IL he
regards the personal experience of
honorable men.
When physician says his patient
has either brigbt's disease or pneu-
monia. he confesses his inability to
cure, and in a measure he considers
his responsibility ended. In many in
stances, indeed, persons 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 consump-
ton. Thousands Of people have 1t
without knowing II and perish Of 1t
because physicians will not tell them
the factsl The same fate awaits every
one who will not exercise his judgment
In such q matter.
