This Is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people of.
The list Of notable men who are it, VIC
Tins il appalling.
It sweeps over the land like . scourge
and destroys poor and rich alike.
Every one breads it Its coming Is sud-
den, its Termination usually speedy.
What causes it,
Pneumonia, we are told, Il invited by .
certain condition Of the system, indicated II
ono has occasional chills and levers, ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme tafod
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in the side, loss of appetite, back ache,
nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or
scant and discolored fluids, heart flutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, pudy
eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss Of strength
and vitality.
These indications may not appear to-
gether, they may come, disappear and re-
appear for years, the person not realizing
that they are natures warning Of Q coming
calamity In other words, II pneumonia
does not claim as q victim the persons hav-
ing such symptoms some less sudden but
quite as fatal malady certainly win.
A celebrated New York physician told the
Tribune that pneumonia was . secondary
disorder, the exposure and cold being simp-
ly the agent which develops the disease, al
ready dormant in the system, because the
kidneys have been but partially doing 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 because
no pain will be felt in the kidneys or their
vicinity and often it can be detected only
by chemical and microscopical OBSERVE
tons.
Nearly $50 Of the 40 deaths in New York
city the first week in April land In six
weeks 7S1 deaths) were caused by pneu-
monial
The disease is very obstinate, and If the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced, recovery is impossible, for the
literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia Is
to maintain a vigorous condition of the sys-
whatever will radically and effectually re-
store full vitality to the kidneys, for, II they
are not sound, pnexnsonia cannot be prevented.
For this purpose there is nothing to equal
Warmers safe cure, remedy known to
millions, used probably by hundreds Of
thousands and commended as q standard
specific wherever known and used. It does
not pretend to cure an attack Of pneu-
monia, but it does rensovs the cause Of and pre-
cent that disease if taken in time. No reasona-
BILE man can doubt this if he regards the
personal experience Of thousands Of honor
able men.
When a physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia he con.
fesses his inability to cure, and in ameasure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are report
ed as dying of pneumonia, heart disease,
apoplexy and commissions, when the real
cause Of death and so known by the physi-
clan is the 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
judgment in such matter.
