" PNEUM ONlA."
why not Call this Terrible Scourge By
its Rightful Name.


Many q strong, well-built man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have q
chill and in few hours will be deadl
This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people on.
The list Of notable men who arc its vic
Tins is appalling.
1t 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'll
Pneunbnia, we are told, is invited by
certain condition of the system, indicated il
one has occasional chills and fevers, ten
dency to,cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme urod
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in the side, loss of appetite, back ache,
nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or
scant and discolored fluids, heart fiutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puhy
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 coming
calamity In other words, II pneumonia
does not claim as victim the persons hav-
ing such symptoms some less sudden but
quite as fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told the
Tribune that pneumonia was secondary
disorder, the exposure and cold being slmp-
" 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 viii be felt in the kidneys or their
vicinity and often it can be detected only
by chemical and microscopical observa-
tons.
Nearly $50 Of the 740 deaths in New York
CITY the first week in April land In six
| weeks 7S1 deaths) were caused by pneu-
monia!
The disease is very obstinate, and il the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced, recovery is impossible, for the
| kidneys give out entirely, and the patient IL
! literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to maintain q vigorous condition OF the sys-
TEN. and thus prevent its attacks, by using
whatever viii radically and effectually re
store full vitality to the kidneys, for, II thes
are not sound, paeunsoniG cannot De prevented
For this purpose there is nothing to equa
Warmers safe cure, q remedy known Il
millions, used probably by hundreds o
thousands and commended as STANDARD
specific wherever known and used. 1t doe!
not pretend to cure an attack OF pnen
monia, but it does remove the cause Of and pre-
vent that disease II taken is time. No reasona
BILE man can doubt this if he regards tn
personal experience of thousands OF honor
able men.
When physician says his patient hal
either bright's disease or pneumonia he con
fesses his inability to cure, and in measure
he considers his responsibility ended II
many instances, indeed, persons are report
ed as dying Of pneumonia, heart disease
| apoplexy and commissions, when the res
cause Of death and 80 known by the phys
clan is the kidney consumption. Thousand
of people have it without knowing it an
perish of it because their physicians wi
not tell them the factsl The same fat
awaits every one who viii not exercise n
Judgment in such q matter.
