PNEUMONIA"
Why not Call this Terrible Scourge BY
it's kightful Namee

(Neio York Telegram)
Many a strong well built man leaves home
to-day; before night he will have 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 victims
is appalling.
1t sweeps over the land like a scourge and
destroys poor and rich alike.
Everyone breads it. Its coming is sudden,
its termination usually speedy.
What causes itl
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by a
certain condition of the system, indicated il
one has occasional chills and fevers. a ten.
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
malic and neuralgia pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleur.tic stitches
In the side, nervous unrest scalding senSa-
tions, or scant and discolored fluids, heart
futterings, sour stomach. distressed look,
puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skim loss Of
strength and virility.
These indications may not appear together,
they may come, disappear and reappear for
years, the person not realizing that they are
natures warning of a 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
malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physical told the
lTtOUUS tLdJ DUtuIIlOulu was ScCONuuIN
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
short, pneumonia is but an early indication
of a bright's diseased condition. This impaired
action may exist for years without the pa
tent suspec.ing it, because no pain will be
felt in the kidneys or their vicinity, and often
it can be detected only by chemical and mi
croScopical observations
Nearly $50 of the 740 deaths in New York
CITY the first week in April and in six weeks
7Sl Deaths were caused by pneumonia.
The disease is very obstinate, and il tho
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced, recovery is impossible, for the kid
neys give out entirely, and the patient IS lit
orally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to maintain a vigorous condition OF the
system, and thus prevent its attacks, by
using whatever will radically and effec-
tualiy restore full vitality to the kidneys,
for If they are not sound pneumonia cam
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 commended as q
standard specific wherever known and used
1t does not pretend to cure an attack of
pneumonia. but it does remOre the cause OF
and prerent that disease If taken in time.
No reasonable man can doubt this if he re-
CARDS the personal experience of thousands
! Of honorable men.
/ When a PHYSICIAN says his patient has
either brights disease or pneumonia he con
fesses his inability to cure, and in a measure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are reported
as dying of pneumonia, heart disease
apoplexy and commissions, when the rea
cause of death, and so known by the physt
Clans is this kidney consumption. Thousand!
| of people have it without knowing it and
perish of it because their physicians will moi
tell them the facts! The same fate awaits
every one who will not exercise his judgment
in such q matter.
