What causes itt
Pneumonia, we are told, il invited by
certain Ct addition of the system, indicated
| ( one has occasional chills and fevers, n
tendency 70 cold in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic and neuralgia pains, extreme
| tired feelings, short breath and pleuritio
stitches in the side, loss of appetite, back
| ache nervous unrest scalding sensations
)r scant and discolored fluids, heart futter
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye sacs, hot and dry skins, loss Of strength
and virility
These indications may not appear to-
| yether, they may come, disappear and re-
| appear for years, the person not realizing
! that they are natures warning of coming
calamity
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim as "A victim the person having such
symptoms some less sudden but quite as
fatal malady certainly will.
| \ celebrated New York physician told
! the tribune tnat pneumonia WAS "a StCOuu'
| airy disorder, the exposure and cold being
| simply the agent which develops the dis
ease, already dormant in the system, be
cause the kidneys havo been but partially
doing their duty. In short, pneumonia is
but an early indication of bright's dis
eased condition. This impaired action may
| exist for years without the patient suspect
ing il because no pain will be felt in the
| kidneys or their vicinity and often II can
| be detected only by chemical and micro
| scOpical observations.
| Nearly $50 of the 40 deaths in New York
city the first week in April (and In six
weeks Isl deaths) were caused By pneu-
monia.
The disease j. very obstinate, and If the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced, recovery is impossible, for the
kidneys give out entirely and the patient
! is literally suhOcated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia ia
10 maintain vigorous condition OF the sys-
tenn, and thus prevent its attacks, by using
whatever will radically and cffectually re
store full vitality 10 the kidneys, for if they
are not sound, pneumonia cannot be pre-
/ vented. For this purpose there is nothing
/ equal to Warmers safe cure, remedy
| known TO millions. used probably by hun
dreds Of thousands and commended as a
standard spoc itic wherever known and used.
| 1t does not pretend 20 cure an attack OF pneu-
monia, but il does remove the cause Of and
: prevent that disease II taken IN time. no
reasonable man can doubt this if he regards
! the personal experience Of thousands of
! honorable men
! When a physician says his patient has
/ either bright's disease or pneumonia he con
/ fesses his inability 10 cure, and. in "A meas
ure, he considers his responsibility ended.
In many instances, indecd, persons are re-
/ ported as dying ofpueumonia, heart disease,
/ apoplcxy and commissions. when the real
/ rauSp of death and so known by the ply
/ sicianis this kidney consumption. Thou
sands of people have it without knowing il
and perish Of it because their physicians
i viii not tell them the facts The same fate
awaits every one who will not exercise his
Judgment in such matter.
