Many Il strong. well-built man leaves
home to-day before night he will a v a
chill and I'm a few hours will be deadi
This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people of.
The list of notable men who are its vic
tins Is appalling.
1t sweeps over the land like a scourge
and destroys poor and rich alike.
Every one breads II. Its coming Is sud
den, its termination usually speedy.
What causes it,
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by "A
certain condition of the system, indicated
If one has occasional chills and fevers, a
tendency TO cold in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic and neuralgia pains, extreme
tired feelings, short breath and pleuritic
stitches in the side, loss of appetite, back
ache, nervous unrest, scalding sensations,
or scant and discolored fluids, heart tlutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye sacs, hot and dry skins, loss OF strength
and virility.
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 a 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.
A celebrated New York physician told
the Tribune that pneumonia was "A second
AIRY disorder, the exposure and cold being
simply the agent which develops the dis
ease, already dormant in the system, be-
cause the kidneys have been but partially
doing their duty. In short, pneumonia is
but an early indication of "A bright's dis
eased condition. This impaired action may
exist for years without the patient suspect
ing 1t because no pain Will be felt in the
kidneys or their vicinity and often it 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 land in six
weeks Isl deaths) were caused by pneu-
monia.
The disease is very obstinate, and If the
accompanying kidney disorder is very far
advanced, recovery is impossible, Tor the
kidneys give out entirely, and the patient
is literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
TO maintain u vigorous condition of the sys-
tenn, and thus prevent its attacks, by using
whatever will radically and effectually re-
store full vitality TO tho kidneys, for i fthey
are not sound, pneumonia cannot be pre-
vented. For this purpose there is nothing
equal TO Warmers safe cure, a remedy
known 10 millions, used probably by hun
drods of thousands and commended as a
standard specific wherever known and used.
1t does not pretend to cure an attack of pneu-
monia, but il does remove the cause of and
prevent that disease If 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 TO cure, and, in a meas
ure, he considers his responsibility ended.
In many instances. indeed, persons are re-
ported as dyingOf pneumonia, heart disease,
apoplexy and commissions, when the real
cause of death and so known by the ply
s~icianis this kidney consumption. Thou
sands Of people have it without knowing it
and perish of IL because their physicians
will not tell them the facts! The same fate
awaits every one who will not exercise his
judgment in such "a matter.
