"PNEUMONlA." 1"
Why not Call this Terrible scourge by
 Its Rightful Namef
(Ne,V Fork Tsleoram,)

(Nsw Fork Tslegram.)
 Many 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 of.
 The list of notable men who are its vic- tims is appalling.
 It sweeps over the land like scourge aud destroys poor and rich alike.
 Everyone d'eads it. Its coming is sud den. its termination usually speedy.
 What causes it?
 a certain condition of tle system, in. dicated if one has occasional chills and levers, tendency to cold in the throat and lungs. rheumatic and neuralgia pains, extreme tired feelings, short breath and Ileuritic stitches in the side, losa of appetite, barkache, nervous un- rest, scalding sensations, or scant and discolOred fluids, heart flutterings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of strength and virility.
 These indications may not appear to- gether, they may come, disappear and reappoar for years, the person not realiz- ing that they are natures warning of a coming calamity.
 In other words, II pneumonia does not claim as victim the persons having such symptoms some less sudden but quite as fatal malady certainly will.
 I celebrated New York physician told flie Tribune that pneumonia was secon- dary disorder, the exposure and cold being simply the agent which develops the disease, already dormant in the sys- tenn, because the kidneys have been but partially doing their duty. In short, pneumonia is but an early indication of . brieht's diseased condition. This inn paired sction may exist for years with out the patient suspectinR 1t because no pain win be felt in the kidneys or their vicinity and often it can be detected only by chemical and microscopical observa- tions.
 Nearly l5O of the TAO deaths in New York City the first week in April (and in six weeks 78l deaths, were caused by pneumonia!
 The disease is very obstinate, and if the accompanying kidney disorder is very far advanced, recovery is impos- sible, for the kidneys give out entirely, and the patient is literally suffocated by water.
 The only safeguard against pneumonia fs to maintain a vigorous condition of the system, and thus prevent its attacks. by using whatever will radically and effectually restore full vitality to the kidneys, for if they are not sound, pneu- monia cannot be preuented. For this pur- pose there is nothing equal to Warmers safe cure, a remedy known to millions, used probably by hundreds of thousands and commended as @ standard specific wherever known and used. It does not pretend to cure an attack of pneumonia, but it does rcmove the causc of and preUent that disease V taken in time. No reason able man can doubt this if he regards the personal experience of thousands of honorable men.
 When physician says his patient has either bright's disease or pneumonia he confessss his inability to cure, and in a measure he considers his responsibility ended. In many instances, indeed, per. sons are reported as dying of pneumonia, heart disease, apoplexy and convulsions, when the real cause of death and so known by the physician is this 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 judg- mlnt in such 2 matter.
