| Many strong, weli-bnilt man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have
chill and In q few hours will be dead
This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people OF.
The list OF notable men who arc its VIC
tins is appalling
II 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 i'll
Pneumonia, we arc told, Is invited by q
certain condition OF tho system, indicated II
one has occasional chills and fevers, ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
matte 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 fiutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye saes, 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, tho person not realizing
that they are natures warning OF coming
calamity. In other words, II pneumonia
does not claim as victim tho persons hay
ing such symptoms some less sudden but
quite as fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told the
Tribune that pneumonia was n secondary
disorder, the exposure and cold being simp-
ly the agent which develops tho 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 a bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspecting II because
no pain will be felt In the kidneys or their
vicinity and often IL can DO detected only
by chemical aud microscopical observa-
tons.
Nearly $50 Of tho 40 deaths in New York
city tho first week in April land In six
weeks Isl deaths) were caused by pneu-
monial
The disease is very obstinate, and II the
accompanying kidney disorder Is very far
advanced, recovery Is impossible, for tho
kidneys give out entirely, and the PATIENTS
literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia Is
10 maintain vigorous condition OF the sys-
TEN, and thus prevsa. ~ attacks, by using
whatever win radically and effectually re-
store full vitality to the kidneys, for, u Thy
are not sound, pHsuDsoilid edEHot BE- prepofed.
For this purpose there Is nothing 10 equal
Warmers safe cure, n remedy known 10
millions, used probably by hundreds OF
thousands and commended no o standard
specific wherever known and used. 1t does
rot pretend TO cure an attack OF pneu-
monia, but 1t does remors ne eauss ef aud pre-
pent that disease u idlsN u time. No reasona-
BILE man can doubt this II no regards the
personal experience OF thousands Of honor
able men.
When physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia he con
fesscs his inability to cure, and in ameasuro
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are report
cd as dying OF pneumonia, heart disease,
apoplexy and commissions, whom the real
cause OF death and so known by tho physi
clan is the kidney consumption. Thousands
OF people have 1t without knowing II and
perish Of IL because their physicians will
not tell them the factsl The same fate
awaits every one who will not exercise his
Judgment in such matter.
