A celebrated New York physician
told the .ribnte that pneumonia was a
secondary 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 impa red action NAV
exist for years without the patient
suspecting it because no pain will be
felt IN the kidneys or their vicinity and
often it can be detected only by chemi-
cal and microscopical observations.
Nearly 100 Of the 74O deaths in New
York city the first week in April land

By pneumonia!
The disease is very obstinate, and if
the accompanying kidney disorder is
very far advanced recovery is i'm
possible, for the kidneys give out en-

suffocated by water.

monia is TO maintain a vigorous con-

When physician says his patient

and in measure he considers his re-
