Many a strong, weli-b1ilt man leaves
home to-day; before night he Will have a
chill and in few hours VIII be dead
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 seourge
and destroy poor and rich alike.
Every one reads H. Its coming is sud
den, its termination usually speedy
What causes it,
Pneumonia, we arc told is invited by q
certain condition of the system, indicated if
one has occasional chills and feyers, a ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheI-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in the side, loss of appetite, back-ache,
nervous unrest, scaldiug sensations, or
scant and discolored fluids, heart fiutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss Of strength
and vitality.
These indications may not appear to
gethcr, they may come, disappear and re
appear for years, the person not realizing
that they are natures warning of d coming
calamity In other WORDS, if 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 a secondary
disorder the exposure and cold being slmp-
ly the agent which develops the disease, al
ready dormant ia 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 it because
no pain viii be felt in the kidneys or their
vicinity and often it can be detected only
by chemical and microscopical observa-
tons.
Nearly 80 OF the 80 deaths in New York
city the first week in April land in six
weeks 7s1 deaths) We're caused by pneu-
monia!
The disease is 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 suffOcated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to maintain vigorous condition of the sys-
tern, and thus prevent is attacks, by using
whatever viii radically and effectually re-
store full vitality TO the kidneys, for, u they
are not sound, Pneumonia editaot be pregeHted.
For this purpose there is nothing to equal
Warmers safe cure, remedy known TO
millions, used probably by hundreds Of
thousands and commended as a standard
specific wherever known and used. 1t does
not pretend to cure an attack of pneu-
monia but it does reniOrs tie cause Of and pre-
rent that disease T TAKEN it tiDac. No reasona-
BILE man can doubt this if he regards the
personal experience of thousands Of honor
able men.
When a physician SAYS his patient has
either brights disease or pneumonia nc con-
fesses his inability to cure, and i'll measure
he considers his responsibility ended. Ia
many instances, indeed, persons are report
ed as dying of pneumonia, heart disease,
ep0plexy and commissions, when the real
cause of dea,E and 50 known by the physi-
clan is the kidney consumption. Thousands
Of people lac il without knowing il and
perish of i, because their physicians will
not tell them the facts! The same fate
awaits every one who viii not exercise his
judgment in such a matter.
