A Scientific and Accurate DsecrIp1
ton OF This Dreaded Blood
Disorder.
ut il generally supposed that pneu-
monia is due to the accidental pene-
tratine Of specific microbes into the
system, but the. observations OF M.
Jaccoud show that the disease really
results from the development, under
favorable conditions, of microbic
germs permanently present in the
system. A chief condition oil such
development Is q sudden chill, which
explains the frequent coincidence Of
lung affections with abrupt changes
OF temperature."-scientific Ameli-
can.
Another prominent (American) au-
thority ascrlbes pneumonia to an ex.
cess Of ozone, ozone being produced
by passage OF electricity in the air.
A distinguished American physician
tells the New YORK Tribune that the
prevalence of pneumonia indicates the
universally OF a uric.acid condition. of
the blood.-sudden chills always being
characteristic effects of too much acid
of one sort and another.
The disease, as M. Jaccoud observes,
is undoubtedly in the blood, but if in
the form of permanent microbes or
germs, these germs must be developed
by the uric-acid condition o 1.-THE blood.
Indeed, they cannot presumably exist
in alkaline blood. Uric.acidi is the name
for the waste matter of the system,
which the kidneys, through evident
though unexpected impairment,
have not beer able to filter from the
blood,-the filter being foul and stop.

The Tribune's authority says that
pneumonia is secondary disorder,
the exposure and cold being simply
the agents which develop the disease,
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 diseased condition. This
impaired action may exist Tor years
without the patient suspecting it, be.
cause no pain will be felt in the kid
neys or their vicinity, and often it. can
be detected only by chemical and mi
croscopical examinations. Nearly
$50 of the 74O deaths in New York
City the first week in a recent March,
and in SIX weeks 781 deaths, were
caused by pneumonia alone.

Of strength and virility, pneumonia is
likely to strike him down any day,
and his recovery will be doubtful.
These indications may not ap-
pear together. they may come, disap-
pear and re-appear, for years, the per-
son not realizing that they arenature's
warnings OF coming calamity.
The disease is very ~quick-acting and
if the accompanying kidney disorder
is very far advanced, recovery is i'm
possible, for the kidneys give out m
tirely, and the patient is literally
suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumo-
mia is to maintain a vigorous condi-
ton Of the system and thus prevent
attacks, by using whatever will radi
cally and efectnally restore full Vi
tally to the kidneys, and for this
thereis nothing equal to Warmers safe

pneumonia cannot be prevented.
This remedy Is known to millions,
used. probably, by hundreds Of thou
sands all over the globe, and com.
mended as q standard specific wlier-
ever known ard used. It does not
pretend to cure an attack of pneumo-
MIA, bur it does remove the cause OF,
and prevent that dIsease4if taken in
time.
When q physician. says his patient
has either bright's disease or pneumo-
MIA, he confesses his inability.to cure,
and in a. measure he considers. his re-
sponsibility ended. In many in
stances, indeed, persons are re-
ported as lying Of pneumonia, heart
disease, apoplexy and commissions,
when the real cause of death. and SO
known by the physicians, is this kid
ney consumption. Thousands Of peo-
ple have it without knowing it. and
perish OF it because their physicians
will nottell them the facts.
The same destiny awaits every n
who will not exercise his judgment in
such q matter and be true to himself
his family and to society.
