Many a strong, well-built man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have
| chill and in few hours will be dead
That is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people off.
The list of notable men who are its vic
| Tins is appalling
1t sweeps over the land like scourge
and destroys Door and rich people alike.
Everyone breads it. It's coming is sud-
| den; it's termination usually speedy.
What causes it?
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by
| certain condition of the system, indicated
if one has occasional chills and fevers,
| tendency to cold in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic 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 hutter-
ings, 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 re-
appear for years, the person not realizing
that they are natures warning of coming
calamity.
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim as victim the persons having such
symptoms some less sudden but quite as
fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told
the Tribune" that pneumonia was sec
ondary disorder, the exposure and cold
being simply the agent which develops the
disease, already dormant in the system,
because the kidneys have been but par
tally doing their duty. In short, pneu-
monia is but an early indication of
Bright's diseased condition. This impaired
action may exist ior years without the pa
tent suspecting it, because no pain will be
felt in the kidneys or their vicinity and
often it can be detected only by chemical
and microscopical observations.
Nearly $50 of the $50 deaths in New York
CITY the first wesk in April (and IN six
weeks 781 deaths) were 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 conc ton of the
system, and thus prevent it's attacks, by
using whatever will radically ara effect
ually restore full vitality to tt kidneys,
for if they are not sound, pneumonia cam
not be prevented. For this purpose there
is nothing equal to Warmers safe cure, a
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 at
tack of pneumonia, but it does remove the
cause of prevent that disease If taken in
time. No reasonable man can doubt this |
if he regards the personal experience of |
thousands of honorable men.
When a physician says his patient has |
either brights disease or pneumonia he |
confesses his inability to cure, and in |
measure he considers his responsibility |
ended. In many instances, indeed, per- |
sons are reported as dying of pneumonia, |
heart disease, apOpleXy and commissions, |
when the real cause of death and so known |
by the physician is this kidney consump- |
ton. 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 judgment in such mat |
ter.
