It's Rightfui Name.

Many strong, well-buit man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have q
chill and in O few hours will be dead
This is the way tho dreaded pneumonia
takes people off.
The list of notable men who are its vic
tins is appalling.
1t sweeps over the land like n scourge
and destroys poor and rich alike
Every one breads it Its coming Is sud
den, it's termination usually speedy.
What causes itl
Pneumonia, we arc told, is invited by
certain condition of the system, indicated IL
one has occasional chills and fevcrs, u ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleuritic sutchcs
in the side, loss Of appetite, back'ache,
nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or
scant and discolored fluids, heart tlutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye sacs, 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, the person not realizing
tnat they are natures warning CT coming
calamity In other words, if pneumonia
does not claim as a victim the persons hav-
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 simp-
ly the agent which develops the disease, al
ready dormant in tho system, because the
kidneys have been but partially doing their
duty. In short, pneumonia is but an early
indication of bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may 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 chemical and microscopical observa-
tions.
Nearly $50 of the 74O deaths in New York
city the first week in April land in six
weeks Isl 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 condition of the sys-
| TEN, and thus prevem its attacks, by using
whatever will radically and etfectually re-
store full vitality to the kidneys, for, If they
are not sound, pneumonia cannot be prevented.
| For this purpose there is nothing to equal
| Warmers safe cure, remedy known 10
millions, used probably by hundreds OF
| thousands and commended as a standard
specific wherever known and used. 1t does
rot pretend to cure an attack of pneu,
monia, but it does remove the cause ot and pre-
uent that disease if taken in time. No reasona'
BILE man can doubt this if he regards the
personal experience of thousands of honor
| able men.
When physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia he con
fesses his inability to cure, and in a measure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are report
ed as dying of pneumonia, heart disease,
apopleXy and convulsions, when the real
cause of death and so known by the physi-
clan is the kidney consumption. 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 matter.
