PNEUMONIA"
Why Not Call This Terrible Scourge
by it's Rightful Nameq

Many a strong, well-built man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have a
chill and in few hours will be dead
This 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 poor and rich alike
Every one breads it. Its coming is sud
den, its termination usually speedy.
What causes it'll
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by a
certain condition of the system, indicated
if one has occasional chills and fevers, a
tendency to cold in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic and neuralgia pains, extrome
tired feelings, short breath aud pleuritic
stitches in the side, loss of appetite, back
ache, nervous unrest, scaiding sensations, or
scant and dis.olored fluids, heart fiutter-
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 a coming
calamity.
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim as a victim the persons having such
oyLlpUOile, oOIlle loss NuAUS
fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told
the Tribune that pneumonia was secon-
Diary disorder, the exposure and cold
being simply the agent which develops
the disease, already dormant in the sys-
ten, because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short, pneu-
monia is but an early indication of a
Bright's diseased condition. This impaired
action may exist for years without the pa
tent suspecting it, because no pain will be
felt in the kidneys or their vicinity, and
| often it can detected only by chemical and
microscopical observations.
Nearly $50 of the 740 deaths in New York
City the first week in April land in six weeks
ISL deaths were caused by pneumonia!
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
system, and thus prevent its attacks by
using whatever will radically and effec-
tually restore full vitality to the kidneys,
for If they are not sound pneumonia can
| not be prevented For this purpose there
is nothing equal to Warmers Safe Cure, a
| remedy known to millions, used probably
by hundreds or thousands, and commended
| as standard specific wherever known and
used. 1t does not pretend to cure an at
tack of pneumonia, but it does remoue the
cause of and 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 Bright's disease or pneumonia he con-
fesses his inability to cure, and in measure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are reported
as dying of pneumonia, heart disease, apo
plexy and commissions, when the real cause
of death, and so known by the physician, is
this kidney consumption. Thousands of
people have it without knowing it and per-
ish of it because their physicians will not
tell them the factsl The same fate awaits
every one who will not exercise his judg-
ment in such a matter
