A distinguished American physician
tells the New York Tribune that the prev
aience of pneumonia indicates the uni
versatility Of uric-acid condition Of the
hood, sudden chills always being char
acterislic effects Of too much acid, OF
one sort and another.
The disease, as NJ, 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 of the blood Indeed,
they cannot presumably exist in aka
line blood Uric acid is the name for the
waste matter of the system, which the
kidneys, through evident though unsus-
pccted impairment, have not been able to
filter from The blood, the filter being
foul and stopped up in many of its little
hair-like tubes.
The IribuHs'S authority says that pneu-
monia is a secondary disorder, the ex-
posure and cold being simply the agents
which develop the disease, already dor
mant in the system, because the kidneys
have been but partially doing their duty.
In short, pneumonia il but an early indl-
cation of a brighl'S diseased condition
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspccting II, because
no pain will he felt in the kidneys or
their vicinity, and often il can be de-
tected only by chemical and microscope
cal examinations. Nearly 100 of the TAO
deaths in New York city the first week
in recent March, and in six weeks ISL
deaths, were caused by pneumonia alone.
If one has occasional chills and fever,
tendency to colds in the throat and
lungs, rheumatic and neuralgia pains, ex-
treme tired feelings, short breath and
pleuritic stitches in the side, loss of ap-
petite, back ache, nervous unrcst-scald-
ing sensations or scant and dlSCOlored
fluids, heart iluttcrings, sour stomach,
distressed look, puffy eye Sacs, hot and
dry skin, loss of strength and virility,
pneumonia is likely to strike him down
any day and his recovery will be doubt
full
These indications MAY not appear to-
gether; they may come, disappear and re-
appear, for years, the person not rcaliz-
ing that they are natures warnings Of
coming calamity,
The disease is very quick acting and IL
the accompanying kidney disorder Is
very far advanced, recovery is mpossi-
BILE, for the kidneys give ont entirely, and
the patient is literally suirocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumo-
MIA Is to maintain vigorous condition
Of the system and thus prevent attacks,
by using whatever will radically and eff
fectually restore fun vitality to the kid
news, and for this there is nothing equal
to Warmers safe cure. If the kidneys
are not sound pneumonia cannot be pre-
vented. This remedy is known to mil
lions, used, probably, by hundreds Of
thousands all over the globe, and com
mendcd as standard specific wherever
known and used 1t does not pretend to
cure an attack Of pneumonia, but it does
remove the cause Of and prevent that
disease if taken in time.
When physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia, he
confesses his inability 10 cure, and in Il
measure he considers his responsibility
ended. In many instances, indeed, per
sons are reported as dying of pneumo-
MIA, heart disease, apoplcXy and convul-
sions, when the real cause of death, and
so known by the physicians, is this kid
ney consumption. Thousands of people
have it without knowing it, and perish Of
1t because their physicians will not tell
them the facts.
The same destiny awaits every one
who will not exercise his judgment in
such matter and be true to himself, his
family and to society.
