[NeO York 7szegram.l
Many strong, well-b1ilt man leaves
home to-day; before night he will have q
chill and in a few hours will be deadl
This is tho way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people off. $780, r.. 49,.
The list of notable men who are it's VIC
tins is appalling.
It 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!
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by a
certain condition of the system, indicated if
one has occasional chills and fovers, q ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in tho 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 skim, loss of strength
and vitality.
These indications may not appear to-
gether, they may come, disappear and re-
appear for years, the person not realizin 6
that they are natures warning of a coming
calamity. In other words, if pneumonia
does not claim as a victim the persons hay
ing such symptoms some less sudden but
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 the system, because the
kidneys have been but partially doing their
duty In short, pneumonia is but an early
indication of brights 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 (and in six
weeks ISL deaths) were caused by pneu-
monia!
The disease is very obstinate, and if the
accompanying kidney dis order 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-
tenn, and thus 1,reve,,t its attacks, by using
| whatever will radically and efectually 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, a remedy known tc
millions, used probably by hundreds Of
thousands and commended as standard
specific wherever known and used. It does
not pretend to cure an attack of pneu
monia, but it does remove the cause OF and pre-
ve,t 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 measure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are report
ed as dying of pneumonia, heart disease
epoplexy and commissions, when the rea
cause of death and so known by the physi
clan is the kidney consumption. Thousand:
of people have it without knowing it ant
perish of it because their physicians will
! not tell them the facts! The same fat
awaits every one who will not exercise hi
Judgment in such a matter.
