"PNEUMONlA." "
Why not Calt this Terrible Scourge by
 its Rightful Name7
(Neio Fork Telegram.)

 Many a strong, well-built man leaves home to-day; before night he will have chill and in few hours will be dead
 This is the way the dreaded pneu- monia takes people of.
 The list of notable men who are it's victims is appalling.
 It sweeps over the land like a scourge and destroys poor and rich alike.
 Everyone dreads it. Its coming is sudden, 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 levers, tendency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheumatic and neuralgia pains, extreme tired feel ipgs, short breath and pleuritic stitches in the side, loss of appetite, backache, nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or scant and discolored fluids, heart fiutterings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of strength and virility.
 These indications may not appear together, they may come, disappear and reappear for years, the person not realizing that they are natures warE- ing of a coming calamity.
 In O. her words, if pneumonia does not claim as victim the persons hav- 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 simply the agent which develops the disease, already dormant in the 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 observations.
 Nearly 15O of the 740 deaths in New York city the first week in April (and in six weeks 7S1 deaths) were caused by pneumonia!
 The disease is very obstinate, and if the accompanying kidney disorder is very far advanced, recovery is im- possible, for the kidneys give out en- tirely, and the patient is literally sui located by water.
 The only safeguard against pner- monia is to maintain vigorous condi- tion of the system, and thus prerent is attacks, by using whatever will radically and effectually restore full '-i,ality to the kidneys, for # they arg "ot sound, pneumonia cannot be pre- rented. For this purpose there is oothing equal to Warmers safe cure a -emedy known to millions, used probably by hundreds of thousands and commended as standard specific wherever known and used. It does lot pretend to cure an attack of pneu- nonia, but it does remore the cause of .nd prerent that disease if taken in Gme. No reasonable man can doubt this if he regards the personal ex- perience of thousands of honorable men.
 When a physician says his patient has either bright's disease or pneu- monia he confesses his inability to cure, and in measure he considers his responsibility nded. In many instances, indeed, persons are re- ported as dying of pneumonia, heart disease, apoplexy and conyulsions, when the real cause of death and so known by the physician is this kidney consumption. Thousands of people have it without knowingit it and perish of it because their physicians will not tell them the facts! The same fate awaits every one who will no. exer- else his judgment in such a matter.
