/" PNEUMONIA
Why not Calf this Terrible scourgo By
its Rightful Manner


Many a strong, well-built man
leaves home to-day; before night he
will have a chill and in a few hours
will be dead
This is the way the dreaded pneu-
monia takes people eff.
The list of notable men who are its
victims is appalling.
1t sweeps over the land like a
scourge and destroys poor and rich
alike.
Everyone breads it. Its coming is
sudden, its termination usually
speedy.
What causes it2
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, extreme tired feel
ings, 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 warn.
ing of coming calamity.
In other words, il pneumonia does
not claim as IA victim the persons
haYing such symptoms some less
sudden butQuite as fatal malady GER
tainly 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 a 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 de-
tected only by chemical and micros-
copical observations.
Nearly $50 of the 740 deaths in New
York City the first week in April
(and 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 inn
possible, for the kidneys give out en-
tirely, and the patient is literally
suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneu-
monia is to maintain vigorous con-
dition of the system, and thus prevent
its attacks, by using whatever will
radically and effectually restore full
vitality to the kidneys, for If they are
not sound, pneumonia cannot be pre-
vented. For this purpose there is
nothing equal to Warmers safe cure,
a remedy known to millions, used
probably by hundreds of thousands
and commended as a standard spe-
cific wherever known and used. 1t
does not pretend to cure an attack OF
pneumonia, but it does TemOUe the
cause Ofdnd prevent that disease Utdken
IN time. 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 a measure he considers his
responsibility ended. In many in
stances, indeed, persons are reported
as dying of pneumonia, heart disease,
apoplexy and commissions, when the
real cause of death and so known
by the physician is this kidney con-
sumption. 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 exer-
else his judgment in such a matter.
