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 a scours>e
and destroys poor and rich alike.
Every one breads it. Its coming is sud-
den, it's 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 fevers, q ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in the side, loss of appetite, back ache,
nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or
scant and discolored fluids, heart flutter-
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss Of strength
and vitality.
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 hay

A celebrated New York physician told the
Tribune that pneumonia was q secondary
disorder, the exposure and cold being simp-
iy 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

by chemical and microscopical observa-
tons.
Nearly $50 of the 740 deaths in New York
city the first week in April (and in six
weeks Isl deaths) We're caused by pneu-
monia!
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 sys-
tenn, and thus preysnt its attacks, by using
whatever will radically and effectually 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

millions, used probably by hundreds of
thousands and commended as a standard
specific wherever known and used. 1t does
not pretend to cure an attack of pneu-
monia, but it does remoys the cause Of and pre-
rent that disease if taken IL time. No reasona-

personal experience of thousands of honor
able men.
When a physician says his patient has
.ither 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 ere report
ed as dying of pneumonia, heart disease,
apoplexy and commissions, when the real
cause of death and so known by the physi-
clan is the kidney consumption. 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 exercise his
Judgment in such a matter.
