Many q strong, weli-built man leaves
home to-day; before night he Will have q
chill and in few hours will be dead
This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people of.
The list of notable men who are its vic
Tins is appalling.
II sweeps over the land like q 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 q
certain condition Of the system, indicated il
one has occasional chills and levers, q ten
dency to cold in the throat and lungs, rheu.
matte and neuralgia pains, extreme t,r1d
feelings, short breath and pleuritic stitches
in the side, loss of appetite, back-ache,
nervous unrest, scalding sensations, OF
scant and discolored fluids, heart f1utter.
ings, sour stomach, distressed look, puffy
eve 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
tnat they are natures warning Of a coming
calamity. In other words, if pneumonia
does not claim as victim the persons hav.
ing such symptoms some less sudden bu,
quite as fatal malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York physician told the
Tribune that pneumonia was Q secondary
disorder, the exposure and cold being simp
" 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 bright's diseased condition
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspectiug it because
no pain will be felt in the kidneys or their
vicinity and often it can be detected only
by chemical and nicroscopical observa
tons.
Nearly $50 Of the 40 deaths in New Yorl
CITY the frst wosk in April land in six
weeks 7s1 doaths) were caused by pneu'
monia!
The disease Is very obstinate, and II the
ACCOMMODATING kidn ey disorder u very far
advanced, recovery Is impossible, for the
kidneys give out entirely, and the patient ID
literally sufecated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia IL
to maintain vigorous condition Of the sys-
TEN, and thus prevs~t its attacks, by using
whatever will radically and efectually re-
store full vitality to tho kidneys, for, II thes
are not sound, pnesnonia 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 az q standard
specific wherever known and used. 1t does
not pretend to cure an attack Of pneu
monia, but it does rensous the eauss o aud pre-
vent that diseass II token 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 q measure
he considers his responsibility ended. In
many instances, indeed, persons are report
ed as dying Of pneumonia, heart disease
apoplexy and commissions, when the rea
cause Of death and so known by the physi
clan is the kidney consumption. Thousands
of people have it without knowing it an6

not tell them the factsl The same fatt
awaits every one who will not exercise hi!
Judgment in such a matter.
