This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people off.
The list of notable men who are its VIE
Tins is appalling.
It sweeps over the land like q scourge
and destroys poor and rich alike.
Everyone breads it. Its coming is sud-
den, its termination usually speedy.
What causes it?
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by
certain condition OF the system, in
dicated If one has occasional chills and
fevers, a tendency to cold in the throa'
and lungs, rheumatic and neuraigir
pains, extreme tired feelings, short
| breath and pleuritic stitches in the side,
| loss of appetite, bachache, nervous un-
| rest, scalding sensations, or scant and
| discolored fluids, heart futterings, sour
stomach, distressed look, puffy eye sacs,
hot and dry skin, loss of strength and
virility.
These indications may not appear to-

reappear for years, the person not realiz-
ing that they are natures warning OF a
coming calamity.
claim as victim the persons having
such symptoms some less sudden but
quite as fatal malady certainly will.
| A celebrated New York physician told
the Tribune that pneumonia was secon-
dary disorder, the exposure and cold
being simply the agent which develops
| the disease, already dormant in the sys-
| fem. because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short
nneumonia is but an early indication OF
a bright's diseased condition. This inn
| paired action may exist for years with
cut the patient suspecting it because nc
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 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 i
the accompanying kidney disorder i:
very far advanced, recovery is impos
! eible, for the kidneys give out entirely
and the patient is literally suffoeated by
