Every one breads this prevalent disor-

usually speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge?
1t is not Gin the air - Infectious or con-
tagious. 1t results from exposure, changes

apparently healthy than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, We are told, is invited by

A celebrated New York physician re-
Gently told the Tribune that pneumonia
was a secondary disorder, the exposure
and cold being simply the agent which de-
velops the disease already dormant In the
system, because the kidneys have been but
partially doing their duty. In short, pneu-

suSpecting it, because no pain viii be felt
in the kidneys or their vicinity and often
it can be detected only by chemical and
microscopical examination.
The only safeguard against pneumonia
is to maintain vigorous condition OF the
system. and thus prevent its attacks. by
using whatever will radically and eftec-
tually restore full vitality to the kidneys,
for pneumonia can never be prevented
when they are disordered. There are
scores of men, and women too. who are
only too willing to preserve these great
organs and prevent pneumonia who do
not know how to do SO. 1t IS no easy
task 1t requires care and the careful
use of just the proper thing. Many
persons have questioned what is the best
thing to use, buG physicians are quite gen
orally agreed that nothing so safely and
so certainly does this as Warmers safe
Cure. 1t is a remedy known to millions
and commended as a standard specific
where ever known. 1t does not pretend
to cure an attack of pneumonia, but it
does and can remove the cause of and pre-
vent that disease if taken in time. No
reasonable man can doubt this If he re-
CARDS the personal experience of thousands
of honorsble men worthy of his favor.
When physician says his patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia he con-
fesses his inability to cure. and in meas
ure he considers his responsibility ended.
In many instances, indeed, persons are re-
ported as dying from pneumonia, heart
disease, apopleXy and convulsions when
the real cause of death and so known by
the physicians is this kidney consumption.

physician will not tell them the facts! The
same fate awaits every one who will nos ex-
ercise his judgment in such matter and
be true to himself, his family and to
society
