Many str ,ng. well-built man leaves
home to-day. before night he will have Il
chill, aud in few hours be will be dead
This is the way the dreaded pneumonia
takes people off The list OF notable men
who are its victims is appalling
William j. Florence, the popular actor
who was supporting Joseph jefferson, is
taken with chill while acting Next day
the physicians tell us he is doing we'll In
Two days he is dead.
Gen. Meigs, able, loyal, brave, while
taking bath, feels sudden tremor, a
weakness, and is hurried to his death
Every one breads this prevalent disorder
Its coming is sudden, its termination
usually speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge?
1t is not lin the ir,"-infectious or con-
tagious. 1t results from exposure, changes
of weather, and prevails more among the
apparently healthy than among the feeble.
Pneumonia, we are told, is invited by a
| certain condition of the system, indicated
If one has occasional chills and fevers, q
| tendency to colds in the throat and lungs,
rheumatic and neuralgic pains, extreme
tired feelings, short breath and pleuritc
stitches in the side, hot and dry skin, loss
OF strength and vitality. These indications
may not appear together, they may come,
disappear and re-appear, the person not
realizing that they are natures warnings of
a coming calamity.
A celebrated New York physician re-
Gently told the Tribune that pneumonia
was 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
an carly indication of a brighps 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 microscopical
examination.
The only safeguard against pneum onia is
to maintain q vigorous condition of the
system, and thus prevent its attacks, by
using whatever will radically and effectu.
ally 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, but ply sicians
are quite generally agreed that nothing so
safely and so certainly does this as War
ner's Safe Cure. 1t is remedy known to
millions and commended as a standard
specific wherever known. 1t does not
pretend to cure an attack of pneu monia,
but it does and can remove the cause of
and prevent that disease if taken in time.
No reasonable man can doubt this if he
regards the personal experience of thou
nds of honorable men worthy his favor
When q physician says his patient has
either brights disease or pneumonia, he
confesses his inability TO cure, and in a
measure he considers his responsibility
ended. In many insts noes, indeed, per-
sons are reported as dying from pneumonia,
heart disease, apoplexy and convusiOns
when the real cause of death and so
known by the physicians is this kidney
consumption. Thousands of people have
1t without knowing it and perish of it be-
cause their physicians will not tell Il EN-
the facts The same fate awaits every one
who will not exercise his judgment in
such a matter and be true to himself his
family and to society.
