Many a strong, well-built man leaves home
to-day, before night he will have chill, and in
! few hours he will be dead! This is the way
the dreaded pneumonia takes people of. The
list OF notable men who are its victims is ap-
pslling.
William J. Florence, the popular actor who
was supporting Joseph Jefferson, is taken with
a chill while acting Next day the physicians
tell US he is doing well. In two days he is dead.
Gen. Meigs. able, loyal, brave, while taking 3
bath, feels a sudden tremor, weakness, and is
hurried to his death.
Every one breads this prevalent disorder.
It's coming is sudden, its termination usually
| speedy.
What causes the terrible scourge?
1t is not sin the air-infectiOus or contagious.
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 II one has
occasional ckills aud fsvers, 3 tendency TO
colds in the throat and lungs, rheumatic and
neuralgia pains, extreme tired feelings, short
breath and pleuritic stitches In the side, hot
] and dry skin, loss of strength and virility.
| These indications may not appear together;
| they may come disappear and res ppear, the per.
son not realizing that they are natures warn
| ings OF a coming calamity.
A celebrated New York physician recently
| told the Tribune that pneumonia was second
| airy disorder, the exposure and cold being simp-
| ly the agent which develops the disease, a.
| ready dormant in the system, because the kid
news have been but partially doing their duty.
| In short, pneumonia is an early indication OF a
bright's disease condition. This impaired ac-
| ton may exist Tor years without the patient
| suspecting it, because no pain will be felt in
| the kidneys or their vicinity and often il can
be detected only by chemical and microscopical
| examination.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is 10
| maintain a vigorous condition OF the system,
| and thus prevent its attacks by using whatever
| will radically and effectuAlly restore full vital
| ity 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 "a
| 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 physicians are quite generally agreed
| that nothing so safely and so certa My does
| this as Warmers SAFE Cure. IL Is remedy
| known TO millions and commended as stand
| ard specific wherever known. 1t does not pre-
tend to cure an attack Of pneumonia, but II
| does and can remove the cause OF and prevent
that disease IL taken in time. No reasonable
| man can doubt this II he regards the personal
experience OF thousands OF honorable men
| worthy his favor.
When a physician says his patient has either
| Bright's disease or pneumonia. he confesses his
| inability to cure and in a measure he considers
| his responsibility ended. In many instances,
| indeed, persons are reported rs dying from
| pneumonia, heart disease, apoplexy and con
| vulsions when the real cause OF death, and SC
| known by the physicians is this kidney con
sumption. Thousands OF people have IL with
| out knowing 1t, and perish Of it because their
| physician will not tell them the facts! The
same fate awaits every one who will not exer
| else his judgment in such matter and be true
| to himself, his family and TO society
