Many a strong, well-built man leaves 1 home to-day; before night lie wlll have a Chili and in a few hours will be dead? This is the way the dreaded pneumonía takes people off. The list of notable men who are its victima is appalllng. It sweeps over the land like a scourge and destroys poor and rich allke. Every one dreads it. lts coming is sudden, its termlnation usually speedy. What causes lt( Pneumonía, we are told, is iuvltod by a certaln condition of the system, lndicated ií one has occasional chilla and fevers, a tcndcncy to cold in the throat and lungs, rheumatio and neuralgic pains, extreme tired feelinpa, short broath and pleuritic stiches in the side, loss of appetite, backache, norvüus unrest, scalding sensations, or scant and discolorea fluida, heart flutterings, sour stomach, dlstressod look, puffy eye saca, hot and dry skins, loss of strength and virility. These indications may not appear together, they may come, disappear and reappear for years, the person not realizing that they are nature's warnlng of a coming calamity. In other words, if pneumonía does not claim as a victim the person haring such symptoms some less suddcn but quite as fatal malady certainly will. A colebrated New York physiclan told the Tribune that pneumonía was a second ary disorder, the exposure and cold belng siraply the agent which develops the disease, already dormán t in the system, because the kidneys have been but partially doing their duty. In short, pneumonía is but an early indlcation of a bright's diseased condition. This impalred action may exist for years without the patiënt suspectlnjj it bticause no pain wlll bo feit in the kidneys or their vlcinity and of ten it can be detected only by chemical and microscopical obsorvations. Nearly 150 of the 740 deaths in New York city the flrat week in April (and in six weeks Ï81 death) were causea by pneumonia. The disease is very obstinate, and if the accompanying kidney disorder is very far advanced, recovery is impossible, for the kidneys give out entirely, and the patiënt is literally suffocated by water. The only safeguard against pneumonía is to malntain a vigorous condition of the system, and thus prevent its attacks, by using whatever will radically and effectually restore full vitality to the kidneys, for if they are not sound, pneumonía cannot be proven ted. For this purpose there is nothing equal to Warner's safe cure, a remedy known to millions, used probably by hundreds of thousands and commended as a Standard speciflc wherever known and uscd. It does not pretend to cure an attack of pneumonía, but it does remove the cause of and prevent that disease if taken in time. No reasonable man can doubt this if he regareis the personal experience of thousands of honorable men. When a physician says hls patiënt has either bright's disease or pneumonía he confesses his inability to cure, and, in a measurc, he considera his rosponsibility ended. In many instances, indeed, persons are roported as dying of pneumonía, heart disease, apoplexy and convulsión, when the real cause of death and so known by the physician is this kidney consumption. Thousands of people have it without knowing it and perish of it bocause their physicians will not teil tliem the f acts 1 The same fate awaits every one who will not exercise his 'urtginent in such a matter.
