MALARIA
Germ Infected Air.
Malaria is not confined exclusively to the swamps
and marshy regions of the country, but; wherever there is
bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous
vapors and gases frora sewere, and the muaty air of dauip
cellars are laden with tho genus of this imserable disease,
which are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the
Wood and trausmitted to every part of the body. Then
you begin to feel out of #ort3 w thout ever suspecting the
Jauee. No energy or appetite, dull ueadaehes, eleepy and
tiredand completely fagged out from the slightest exer
Son, are some of the deptorable effects of this enfecbling
malady. Ao the di?ease progressesan.d the blood becomes
more deeply poisoned, boils and abucesses and dark or
yellow spots appear upon the akin. When the poison is
feft to ferment and tbe microbes and germs to raultiply in
the blood, Wver and Kldney troubles and other eerious cotupHcatious often
arise. As Malariabegins aud develops in the blood, the treatment to be
? effective niust begin there too, 8, S, S. destroys
the gonua and poisona and purifies the polluted
blood, and under its tonie effect the debilitated
constitution'rapidly recuneratea and the systcra is
?. ?^ - poon clear of all signs of this depressing disease.
