THE FLOWER CITY FURORE.
The COmmOtiOn Caused by the State
menT of n PhysIcIan.

rently It caused more commotion in Rocb-
ester, as the following from the same paper
shows:
DR.. j. B. Henion, who is well known not
| only in Rochester but in nearly every mart or
America, sent an extended article TO this
paper a few days since, which was dulv
| published, detailing his remarkable exne-
rlence and rescue from what seemed to he
certain death. It would be impossible to
enumerste the personal INQUIRIES which
have been made at our office as to the
validity OF the article, but they have been
| so numerous that further investigation of
the subject was deemed an editorial neces-
sitv.
With this end in view representative of
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his resi-
| dence on st. Paul street, when the following
| interview occurred: THAT article of vours
Doctor, has created quite whirlwind. Are
the statements about the terrible condition
! you were In, and the wav you were, rescued
| such as you can sustain?"
| s'Every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so nesr the
grave as did and then return, and I am not
| surprised that the public think it marvellous,
1t was marvellous"
chow in the world did YOU, physician,
| come to be brought so low"
"By neglectiDg the first and most simple
| L
is true had frequent headaches: felt tired
most Of the time; could eat nothing one day
| and was ravenous the next felt dull, indef-
| mite pains, and my stomach was out of order.
but did not think it meant anything seri-
! GUS"
"But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm q hold on You?'
Anything? Why they are the sure indi-
| cations Of OF 4 fri
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ails them, and am sorry to say
that too few physicians do either"
THAT is strange statement, DOCTOR"
"But 1t is true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms instead
OF diseases for years, and 1t is high time It
ceased. We doctors have been clipping off
the twigs when we should strike at the root.
The symptoms l have just mentioned or any
unusual action or irritation Of the water
channels indicate the approach of Bright's
disease even more than cough announces
the coming Of consumption. We do not
treat the cough, but try to help the lungs.
We should not waste our time trying to re-
| lieve the headache, stomach, pains about
the body or other symptoms, but go direct
| ly to the kidneys, the source of most of
| these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant when YOU
said that more than one-half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease, is
| it, DOCTOR"
"Preciselv. THOUSANDS of so-called dis
eases are torturing people to day, when, in
reality, II is Bright's disease in some one of
It's many forms. 1t is a hYdra-headed mon
ster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them. I
can look back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time were
| caused by paralysis, apoplexY, heart disease
m mi ms q lori al Ak6
mon complaints which see now were caus-
ed by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first?"
"Every one of them, and might have been
cured, as 1 was, by the timely use of the
same remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. am getting nay eyes thor
oughlV opened in this matter, and think l
am helping others to see the facts and their
possible danger also. Why, there are no
end Of truths bearing on this subject. If
| you want to know more about It 90 and see
Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the same
as l, and is the healthiest man in Rochester
to-day. He has made a study OF this sub
ject, and can give you more facts than can.
Go, too. and see Dr. baltimore, the chemist
at the University. II you want facts, there
are any quantity of them showing the
alarming increase Of Bright's disease, its
simple and deceptive symptoms, and that
there is but one way by which it can be
| escaped"
Fully satisfied Of the truth and force of
| the DOCTORS words, the reporter babe him
| good day and called on Mr.. Warner at his
establishment on Exchange street. At first
J Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent, bat
| learning that the information desired was
| about the alarming increase Of Bright's dis
ease, his manner changed instantly, and he
| spoke very earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by re-
liable statistics, thai in the past ten years
its growth has been $50 per cent. Look at
| the prominent men it has carried off: Ever
| EFT, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter,
Bishop Haven and others. This is terrible,
and shows greater growth than that of any
other known complaint 1t should be plain
to every one that something must be done
| to check this increase or there is no know
| ing where 1t may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted
| with 1t to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
Warner ~
"Hundreds of thousands. have strik-
| ing example Of this truth which has Just
come to my notice. A prominent professor
In New Orleans medical college was lee
| turing before his class on the subject of
Bright's disease. He had various fluids I'M
der microscopic analysis, and was showing
the students what the indications of this
| terrible malady were. In order to show the
contrast between healthy and unhealthy
fluids, he had provided vial the contents
| OF which were drawn from his own per-
son. 'And now, gentlemen he said, 'as we
| have seen the unhealthy indications, will
| show you how it appears In a state of per
| feet health and he submitted his own fluid
| to the usual test. AS he watched the re-
suits his countenance suddenly changed
his color and command both left him, and
in trembling voice he said Gentlemen, [

| Bright's disease Of the Kidneys and in less
| than year he was dead"
"You believe then that it has no symp-
! toms OF It's own and is frequently unknown
| even by the person who is afflicted with it?"
ut has no symptoms of its own and very
| often none at all. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently
| death is the first symptom. The slightest
indications OF any kidney difficulty should

ut is very wonderful, is 1t not2''
ga very prominent case, but no more so
| than great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cured by the

"You believe then that Bright's disease
can be curedP"
II know it can. l know it from the ex-
| perience OF hundreds of prominent persons
| who were given up to die by both their
physicians and friends"
"You speak of your own experience, what
was it!"

untitled for business for years. But did
not know what allied me. When, however,
found 1t was kidney difficulty, thought
there was little hope and so did the doctors.

clans Of this city pointed me out to a gem

to the principal cities, saw physicians pre-

suffering, to bring It within their reach, and

The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much i'm
pressed with the earnestness and sincerity
Of his statements, and next paid visit to
DR.. s. A. baltimore at his residence on
Prince street. DR.. baltimore, although
busilY engaged upon some matters connect
ed with the State Board Of Health, of which
he is one OF the analysts, courteously an
swered the questions that were propounded
him:
