parently it caused more commotion in
Rochester, az the following from the
same paper shows
DR.. j. b. Henion, who is well known
not only in Roche ster, but in nearly every
part of America. sent an extended article
to this paper, lew days since, which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to enumerate the enquiries which have
been made at our Office az 80 the validity
of the article, but they have been SO nu-
merous that further investigation of the
subject was deemed an editorial necessi-
ty.
With this end IN view representative
of this paper called on DR.. Henion, at
his residence on st. Paul street, when the
following interview occurred.
That article of yours, doctor, has
created quite whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in. and the way you were rescued

But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the dreadful Bright's
disease which took SO firm hold on
you?"
Anything? Why, they are the sure
indications of the first stages of that
dreadful 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 a strange statement, Doctor
But il is true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptoms

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?"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called
diseases are torturing people to-day, when
in reality it is Bright's disease in some
one of its many forms. 1t is HYDRA
headed monster, and the slightest symp-
toms should strike terror to every one
who has them. l can look back and re-
call hu udreds of deaths which physicians
declared at the time were caused by pa

MIA, malarial fever and other common
complaints which see row were caused
by Bright's disease"

ing 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 the
force of the Doctors words, the reporter
babe him good day and called on Mr..
Warner at his establishment on Exchange
street. At first Mr.. Warner was inclined
to be reticent, but learning that the in
formation desired was about the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly.
1T is true that Brght's disease has in
creased wonderfully. and we find by reli-
able statistics, that in the past ten years
its growth has been $50 per cent. Look

there is no knowing where it may end"
DO you think many people are afiiict-
ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
Mr.. Warner"
Hundreds of thousands. | have a
striking example of this truth which has
come to my notice. A prominent profess
or in New Orleans medical college was
featuring before bis class on the subject
Of Brighi.s disease. He had various
fluids under microscopic analysis, and
was showing the students what the indi-
cations OF this terrible madady were. In
order to show the contrast between healthy
and unhealthy fluids, he had provided a
vial the contents of which were drawn
from his own person. And now, gentle
men, he said, as we have seen the un-
healthy Indications, | will show you how
1t appears in state of perfect health,
and he submitted his own fluid TO the US
nal test. As he watched the results his
ceuntenance suddenly charged-his color
