EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The COmm0tiOn Caused by the Statement
 of n PhYaicinn.

of a Physician.
 An unusual article from the Rochester, N Y., Democrat and Chronicle was republished in this paper recently, and has been the sub- ject of much conversation both in professional circles and on the street. Apparently it caused even more commotion in Rochester as the fol- lowing from the same paper shows:
 Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper 8 few days since which was duly published, de- tailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. 1t would be impossible to enumerate 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 necessity.
 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 statements about the terrible condition you were in, and t''H ~'ay you were rescued such as you can sus- tain?'
 'Every one of them and many additional ones. Few people ever get so near the grave as did and then return and I am not sur prised that the public think it marvellous. It was marvellous
 'sHow in the world did you, 8 physician come to be brought so low?"
 "By neglecing the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think was sick. It is tue I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ragenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains and my stomach was out of order, but did not thirk it meant anything serious"
 "But have these common ailments anything to do with the fearful Bright's disease which took so firm hold on you?'
 Anything? Why, they are the suIe indica- that m al dy. The fact is, few people know realize what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too few physicians do either."
 "That is strange statement, Doctor.''
 "But 1t is 8 true one.' The medical profess sion have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigs when we should strike at the root. The symp- toms have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indi- cate the approach of Bright's disease even more than a 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 relieve the headache, stom- ach, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source o1 most of these ailments.''
 "This, then, is what you meant when vol said that more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it, Doctor
 Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases
  is Bright's disease in some one of it's many forms. It is Hydra-hea monster, and the slightest symptom should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and re- time declared were caused by paralysis, apo plexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints, which l see now were caused by Bright's disease"
 ''And did all these cases have simple symp- toms at first ?"
 or,o nF nd oh cured as was by the timely use of the same remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Oure I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter, and think am helping others to Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and see MT. Warner himself He was sick the same as I. and is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made study of this subject and can give you more facts than can. Go, too, and see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. Ifyou want facts there are any quantity of them showing the alarming increase of Bright's disease, it's | simple and deceptive symp' oms, and that there is but one way in which it can be escaped" Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the | Doctors words, the reporter bade him good- day and called on Mir. Warner at his establish ment on Exchange street. At first MT. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learning that the information desired was about the alarm NASOeo0g changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly: l t'It is true that Brights disease has in creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that in the past ten years it's growth has been 25O per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and | others. This is terrible and shows 8 greater 1 growth than that of any other known com | plaint It must be plain to every one that something must be done to check this increase l ia no kno i ma | "Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, MT. Warner ?"
 Hundreds of thousands. 1 have 8 striking | example of this truth which has just come to leans medical college was featuring before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He | had various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the indica- | tions of this terrible malady were. In order to | draw the contrast between healthy and un- healthy fluids he had provided vial, the con- ] tents of which were drawn from his own per | son. And now, gentlemen he said, 'as we have seen ths unhealthy indications, I will | show you how it appears in & state of perfect health,' and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed-his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: Gentlemen, have made pain full discovery; have Biight's disease of the kidneys,' and in lesS than 8 year he was dead.

 "lt has no symptoms of it's own and very often none at all. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death i. the first symptom. Tue slightest indications o any kidney difficulty should be enough to strik' terror to any one. know what am talking about, for have been through all the stages O kidney disease"
 "You know of Dr. Henion's case?'
 r hay
 "It is very wonderful, is it not ?"
 A very prominent case, but no more so thar great many others that have come to my no tice as having been cured by the same means.
 "You believe, then, that Bright's disease cal be cured"
 "I know it can. know it from the expert ence of hundreds of prominent persons wht were given up to die by both their physician en1 friends"
 "You speak of your own experience, wha was it 2'
 A fearful one. had felt languid and un fitted for business for years. But did no know what ailed me. When, however, fount it was kidney difficulty I thought there wa since learned that one of the physicians of thi city pointed me out to gentleman on th street one day, saying: fThere goes @ man wh will be dead within year. believe hi words would have proven true if had not for tunately secured and used the remedy nov known as Warmers Safe Kidney and Live Cure"
 '.And this caused you to manufacture it7
 ''No, it caused me to investigate. went the principal cities with Dr. Craig, the discoy erer, and saw the physicians prescribing an using it, and saw that Dr. Craig was unable with his facilities, to supply the medicine thousands who wanted it. I therefore deter mined, as duty owed humanity and th suffering, to bring it within their reach, an now it is known in every part of America sold in every drug store and has become household neces ,ity."
 The reporter left MT. Warner, much in pressed with the earnestness and sincerity ( his statements and next paid visit to Dr. A, Lattimore at his residence on Prince street
