of . Physician. ~
An unusual article from the Rochester n.
Y. Democrat and Chronicle, was repuoiisnedin
this paper recently, and has been suo]ecto
much conversation, both in professional circles
and ON the street. Apparently IT caused even |
more commotion in Rochester, as the iolo"-
ing from the same paper shows:
DIR. j. B. Henion, who is well known not
only in Rochester but in nearly every ha ;s ro
America, sent an extended article 10 TINS pa
per few DAYS since, which was duiy pun
fished, detailing his remarkable experiences
and rescue from what seemed 10 DC ccl IAN
DEATH 1t would be impossible TO enuheIaso
the personal inquiries which have Deeh niaue
at our Office as to the yaiidlty.ol Inc s,rther
but they have been so numerous that iu..n J
Investigation of the subject was deemed an GU
itorial necessity.
With this end in view representative OF
this paper called on DR.. HcDion, at ms resi-
dence 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 the way you were rescued
EVERY one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as did and then return, and am not sur.
prised that the public think 1t marvellous !"
was marvellous"
"How in the world did you, physician
come to be brought so low"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms / did not think was sick IL Is
of the time; could eat nothing one day ana
was ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite
mains and nv stomach was out OF order, but
did not think it meant nything serious.
"But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Brghts disease which
II a~x~> h<l1 Won
"Anythingl Why, they are the sure fndi,
cations of the first stages OF that dreadIui
malady. The fact Is, few people know or real
ize what ails them, and l am try to say that
too few physicians do either"
"That is q strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is true one. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms instead OF
diseases for years, andit is high time deceased.
We doctors have been clipping OIL 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 q 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 OF
most of these ailments."
"This. then, is what you meant when you
said that more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise froL Bright's disease, Is it Doc
torl'
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one OF its
many forms. It IL hydra-headed monster,
and the slightest symptoms should strike ter
ror to every one who has them. can look
back and recall hundreds of deaths which ply
sicians declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia,
| malarial fever and other common complaints
which l see now were caused by Bright's dis
ease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
| toms at frstl"
"Every one of them, and might have been
cured as / was by the timely use Of the same
remedy : Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. / am getting my eyes thoroughly
| opened in this matter and think am helping
others to see the facts and their possible
danger also. Why, there are no end OF truths
bearing on this subject. II You want to know
more about it go and see Mr. Warner himself
| He was sick the same as l, and is the health
lest man in Rochester to-day. He has made
study of this subject and can give you more
more, the chemist, at the University. II you
want facts there are any quantity Of them
! showing the alarming increase of Bright's dis
ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms, and
that there IS but one way by which It can b
escaped" ~ SO
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the
Doctors words, the reporter babe him good
day and called on Mr. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first MIR. War
ner was inclined to be reticent, but learning
that the information desired was about thu
alarming increase of Bright's disease, hi,
manner changed instantly and he spoke yer,
earnestly: ttH
at is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliabl,
statistics, that in the past ten years its growtl
has been go per cent Look r at the prSmnen
Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven ana
others. This is terrible and shows CREATE
growth than that of any other known com
plant. 1t must be plain to every one tina
something must be done to check this increase
or there il no knowing where 1t may end"
"Do you think many people are Athlete
with it to-day who do not realize it, Nj
Warnerl"
Hundreds Of thousands. have strikin
example of this truth which has Just come 3
my notice. A prominent professor in Ne'
Orleans medical college was lecturing befor
his class on the subject of Bright's disease
He had various fluids under microscopic analy
sis and was showing the students what the in
dications of this terrible malady were. Il
order to draw the contrast between health
and unhealthy fluids he had provided a via
the contents Of which were drawn from 81
own person. And now, gentlemen he said
as we have seen the unhealthy indications,
VIII show you how it appears in state Of pei
feet health, and he submitted his own fluid :
the usual test. As he watched the results hi
countenance suddenly changed-his color an
command both left him and in tremblin
voice he said: Gentlemen, have made
painful discovery; Ihave Bnght's disease Q

dead"
"You believe then that IL has no symptom
of fits own and is frequently unknown even b

. often none at all. Usually no two people hay
the same symptoms, and frequently death

Of any kidney difficulty should be enough :
