EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The Commotion Caused by the Statements
of a Physician.

T., Democrat and Chronicle, was rcpublishedm
this paper recently, and has been subject Of
much conversation, both in professional circles
and on the street Apparently IL caused even
more commotion in Rochester, as the follow
ing from the same paper shows;
DIR. J. B. Heniou, who is well known not
only in Rochester but in nearly every part of
America, sent an extended article to this pa
per few days since, which was duly pub
lshed, detailing 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 ed
| itorial necessity.
With this end in view representative OF
this paper called on Dr. Heuion at his resi-
dence on st. Paul street, when the following
interview occurred: That article of yours,
Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind Are
the statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were rescued,
such as you can sustainY
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 it marvellous 1t
was Marvellous
How in the world did you, physician,
come TO be brought SO low!n
By neglectug the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think was sick. 1t is
true had frequent headaches; felt tired most
of the time; could eat nothing one day and
was ravcnous the next; felt dull indefinite
pains and my stomach out of order, but |
did not think IL meant anything serious.
" But have these common ailments anything
IL do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took so firm hold on you:n
"Anythingi Why, they are the sure indi-
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or real
lie what ails them, and am sorry to say that
too few physicians do either"
THAT is a strange statement, Doctor"
But it is a true one. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms instead of
diseases for years, audit 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 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-
ech, 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 from Bright's disease, is it Doc
torIn .... .
Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are tOrturing people to-day when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one OF its
.
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 sec now were caused by Brght's dis
easen
4 And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first ~
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 matterand 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 guand see Mr.. Warner himself.
He was sick the name as l. and is the health
4 lest man in Rochester to-day. He has made Il
study Of this subject and can give you more
! facts than can. Go, too, and see DR. Latti-
/ more, the chemist, at the University. If you
1 want facts there are any quantity of them
/ showing the alarming increase of Bright's dis
/ ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms, and
I 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 establish
ment on Exchange street. AT first Mr.. War
ner was inclined to be reticent, but learning
that the information desired was about the
alarming increase OF Bright's disease, his
manner changed instantly and he spoke very
/ earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease has in
! creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its growth
/ has been $50 per cent. Look at the prominent
men it has carried If: Everett, Sum e.,
Chase Wilson, Carpenter, bishop Haven and
Others. This Is terrible and shows greater
growth than that of any other known com
plant. 1t must be plain to every one that
something mist be done to check this increase
or there is no knowing where it may end.n
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
/ Warnerln
| Hundreds Of thousands. Ihave a striking
/ example of this truth which has Just come to
my notice. prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was leeturing before
his class on the subject of Bright's disease
/ He had various fluids undermicroscopic anay-
sis and was showing the students what the in
dications of this terrible maadY were. In
order to draw the contrast between healthy
| and unhealthy fluids he had provided a vial
! the contents of which were drawn from his
| own person, 'And now, gentlemen he said
as we have seen the unhealthy indications,
will show you how it appears in state of per-
feet health, and he submitted his own fluid to
/ the usual test. AS he watched the re3ults his
/ countenance suddenly changed-his color and
command both left him and in trembling
| voice he said: Gentlemen, / have made a
! painful discovery; Ihaye Bright's disease of
| the kidneys" and in less than year he was
| dead.n
"You believe then that it has no symptoms
of its own and is frequently unknown even by
! the person who is afflicted with itln
! :" 1t has no symptoms of its own and very
often none at all Usually notwo people have
the same symptoms, and frequently death is
the first symptom. The slightest indicat ions
OF any kidney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one. / know what | am
talking about for have been through all the
stages of kidney disease.n
"You know Of DR.. Henion's caseG''
eyes, ! have both read and heard Of it."
