EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The COmmOti0n Caused by tho state
ment OF n PhysieiaA.

/ n. y, Democrat and Chronicle was re-
published in this paper yesterday and was
a subject of much conversation in this
city during the day, both in professio nal
circles and on the street. Apparently il
caused even more commotion in Roches-
ter, as the following 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, a few 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 personal enquiries
which have been made at our Office as to
he validity of the article, but they have
been 80 numerous that further inyestipa-
ton of the subject was deemed an editori-
al necessity.
With this end in view representative
Of this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his
residence on st. Paul street, when the fol-
lowing 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 a. you can
sustain ?"
Every one of them, and many addi-
tional ones. Few people ever get 30 near
the grave as l did and then return, and /
am not surprised that the public think it
marvellous. 1t was marvellous"
How in the world did you. physician.
come to be brought 80 low"
by neglecting the first and most sim
pie symptoms. l did not think | was
sick. 1t is true had frequent headaches
felt tired most of the time: could eat
nothing one day and was ravenous the
next; felt duh, indefinite pains and my
stomach was out of order, but / did not
think it meant anything serious"
But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's dis
ease 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 l an,
sorry to say that too few physicians do,
either"
THAT is strange statement, Doctor
but it is true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptoms
instead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors h.ve been
clipping off the twigs when We should
strike at the root. The symptoms have
Just mentioned or any unusual action OF
, irritation of the water channels indicate
the approach of Bright's disease even
more than a cough announces the com; ne
of consumption. We do not treat tn.
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 20 d.
rectly to the kidneys, the source of mos
of these ailments.
This, then, is what you meant wher
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Bripht's
disease, is it Doctor?
Precisely. Thousands of so-callet
diseases are torturing people to-day, wber
in reality it is Bright's disease in some Of
;ts many forms. 1t is a hydra-headet
monster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them
| can look back and recall hundreds Of
deaths which physicians declared at the
time were caused by paralysis apoplexy
heart disease, pneumonia, malaral fever
and other common complaints which sec
now were caused by Bright's disease,
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first p
4 every one of them, and might have
been cured as / was by the timely use OF
the sane remedy-Warner' Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. | am getting my ives
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. If you want TO know more about
it 20 and see Mr.. Warner himself. He
was sick the same as |. and is the health
lest man in Rochester to-day. He has
made a study of this subject and can give
you more facts than | can Go, too, and
see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at the
University. If you want facts there are
any quantity Of them showing the alarm
ing increase of Bright's disease, its sim
pie and deceptive symptoms, and that
there is hut one way by which il 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 6rst Mr.. Warner was inclined to be
reticent, but learning that the informa-
ton desired was about the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly;
1T is true that Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by re-
liable statistics. that in the past ten years
its growth has been $50 per cent Look
at the prominent men it has carried off,
| Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpen-
ter, Bishop Haven and others. This is
terrible and shows greater growth than
that of any other known complaint. 1t
must be plain to every one that something
must be done to check this increase or
there is no knowing where it may end"
do you think many people are afflict-
ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
Mr.. Warner"
Hundreds of thousands ! have a
striking example of this truth which has
| lust come to my notice. A prominent
professor in Now Orleans medical col
iege was occurring before his class on the
subject of Bright's disease. He had vari-
GUS fluids under microscopic analysis and
was showing the students what the indi.
cations Of this terrible maIady were. In
order to draw the contrast between healthy
and unhealthy fluids he had provided
vial the contents Of which were drawn
from his own person. And now, gentle
