THE FLOWER CITY FURORE.
The COmmOti0n Caused by the Statement o
"a Physician.

sional circles and on the street. Apparently
it caused more commotion in Rochester, as
the following from the same paper shows
DR.. B. Henion, 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
| hshed, 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
| editorial necessity.
this paper called on DR.. Henion, 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 sustainP
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"
Chow in the world did you, physician,
| come to be brought so low?"
''By neglecting the first and most simple
| symptoms. l did not think l was sick. 1t
is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time, could eating nothing one
/
| definite pains and my stomach was out of
order, but l did not think it meant anything
| serious"
''But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Brights disease
| which took so firm hold on your"
Anything? Why, they are the sure indi-
| cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is few people know or
realize what ais them, and [ am sorry to say
that too few physicians do either"

But it is true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
| stead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been clip
| ping off the twigs when we should strike at
| the root. The symptoms have Just men
| toned or any unusual action or irritation of
| the water channels indicate the approach of
| Bright'S disease even more than a cough an
nounces 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, stomach, 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,
| doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
| eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one of
| 1US many 1OrIuS. Ii Is d yuTd-n6du6u uOu-
| ster, and the slightest symptoms should
| strike terror to every one who has them. L
| can look back and recall hundreds of deaths
| which physicians declared at the time were
| caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other com
| mon complaints which l see now were caused
| by Brights disease
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
| toms at first %
every one of them, and might have been
| cured as l was by the timely use of the same
remedy-Warner'S Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly
| opened in this matter and think l am help
ing 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 go and see Mr.. War
ner 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
youmore facts than Fcan. Go, too, and see DR..
| baltimore, the chemist, at the University.
| If you want facts there are any quantity of
them showing the alarming 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 force of
the doctors words, the reporter bade 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 information desired was
about the alarming increase of Bright's
disease, his manner changed instantly and
he spoke very earnestly:
1T 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 off: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carrenter, Bishop
Haven and others. This is terrible, and
shows greater growth than that of any
other known complaint. 1t should be plain
to every one that something must be done to
check this increase or there is no knowing
where it may end"
F'Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. l have a
striking example of this truth which has just
come to my notice. A prominent professor
in New Orleans medical college was lee
turing before his class on the subject of
Bright's disease. He had various fluids un-
der microscopic analysis, and was showing
the students what the indications of this
terrible malady were. In order to show
the contrast between healthy and un-
healthy 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 indica-
tons, will show you how it appears in a
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 trembling voice he said: Gentlemen, l
have made painful discovery; I have
B1ghts disease of the Kidneys and in less
than year he was dead"
You believe, then, that it has no symp-
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with it?"
" 1t has no symptoms of its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently
death bn eli
indications of any kidney difficulty should be
enough to strike terror to any one. | know
what l am talking about, for l have been
through all the stages of kidney disease"
You know of Dr. Henion's case?"
"Yes, I have both read and heard of it."
g 1t is very wonderful is it not?"
"a very prominent case but no more so
than great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cured by the same
MEANS"
" You believe, then, that Bright's disease
can be cured?"
81 know it can. know it from the ex-
perience of hundreds of prominent persons
who were given up to die by both their ply
sicians and friends"
You speak of your own experience, what
was it?''
"a fearful one. I had felt languid and
untitled for business for years. But did not
know what allied me. When, however,
found it was kidney difficulty I
thought Uner6 was uUUI6 nope, ana so Q1Q
the doctors. have since learned that one
of the physicians of this city pointed
me out to gentleman on the
street one day, saying: There goes a
man who will be dead within year. be-.
ieve his words would have proven true if 1
had not fortunately secured and used the
remedy now known as Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure"
"And this caused you to manufacture it?'
g No it caused me to investigate. 1 went
to the principal cities, saw physicians pre-
Scrlblng and using 1t, and L therefore deter
mined, as a duty [ owed humanity and the
to bring it within their reach, and !
now 1t is known IN every part of America,
is sold in every drug store and has become a
household necessity"
The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much i'm
pressed with the earnestness and sincerity of |
his statements and next paid visit to DR.. |
S. A. baltimore, at his residence on Prince |
street. DR.. baltimore, although busily en- |
gagged upon some matters connected with |
the State board of health, of which he is |
one of the analysts, courteously answered |
the questions that were propoundedh him:
Ibid you make chemical analysis of the |
case of Mr.. HI. H. Warner some three years
ago, doctor?'
" Yes, sir"
"What did this analysis show you?'
"The presence of albumen and tube casts
in great abundance"
q And what did the symptoms indicator"
ga serious disease of the kidneys"
Did you think Mr.. Warner could re-
cover?''
"No, sir l did not think it possible. 1t
was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a
case had up to that time ever been cured"
4" Do you know anything about the remedy
which cured him ?''
g Yes, l have chemically analysed it and
upon critical examination find it entirely
free from any poisonous or deleterious sub
stances"
