The ComsnOtIOn Caused 10y tEc
statement of II Physician.


An unusual article from the Roches-
ter. N. y, Democrat and Chronicle,
was published in this paper recently
and has been the subject of much con-
versation both in professional circles
and on the street. Apparently 1t caus-
ed more commotion in Rochester, as
The following from the same paper
shows:
DIR. j. B. Henion, who is well known
not only in Rochester, but In nearly
eyerv part of America, sent an ex-
tended article to this paper, few days
since which was duly published, Tce-
failing his remarkable experience ana
rescue from what seemed TO be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to
enumerate the personal enqliries winch
have been made at our Off e as to the
validity of the article, but they have
been SO numerous that further lnveStl-
CATION of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view representa-
tive of this paper called on Dr. Henlon,
at bis 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 the way you were
rescued such as you can sustain Z"
EVERY one of them and many ad-
ditional ones. Few people ever get so
near the grave as | 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 so low :"
'By neglecting the first and most
simple symptoms. did not think l
was sick. 1T is true / had frequent
headaches; felt tired most ofthe time
could eat nothing one day aad was
ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite
pains and my stomach was out Of order,
but did not think it meant anything
serious
"But have these common ailments
ANYTHING to do with the fearfal Bright's
disease which took so firm a hold on
you?" A
aAnything? Why, they are the
sure indications 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 y
''That is strange statement,
Doctor"
"But it is true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptom
instead of diseases for years, and it sis
high time it ceased We doctors have
been clipping of the twigs when We
should strike at the root. The symp-
toms | have just mentioned or any un-
sual action or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach OF
Bright's disease even more thar q
cough announces the coming of con-
sumption. 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 direct
ly to the kidneys, the source OF most of
these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant
when you said that more than one-balf
the deaths which occur arise from
Bright's disease, is it doctcr?"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called
diseases are torturing people to-day,
when in reality it is Bright's disease
in some one of it's many forms. 1t is
a Hydra-headed 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, malarial
fever and other common complaints
which I see now were caused by
Bright's disease"
"And did all the cases have simple
symptoms at first ?"
every one of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warner' 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 Fl
you want to know more about il so and
see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick
the same as /, AID 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. baltimore, the chemist,
at the University. II you want facts
there are any quantity Of them showiog
he alarming ia;rel;, Of B:;sht's dis
ease, its simple and deceptive symp-
toms, and that there is but one way by
which it can be escaped I"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force
of the Doctors words, the reporter bade
him good day and called on Mr. War
ner at his establishment on Exchange
street. At first Mr. Warner was in ;
clined to be reticent but learning that ,
the information desired was about the
increase of Bright's disease,
his manner changed instantly and he
spoke very earnestly:
at is true that Dright's disease has .
increased wonderfully, aud we fod, by
statistics, that in the past ten
years its growth has been $50 per cent
Look at the prominent men it has car !
ried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase,
Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and
others This is terrible, aud shows
greater growth than than that of any ke
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"
-"Do you think many people are
afflicted with it to-day who do not A.,
realize it, Mr. Warner?" :
Hundreds of thousands. | have !.

has just come to my notice. A prom :
