EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,
THE CONNECTION CAUSED BY THE STATE
MENT OF A PHYSICIAN.


sional circles and on the street. Appar-
emily it caused even more commotion in
Rochester, 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, few days since which was
! duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
| to be certain death. 1t would be impos-
! sible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our Office as to
| the validity of the article, but they have
been so numerous that further investiga-
ton Of the subject was deemed an editor
| ial necessity.
With this end in view a representative
of this paper called ON DR.. Henion, at his
residence on st. Paul street, when the
| following interview occurred s'That arti-
Gle 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?''
every one of them and many addition
al ones. Few people ever get so near the
grave as 1 did and then return, and 1 am
not surprised that the public think it mar
Vicious. 1t was marvellous
elbow in the world did you, physi-
| clan, come to be brought so low?"
| 'tBy neglecting the first and most SIM
| pie symptoms. l did not think 1 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
dull indefinite 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 Bright's dis
| ease which took so firm hold on your"
Anything? Why, they are the sure in
| dicationS of the first stages of that dread
| full malady. The fact is, few people know
| or realize what ais them, and / am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either
''That is strange statement, Doctor"
''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
| clipping off the twigs when we should
strike at the root. The symptoms l have
| just mentioned or any unusual action or
| irritation Of the water channels indicate
the approach of Brights disease even
more than a 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, 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
| To
| in reality it is Bright's disease in some one
of its 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, apo
pleXy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial
| fever and other common complaints which
Isee now were caused by Bright's disease"
''And did all these 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's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. 1 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. If you want to know more about
it go and see Mr.. Warner himself. He
was sick the same as /, and is the health
est 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. If you want facts there are
any quantity of them showing the alarm
ing increase of Bright's disease, its simple
and deceptive symptoms, and that there
is but one way 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
establishment on Exchange street. At
first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reti-
cent, but learning that the information
desired was about the alarming increase
of Bright's disease, his manner changed
instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
sit is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reli-
able 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 affiict-
/ ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
, DR.. Warner?"
sHundreds of thousands. I have a
striking example of this truth which has
just come to my notice. A prominent
professor in a New Orleans medical col
lege was lecturing before his class on the
subject of Bright's disease. He had vari-
/ Gus fluids under microscopic analysis and
1 | was showing the students what the indi-
cations of this terrible malady were In
order to draw the contrast between healthy
and unhealthy fluids he had provided a
| vial the contents of which were drawn
n from his own person. And now, gentle
men, he said, las we have seen the un-
healthy indications, l will show you how
i it appears in state of perfect health,
!. and he submitted his own fluid to the u.s.
: ual test. As he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his color
and command both left him and in a trem
i, bling voice he said: Gentlemen, / have
4 made a painful discovery, have Bright's
: disease of the Kidneys and in less than {
year he was dead"
n ''You believe then that it has no symp
n toms of its own and is frequently unknown
= even by the person who is afflicted will
