Apparently It caused more commotion in
Rochester, as the following from the same
parer shows:
DR.. ]. B. Henion, who Is well known,
not only in Rochester, but in nearly every
part OF america, sent an extended article
10 this paper few days since, which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed to
oe 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
With this end In view q representative
OF this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his
residence 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 addi-
tion2l ones. Few people ever got 80 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 low2"

pie symptoms. | did not think was sick
1t Is true l 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 did not think it
meant anything serious"

or realize what ails them, and am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either"
That is strange statement, Doctor"
But 1t Is a true one. The medical pro-
fession, hGTS been treating symptoms
time it ceased. We doctors have been
clipping off the twigs when we should
strike at the root. The symptoms 1 have
just mentioned or any unusual action or
irritation of the water channels indicate
the approach of Bright's disease, even
more than q 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 re-
lieve the headache, stomach, pains about
the body or other symptoms, but go di-
rectly 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, DOctorH
"Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are tOrturing people day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one of its
many forms. 1t is a iydra-hehded mon
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, apopleSy,
heart disease, pneumonia. malarial fever
and other common complaints, which I
see now were caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at irst?'
Every one of them, and might have
been cured as I was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warnc Safe kidney
and Liver Cure. I 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 sub
ject If you want to know more about it

sick the same time rs !, and is the heal
thiest man in Rochester today. lie has
made study of this subject and can give
you more facts than l can. Co. too and
see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, ut the
University. If you want facts there are
any quantity of them, showing the alarm
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 reti
cent, but learning that the Information
desired was about the alarming increase OF
Brlghts disease, his manner changed in
stantly, and he spoke very earnestly.
at is true that Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find by rei-
q hi In cfn tiSf hat fl,0
its growth has been $50 per cent Look nj
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. II
should be plain to every one that some
thing mNst be done to check the increase
or there is no knowing where it may end "
DO you think many people are atti iicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
Warner"
"Hundreds OF thousands. I have a
striking example of this truth which has
Just come to my notice. A prominent
professor in New Orleans medical college
was ecturng before his class on the su ubject
OF Brghts disease. He had various fluids
under microscopic analysis, and was show
ing the students what the indications Of
TINS terrible ma lady were. In order to show
the contrast between healthy and unheal-
thy fluids he had provided q vial the con-
tents OF which were drawn from his own per-
son. And now, gentlemen he said, as we
have seen the unhealthy indications, will
show you how it appears in q state of per-
tect 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: Gentle
men, | have made painful discovery; !
have Brights disease of the Kidneys and
and In less than year he was dead"
You believe, then, that it has no
symptoms of its own, and is frequently
unknown even by the person who is
afflicted with it?"

very often none at all. Usually no two
people have the same symptoms, and fire.

You know Of DR.. Henion's case?'
eS; have both read and heard Of it ."
1t is very wonderful. is 1t not2"
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"
