THE FLOWER CITY FURORE.
The Commotion Caused by the Statement c

1t caused more cOmmotlOn Ill Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows:
 Dr. r.J.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 Iished. detailing lis remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It 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 representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his resi- dence on St. Paul street. when the following interview occurred: "Tllat article of yours, doctor, has created quite a whirtwind.. Are the statements about inc terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as you can susalnT
 "Every one of them and many additional ones. Few people ever get so near the grave IS did and then return, and am not sur prised that the public think it marvellous. It was marvellous"
 "How in the world did you, physician, come to be brought so low?"
 By regiecting the first and most simple symptoms. l did not think was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time, could eating nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull ln- 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 Bright's 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 ails them, and am sorry to say that too few physicians do either."
 "That is strange statement, doctor"
 "But it is a true one. The medical pro- fession have been treating symptoms in stead of diseases for years, and 1t is high time 1t ceased. We doctors Lave been clip ping off the twigs when we should strike at the root. The symI toms have just men toned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of brght's disease even more than 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 If 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 1t is Bright's disease in some one of it's many forms. It is hydra-headed 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, ,apoplexy, heart disease, | pneumonia, malarial fever and other com | mon complaints which l see now were caused | by Bright's disease"
 "And did all these cases have simple symp- l toms at first p
 "Every one of them, and might have been | cured as was by the timely use of the same l oa1y KIHneu | Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly | opened in this matter and think l am help l ing others to sec the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end o1 truths bearing on this subject. If you want l to know more about 1t go and see MT. War l ner himself. He was sick the same as l, ano | is the healthiest man ill Rochester to-day. He | has m de a study of this subject and can give you more fac. S than can. Go, too, and see Dr | Lattinore, the chemist, at the University l If you want facts there are any quantity o chem showing the alarming increase o1 Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive | symptoms, and that there IS but one way b, | which 1t can be escaped"
 Fully satisfied of the truth and force O. ,lhe doctors words, the reporter bade hin good-day and called on Mr. Warner at hi | establishment on Exchange street. At frs MT. Warner was inclined to be reticent bu | learning that the information desired wa about the alarming increase of Bright disease, his manner changed instantly an' he spoke very earnestly:
 creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliabl statistics, that in the past ten years 1t growth has been 25O per cent, Look at tn prominent men 1t has carried of: Everett Haven and others. This is terrible, ant shows a greater growth than that of an other known complaint. It should be plai to every one that something must be done t check this increase or there is no knowins where it may end"
 Do you think many people are afflicte 1 with it to-day who do not realize 1t, Nil l Warner?"
 Hundreds of thousands. I have
 striking example of this truth which has jus come to my notice. A prominent professo | III a New Orleans medical college was lec turing Eefore his class on the subject C

"Yes, have both read and heard of it" It is very wonderful, is it not?' , "A very prominent case but no more
