THE FLOWER CITY FUkORE.
The Commotlon Caused by the Statement
of IA Physician.

oil much conversation both IN professional
circles and on the street Apparently 10
caused 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 every part Of
America, sent an extended article to this pa
per- few days since which was duly pub
lshed, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death 1t would be impossible 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
investigation of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity
this paper called on DIR. Henion, at his resi-
dence on ST. Paul street. when the following
interview occurred: THAT article of yours,
Doctor, has created quite whirlwind. Are
the statements about the terrible con litiun
you were in, and the way you were rescued
such as you can sustain"
Every one Of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as did and then return, and | aIn not sur
prised that the public think it marvellous. 1t
was marvellous"
How in the world did you, a physician,
come to be brought so lowm
By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think 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 ANYTHING
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took SO firm hold on yout"
Anything Why, they are the sure in1i-
cations of the first stages OF that dreadful
malady. The fact Il, lew 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 true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms instead
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 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 coCgh, but try to help the lungs. We
should not waste our time trying to relieve
the 'ache, stomach, pains about the body
or o TInptoms, but go directly to tie kid
neys, "a 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 Brights disease, is it doctorm
Precisely. Thousands OF so-called diseases
are torturing people to-day, when in reality it
Is Brights disease in some one of its many
forms. 1t is a Hydra he aded monster, and the
slightest symptoms should strike terror to ev-
cry 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 common complaints which l
see now were caused by Bright's disease
And did all these cases have simple syInp-
toms at firstf'
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. | am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened in this matter and think am helping
Others to see the facts and their possible dan
ger also. Why there are no end of truths
bearing on this subject. II you want to know
more about 1t go and see Mr.. Warner himself
He was sick the same as /, and is the healthi-
est man in Rochester to-day lie has made
study OF this subject and can give YOU more
facts than l can. Go, too, and see DIR. Iatti-
more, the chemist at the University. If you
want Facts there are any quantity OF them
showing the alarming increase of Bright's dis
ease, 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 babe him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first Mr. War
ner was inclined to be retcent but learning
that the information desired was about the
alarming increase of Brlghts disease, his
manner changed instantly and he spoke very
earnest,Y
at is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that In the past ten years its growth
men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner,
Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and
Others. This is terrible, and shows a greater
growth than that of any other known COM
plant. 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 m my people are afflicted with
It to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner?n
Hundreds OF thous 'nds. l havea striking
example OF this truth which has just come to
Z m not A ,fr., T.
Orleans me lical college was lecturing before
his class on the subject of Bright's disease.
He had various fluids under microscopic
analysis, and was showing the students what
the indications OF this terrible nalady were.
In order to show the contrast between healthy
and unhealthy fluids, he had provided a vial
the contents of which were drawn from his
own person. Aud now, gentlemen he said.
AS we have seen the unhealthy indications,
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 a trem-
bling voice he said: Gentlemen, have made
painful discovery; have Bright's disease of
the Kidneys 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,"
1T has no symptoms of its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people have
the same symptoms, and frequently death is
the first symptom. The slightest indications
OF any kidney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one. know what ] am
talking about, for l have been through all the
stages of kidney disease
You know of DIR. Henion's casem
"Yes, | have both read and heard of it,"
at is very wonderful, is 1t notl"
"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.n
