The Commotion Caused by the Statement
of Physician.

An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
Y, Democrat and Chronicle, was published In
this paper recently and has been the subject
OF much conversation both in professional
circles and on the street. Apparently 1t
caused 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 pa
per, few days since which was duly pub
lished, 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.
With this end in view representative of
this paper called on DIR. Henon, at his resi-
dence on st. Paul street, when the following
Interview occurred: THAT article of yours,
Doctor, has created quite whirlwind. Are
you were in, and the way you were rescued
such as you can sustaini"
every one Of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as l did and then return, and ! am not sur.
prised that the public think 1t marvellous. 1t
was marvellous"
"How In the woNd did you physician,
come to be brought SO Iowa"
"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
did not think it meant anything serious.n
"But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took SO firm hold on yOu!"
"Anythingi Why, they are the sure indi-
cations of the first stages Of that dreadful
malady. The fact Is, 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 1t is q true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms instead
OF diseases for years, and 1t Is high time It
ceased. We doctors have been clipping oil
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 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 kid
neys the source OF most OF these ailments"
"Ths, 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"
"Precisey Thousands OF so-called diseases
are torturing people to-day, when In reality IT
Is Brights disease In some one OF Its many
forms. IL is q Hydra headed monster, and the
slightest symptoms should strike terror to ev-
cry 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, maarial
lever and other common complaints which
see now were caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at frsti"
"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 IL go and see Mr. Warner himself.
He was sick the same as /, and is the healthi
study Of this subject and can give YOU more
facts than can Go, too. and see Dr. Iatti

Fully satisfied Of the truth and force Of th.
! Doctors words, the reporter bade him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first Mr. War
ner was inclined TO be retlcent, but learning
| that the information desired was about tn,
alarming increase Of Bright's disease. hi
manner changed instantly and he spoke ysrl
earnestly:
"It Is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that In the past ten years its growtl
has been $50 per cent. Look at the prominen
men 1t has carried off; Everett, Sumner
Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven ant
others. This Ia terrible, aud shows a create
growth than that of any other known com
plant. II should be plain 10 every ono tina
