EXCITEMENT in ROCHESTER,.
The Conamotion Caused by the Statement
of n Physician.

and on the street Apparently It caused even
more commotion in Rochester, as the follow
ing from the same paper shows:
DIR. J. b. Henion, who Is we'll 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. IL would be impossible to enumerate
the personal inquiries which have been made
at our Office as TO the validity Of the article,
bat they have been SO numerous that further
investigation of the subject was deemed an ed
itorial necessity. ft~1 III
With this end In view representative Of
this paper called on DR.. lIenion, 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 condition
you were In, and the way you were rescued,
such as you can sustalnV'
Every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as did and then return, and am not sur
prised that the public think IL marvellous. 1t
was marvellous
How in the world did YOU, a physician,
come TO be brought so lowf'
"Bv 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 nay stomach WIS out of order, but |
did not think II meant any thlng serious.
But have these common ailments anything
to DO with the fearful Bright's disease which
took so firm hold on Youn
"Anythin9l Why they are the sure ind-
cations of the first stages Of that dreadful
maady. The fact is, few people know or real
iZe what ails them, and am sorry to say that
too few physicians do either"
THAT Is a strange statement, Doctor"
But IL is true one. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms instead OF
diseases for years, and it is high time itceased
We doctors have been clipping off the twigs
when we should strike at the root. The symp-
toms have just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation of the water channels indi-
cate the approach of Brigbts 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, stom-
ach, 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 Doc
tore fn 8r.
Precisely. Thousands Of so-called dis
eases are tOrturing people to-day, when In
reality it is Bright's disease In some one of its
many RIrms. II is hydra-headed monster,
and the slightest symptoms should strike ter
ror to every one who has them. | can look
back and recall hundreds Of deaths which ply
sicians declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apoplexy heart disease, pneumonia,
malarial fever and other common complaints
which see now were caused by Bright's dis
ease
And aid all these cases have simple symp-
Every one OF them, and might have been
cured as | was by the timely use of the same
remedy - Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. ! am getting my eyes thoroughly

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
hpore about IL go and see Mr.. Warner himself.
Re was sick the Name |, and is the health
lest man in Rochester to-day. He has made a
study of this subject and can give you more
facts than | can. 60, too, and see DR.. Latti-
more, the chemist, at the University. II 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.. Warnerat his establish
ment on Exchange street At first Mr. War
ner was inclined to be reticent, but learning
that the information desired was about the
alarming increase Of Brght's disease, his
manner changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly:
1T is true that Bright's disease has I'm
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its growth
has been $50 per cent. Look at the prominent
men it has carried eff; Everett, Sumter,
Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and
Others. This is terrible aud shows greater
growth than that of any other known COM
plant. 1t must be plain to every one that
something must be done to check this increase
or there 10 no knowing where IL may end.n
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize IL, Mr..
Warnerl"
- Hundreds OF thousands Ihave striking
example OF this truth which has just come to
my notice. A prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing sbefore
his class on the subject of Brights disease.
He had various fluids under microscopic analy-
sis and was showing the students what the In
dications of this terrible malady were. In
order to draw the contrast between healthy
and unhealthy fluids he had provided vial
the contents OF which were drawn from his
own person. And now, gentlemen he said,
as We have seen the unhealthy Indications
will show you how 1t appears In a state of per-
feet health and he submitted his own fluid to
the usual test. AS he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his color aud
command both left him and in "a trembling
voice he said Gentlemen, / have made a
painful discovery; / have Brights disease OF
the kidneys" and In less than year he was
dead"
You believe then that IL has no symptoms
oi lts own anu ID frequently unknown even by
the person who is afflicted with itN'
" 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 indicat ons
of any kidney difficulty should be enough 10
strike terror to any one. | know what I am
talking about for have been through all the
stages of kidney disease"
''You know Of DR.. Henion's case!"
Eyes, have both read and heard of It."
at is very wonderful, Is il notp'
"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"
you believe then that Bright's disease can
be curedpi ~
