Tho o~onmeas9 { cfps Sy: b the Statement
An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
T., Democrat and Chronicle, was republished
in this paper recently, and has been the SUBJ
ject OF much conversation both in professional
circles and on the street. Apparently 1t caused
even more commotion in Rochester, as the fol-
lowing from the same paper shows:
DR.. ]. B. Henion, who Is well known not
only in Rochester but in nearly every part OF
America. sent an extended article to this paper
o few days since which was duly published, de-
failing 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, but they have
been 40 numerous that further investigation Of
The subject vas deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end In view q representative OF this
paper called on Dr.. Henion, at his residence on
s.. Paul street, when the following interview
occurred: "That article OF yours. Doctor, has
created quite q whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such Is you can sus-
tain"
LIVERY one OF them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get 30 near the grave
as | did and then return, and I am not sur
prised that the public think 1t marvellous 1t

come to be brought 80 low"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. Ibid not think I was sick. 1t is
true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most
OF the time; could eat nothing one day and was
rayenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains
and my stomach was out Of order, but I did not
think it meant anything serious"
"But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took 80 firm . hold on you 2"
"Anything? Why, they are the SUE indica-
tions OF the first stages Of that dreadful mala-
d7, The fact is, few people know or realize
what ais them, and I am sorry to say that too
few physicians do either"
"That is q strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is 9 true one. Til medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms instead Of
diseases for years, and 1t is high time it ceased.
We doctors have been clipping of the twigs
when We should strike at the root. The symp-
toms I have just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation OF the water channels indi-
cate the approach Of Bright's disease even
more than a 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 20 directly to the kidneys, the source OF
most of these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant when yon
said that more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from BrIght's disease, is it, Doctor 2
'Precisely. Thousands of so-caled diseases
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 monster, and the
slightest symptom should strike terror to every
one who has them. I can look back and re-
call hundreds of deaths which physicians at the
time declared were caused by paralysis, apo,
pleIy, heart disease, pneumonia, malaria!
fever and other common complaints, which
see now were caused by Brights disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first ?"
every one OF them, and might have been
cured as I was by the timely use OF tho same
remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in
this matter, and think I am helping others to
see the facts and their possible danger also.
Why, there are no end OF truths bearing on fhis
subject. II you want to know more about 1t
20 and see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick
the same as I. and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made q study OF
this subject and can give you more facts man
I can. Go, too, and see Dr.. baltimore, the
chemist, at the University. Ifyou want facts
the.o are any quantity of them showing tho
alarming increase Of Bright's disease, its
simple and deceptive symp;oms, and that there
is but one way in which it can be escaped,
Fully satisfied of the truth and force OF tho
Doctors words, the reporter babe him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first Mr.. Warner
was inclined to be ~reticent, but learning. that
the information desired was about the alarm
ing increase Of Bright's disease, BIZ manner
changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
ut is true that Bright's disease has in
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 1t 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 must 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 many people are afflicted with
it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner 2"
"Hundreds of thousands. I have o striking
example Of this truth which has just come to
my notice. A prominent professor in a New Or
leans medical college was lecturing before his
class on the subject of Bright's disease. He
had various fluids under microscopic analysis,
duQ WAS buOHluS t1lo toooA VAAos sAo -
tions OF this terrible mslady were. In order to
draw the contrast between healthy and un-
healthy 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, I will
show you how 1t appears in o 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 trembling
voice he said: Gentlemen, I have made q pain
full discovery; I have Brights disease of the
Kidneys and in lees than a year he was dead
'rYou believe, then, that it has no symptoms
of its OWL, and is frequently unknown even by
the person who is afflicted with it"
ait has no symptoms of its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people have
the same symptoms, and frequently death il
the first symptom. The slightest indications Of
any kidney difficulty should be enough to etrike
terror to any one. I know what l am talking
about, for I have been through all the stages Of
kidney disease"
"You know Of DR.. Henion's case?

alt is very wonderful, is it not |"
"A very prominent case, but no more 80 than
q great many others that have come to my no.
tice as having been cured by the same means.'
"You believe, then, that Bright's disease car
be cured"
az know it can. I know 1t from the expert.
ence of hundreds Of prominent persons who
were gir"n up to die by both their physicians
and frieu>'s."
"Yous! K of your own experience, wha,

"a fearful one. l had felt languid and I'm.
fitted for business for years. But I did moi
know what allied me. When, however, I found
it was kidney difficulty l thought there was
little hope, and 80 did the doctors. I have
since learned that one of the physicians Of this
city pointed mi out to q gentleman on the
street one day, saying: There goes . man who
will be dead within a year, / believe his
words would have proven true II I had not for.
tunately secured and used the remedy now
known as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure"
"Aud this caused you to manufacture 1t I"
'No, it caused me to investigate. I went to
the principalrities with DR.. Craig, the discov-
using il, and saw that DR.. Craig was unable,
with his facilities, to supply the medicine To
thousands who wanted it. I therefore deter
mined, as q duty I owed humanity and the
suffering, to bring it within their reach, and
now it il known in every part Of America, is
cold in every drug store and has become q
household neces ,ity."
Tho reporter lett Mr. Warner, much I'M
pressed with the earnestness and sincerity Of
his statements, and next paid q visit to DR.. 8.
A. baltimore OF his residence on Prince street.
DR.. baltimore, although busily engaged on
some matters connected with the State Board
of Health, Of which he is one of the a~nalyst,,
icourteously answered the questions that i"er'
propounded to him:
'Did you make q chemical analysis Of the
case Of Mr.. H. q. Warner some three year
ago, Doctor?"
"Yes, sir"
"What did the analysis show youP
'The presence Of albumen and tube casts II
great abundance"
"And what did the symptoms indicate ?"
"a serious disease Of the kidneys."
"Did you think MIR. Warner could recover
"No, str: l did not think it possible. 1t was
seldom, indeed, that 80 pronounced a case had,
up to that time, ever been cured"
"Do you know anything about the remedy
which cured him Z"
"Yes, I have chemically analysed it, and
upon critical examination find it entirely free
from any poisonous or de!eterious substances. "
