An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
Y, Democrat and Cironicls, was rcohblished
In this paper recently, and has BEEN he sub
ject of much conversation both In pt essional
oircles and on the street. Apparently h caused
even more commotion in Rochester, as the fol-
lowing from the same paper shows.
DR.. ]. b. Henion, who IL well known not
| only In Rochester but In nearly every part OF
America, sent an extended article 10 this paper
few days since which was duly publNhed. de-
| failing his remarkable experience and rescue
from what seemed TO be certain death. IL
would be impossible 10 enumerate the personal
| inquiries which have been made at our office
as 10 the validity Of the article, but they have
| been 90 numerous that further investigation Of
| the subject vas deemed an editorial necessity
With this end in view . representative Of this
b. 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 - you can sus-

LIVERY one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get 80 near the grave
as did and then return, and am not sur
prised that the public think 1t marvellous 1t

"How in the world did you, q physician,
come 70 be brought DO low 2"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
ymptomA did not think was sick It is
true had frequent headaches; felt tired most
Of the time; could eat nothing one dayand was
| ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains
and my stomach was out Of order, but did not

"But have these common ailments anything
TO do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took 90 Arm q hold on youp

dy. The fact IL, few people know or realize
what ails them, and am sorry to say that too
few physicians do either"
"ThAt 10 strange statement, Doctor"
"But 1t Is true one. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms instead Of
diseases for years, and 1t is high time y ceased
We doctors have been clipping of the twigs
when we should strike ct the root. The symp-
toms have Just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritstion NJ the water channels indi-
cate the approach Of Brights disease even
more than . cough announces the coming of
consumption. Ne do not treat tho cough, but
try to help thf lungs. We should not waste
our time trying TO relieve the headache, stom-
ach, pains bbont the body or other symptoms,
but 60 directly to the kidneys, the source Of
most Of these ailments"
"This, then, Is what you meant when you
said that more than one-haif the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it. Doctor
Precisely. Thousands Of so-called diseases
are torturing people to-day, when In reality 1t
Is Bright's disease In some one OF its many
forms. II is Hydra-headed monster, and the
slightest symptom should strike terror to every
one who hes them. l can look back and re-
call hundreds of deaths which physicians ct the
time declared were caused by paralysis, apo
plexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial
fever and other common complaints, which
see now were caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first 2"
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 l am helping others to
zee the facts and their possible danger also.
Why, there are no end Of truths bearing on this
subject. II YOU want TO know more about II
go 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 than
/ can. Go, too and see DR.. baltimore, the
chemist, at the University. Ifyou want facts
there are any quantity OF them showing the
alarming increase Of Brights disease, its
is but one way in 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.. Warner
was inclined to be reticent, but learning that
the information desired was about the alarm
ing increase OF Brights disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
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
has been $50 per cent. Look at the prominent
men 1t has carried of: Everett Sumner,
Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and
others. This is terrible and 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 Is no knowing where 1t may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted with
II to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner 2"
Hundreds of thousands. l have striking
example Of this truth which has just come to
my notice. A prominent professor in New Or
leans medical college was Iecturing before his
class on the subject OF Bright's disease. He
had various fluids under microscopic analysis,
and was showing the students what the indiea-
tons OF this terrible maIady were. In order to
draw the contrast between healthy and un-
healthy fluids he had provided 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, 1 will
show you how II appears in state Of perfect
health and he submitted his own fluid 10 the
usual test. As he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his color and
command both left him, and in trembling
voice he said: Gentlemen, have made pain
full discovery; I have Bright's disease of the
hdneys,' and In lees than year he was dead. +"
you believe, then, that it has no symptoms
of Its owp, and Is frequently unknown even by
the person who is afflicted with il p
at 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 10 strike
