The CommotiOn Caused by the Ssaso'
ment Of n Physictnms

ment Of n Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester IN.
" Democrat and Chronicle was republished I'D
this paper recently, and has been subject OF
much conversation, both in professional circles
and on the street. Appar ntly IL caused even
more connection in Rochester, ~ the following
from the same paper shows;
DIR. J. b. Henion, who ia well known, not on
w In Rochester but in nearly every part OF
Amercs, sent an extended article to this paper
a few days since, which was duly published,
detailing his remarkable experience and roscue
from what seemed to be certain death. ~
would be impossible 10 enumerate the personal
Inquiries which have been made at our ofnco a.
the validity OF the article, but they have
been 80 numerous that further investigation OF
the subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view Representative OF this
paper called on DIR. Henion, at his residence on
st Paul street. when the following interview
occurred: "That article of yours, Doctor, has
created quite whiriwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were In and tho
way YOU were rescued such az You can sustain =
every one OF them and many additional
ones Few people ever get 80 near the grave
as did and then return, and am not surprised
that the public think it marvellous. 1t was
marvellous"
"How in the world did you, . physician,
come to be brought so low?'
"By neglsoting 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"
But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease winch
took 80 firm hold IN you Z"
"Anythingi Why, they are the sure indica-
tons OF the first stages OF that dreadful
malady The fact is, few people know or real
iEe what ails them, and l am sorry to say that
too few physicians do other"
That Is strange statement, Doctor"
" But IL Is n tue one. The medical profess
zion have been treating symptoms instead OF
diseases for years, and il Ii high time it ceased.
We doctors have been chipping of the twigs
when We should strike at the root. The symp.
toms l have just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation OF the water channels in
dicate the approach of Brights disease even
more than cough announces the coming OF
consumption. We do not treat the cough, but
try 10 help the lungs. We should not waste
our time trying to relieve the headaches,
stomach. pains about the body or other symp-
| toms, but go directly TO the kidneys tie source
OF most of those ailments
"This then, is what you meant when you
raj l that more than one-naif the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease is it, Doctor?"
I" Precisely. Thousands of 80 caked diseases
are torturiug people to-day, when III reality 1t is
Br gifts disease III some one OF Its many forms.
| 1t is o Hydra-heaSsed monster, and the slightest
symptoms should strike terror TO every one who
| has them. / can look back aud recall hundreds
OF deaths which physicians declared at the time
| were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart dis
case, pneumonia, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints which / see now were caused
| by Brights disease"
"And did al these cases have simple symp-
| toms ut first y
"Every one of them, and might have been
! cured as was by the timely use or the same
| remedy-Wsrner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
| am getting my eyes thoroughly opened III this
| matter, and think am helping others to SEQ
| the facts and their possible danger, also. Why,
| there liz no end OF truths bearing on this sub
| ject II you want to know more about II, go
and see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as l. and is the healthiest man in Roch-
ester to day. He has made study of this
subject, and can give you more facts than i
can. Go, too, and see DIR. baltimore, the
chemist, at the University. Ii you want facts,
| there are any quantity of them showing tho
| alarming increase OF Brights disease, lis SIM
pie 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.. Warner
was inclined to be retlcent, but learning the
| information desired Was about the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, bis manner changed
instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
% 1t is true that BriSht's disease has increased
wonderfully, and We find by reliable statistics,
TINT In the past ten years its growth has been
$50 per cent Look at the prominent men it
has carried of Everett, Sumner, Chase VIII
CON- Carpenter, Bishop Haven and others. This
Is terrible and shows a greater growth than
that Of any other complaint. 1t must be plain
to every one that something must be done 10

'Do you think many people are afflicted with
it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner"
" Hundreds Of thousands. 1 have strik-
ing example OF this truth which has Just come
TO my notice. A prominent professor ia the
New Orleans medical college was lecturiRg be-
fore his class on the subject OF Brights disease.
He had various fluids under microscopic an
alysis, and was showing tho students what the
Indications 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, l will
show you how 1t appears in state OF perfect
| health, and he submitted his own fluid to the
usual test. AS he watched the results his
oountenanco suddenly changed-his color and
command both left him, and in q tremblin,,
voice he said: Gentlemen. 1 have made a
painful discovery have Brght's disease of
| tfo buho.b, hhu III loss blltl year ne 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 1t 2"
" II has no symptoms of its own and very
often none ut all Usually no two people have
the same symptoms. and frequently death is
| the first symptom. The slightest Indications
of any kidney difficulty should DO enough to
strike terror to any one. l know what 1 am
talking about, for have been through oil the
| stages OF kidney disease"
"You know of DIR. Henion's casow
eyes, have both read and heard of it."
O. IL is very wonderful, is it not?'
"a very prominent case, but no more so than
| great many others that have come 10 my no.
tice rs having been cured by the same means"
"You believe, ,hen, that Bright's disease can
| lie cured"
al know it can. / know il from the expert
ence OF hundreds of prominent persons who
were given up to die by both their physicians
and friends.
You speak Of your own experience, what
was 1t 2"
"a fearful one. i had felt languid and un-
