EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The ComnotiOn Caused by the StateneE
of q Physician.

OF Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester,
N. T., Democrat and Chronicle, was repub-
lished in this paper and was subject OF
much conversation, both in professional
circles and on the street. Apparently it
caused even more cOmmotiOn in Rochester
as the following 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 all extended article
to this paper, few days since which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
to be certain death. It would be impos-
sible to cuumerato the personal enquiries
which have been made 1T our Office as to
the validity of the article, but they have
been so numerous that further investiga
tion of the subject was deemed an editorial
necessity.
With this end in view 4 representative
Of this paper called on Dr. Henion, ut his
residence on St. Paul street, when the fol
lowing interview occurred That arti-
Gle of yours, Doctor, has created quite 4
whrlwind. Are the statements about the
terrible condition you were i'll, and the
way YOU were rescued such rs you can
sustain ~
Every one of them aud many addi'
| tional ones. Few people ever get SO near
the grave rs did and then return, and
| am not surprised that the public think it
marvellous. 1t was marvellous"
How in the world did you, a physi-
| clan, be brought SO low? %
by reglecting the first and most
| simple symptoms. did not think l 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 l did not
think it meant anything serious
| "But have these common ailments any
thing to do with tho fearful Bright's dis
ease which took so firm 4 hold on you:"
Anything Why, thcy are the sure
indications of the first stages of that
dreadful malady. The fact is, few people
know or realize what ails them, and am
sorry to say that few doctors do cither.'
THAT is a strange statement DOCTOR
"But it is 4 true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead Of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been
clipping off the twigs when We should
strike at the root. The symptoms l have
just mentioned or any unusual action Or
irritation of the water channels indicate
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 re-
licvc the headache, stomach, pains about
the body or other symptoms, but 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 d0ctOs:
Precisely. Thousands Of so-cailed
diseases are torturing people to-day, when
in reality it is Bright's disease in some
one of its many forms. 1t Isl Hydra
headed monster, and the slightest symp,
toms should stike terror to every one
vino has them. l can look back and
recall hundreds of deaths which physicians
declared at the time We're caused by par
aiysis, apoplcXy, heart disease, pneumonia
malarial fever and other common com
plants. which see now were caused by
Bright's disease
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first ?"
Every one of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use o
the same rcmcdy-Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. l am getting my eyes
thoroughly opened in this matter and
think | am helping others to see the
facts and their possible danger also.
Why there are no eud of truths
bearing on this subject. If you want to
know more about it 60 and see Mr.. War

and is the healthiest man in Rochester to

ject and can give YOU more facts than
can. Go, too, and sec Mr.. baltimore, the
chemist, at the University. If You want

first Mr.. Warner was inclined to be reti
sent, but learning that the informatiO,
desired was about the alarming increase
of Bright's disease, his manner changed
instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
1t is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find by rcli
able statistics, that in the past ten year!
its growth has been $50 per cent. Lool
