 Excitement in Rochester.
 The Commotion Caused by the Statement
 ofa Physician.
 An unusual article from the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and Chronicle, was repub- lished in this paper yesterday and was sub ject of much conversation in this city during the day, both in professional circles and on the street Apparently it caused even more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows:
 Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well-known not only i'll Rochester but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this pa- per a few days since which was duly pub lished, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our office to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
 With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his resi- dence on St. Paul street, when the following interview occurred: ''That article of yours, Doetor has created quite g whirlwind. Are
 the statements about the terrible condition you W6I6 HI dAu bu0 way you were E6SCuSu such as you can sustain ?"
 "Every one of them and many additional ones Few people ever get so near the grave
 as I did and then return, and l am not sur
 prised that the public think it marvellous. It
 was marvellous"
 "How in the world dld you, physician,
 come to be brought so low?' By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick It
 is true had frequent headaches felt tired | most of the time; could eat nothing one day ! and was ravenous the next felt dull, indef-
 nite pains and my stomach was out of
 der, but did not think it meant anything serious"
 But have these common ailments any, thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease which took so firm hold of you ?" | "Anything? Why, they are the sure indi-
 cations 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 too few physicians do either" ''That is a strange statement, Doctor" | But it is 8 true one. The medical pro-
 fession have been treating symptoms instead
 of diseases for years, and it is high time it
 ceased. We doctors have been clipping off l the twigs when we should strike at the root. l The symptoms I have just mentioned or any
 unusual action 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 l treat the cough but try to help the lungs. 1 We should not waste our time trying to re- 1 lieve the headache, stomach, pains about the body or other symptoms but go directly to
 the kidneys, the source of most of these all- | ments.'
 "fhis, then is what you meant when you 1 said that more than half 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 l 1t is Bright's disease in some one of it's many l forms. It is Hydra-headed monster, and 1 the slightest symptoms should strike terror | to every one who has them. I can look back | and recall hundreds of deaths which physi- | clans declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumo- nia malarial fever and other common con- plaints which I see now were caused by \ Bright's disease"
 ''And did all these cases have simple sy mp- | toms at first ?"
 "Every one of them, and might have been | cured as I was by the timely use of the same | remedy-Warners 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 this subject. If you want
 to know more about it go and see Mir. War ner himself. He was sick the same as I, and | is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made 8 study of this subject and can | give you more facts than I can. Go, too, and | see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the Uni versity. If you want facts there are any quantity of them showing the alarming in- l crease of Bright's disease, it's simple and deceptive symptoms, and that there is but l one way by which 1t can be escaped.'' Fu1lv satisfied Of tha trnth and forca of l the Doctors words, the reporter bade him | good day and called on Mir. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mir. Warner inclined to be reticent, but 1 learning that the information desired ! was about the alarming increase of Bright's disease, his manner changed instantly and he | spoke very earnestly:
 ! ''It is true that Bright's disease has in-
 creased wonderfully and we find, by reliable
 statistics, that in the past ten years it's growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the promi- 1 nent men it has carried off: Everett, Sum- ner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven | and others. This is terrible and shows ! greater growth than that of any other known complaint. It must be plain to every one ! that something must be done to check this 1 increase or there is no knowing where 1t may \ end''
 1 ''Do you think many people are afflicted 1 with it to-day who do not realize it Mir. War 1 her ?''
 Hundreds of thousands I have strik- 1 ing example of this. truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent professor | in New Orleans medical college was lectur- 1 ing before his class on the subject of Bright's 1 disease. He had various fluids under micro scopic analysis and was showing the students 1 what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to draw the contrast between
 healthy and unhealthy fluids he had provided | a vial the contents of which were drawn 1 from his own person. And now, gentle I men, he said, as we have seen the unhealthy
 indications, I will show you how it appears l in state of perfect health,' and he submit. l ted his own fluid to the usual test As he ] watched the results his countenance suddenly changed-his color and command both left l him and in trembling voice he said: Gen l tlemen, have made painful discovery /
 have Bright's disease of the kidneys and in
 less than year he was dead" ''You believe then that 1t has no symp- 1 toms of it's own and is frequently unknown even by the person who is afflicted with it ?'' ''It has no symptoms of it's 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 to strike terror to any one. know I what am talking about, for I have been ! through all the stages of kidney disease" ''You know Of Dr. HenlOnS case !' ''Yes, have both read and heard of it." sIt is very wonderful, is it not ?" "A very prominent case but no more so | than 8 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 cured"
 ''I know it can. know it from the exper- fence 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 it ?'' "A fearful one. had felt languid and un-
 fitted for business for years. But did not know what ailed me. When however, I
 found it was kidney difficulty I thought there
 was little hope and so did the doctors. I
 have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to 8 gentleman
 on the street one day, saying: there goes man who will be dead within year I be- ieve his words would have proven true if had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.''
 "And this caused you to manufacture it ?"
