THE FLOWER CITY rURoRE.
The Commotion Caused by the Statement
Of Physician.


Of Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
T., Democrat and Chroniae, was published In
this paper recently and has been the subject
of much conversation both in professional
circles and on the street. Apparently it
caused more commotion In Rochester, as the
following from the same paper shows.
DR.. j. b. Henion, who is we'll known not
! only in Rochester, but in nearly every part OF
America, sent an extended article to this pa
| per, few days since which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumerate
the personal enquiries which have been made
| at our Office rs 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,
Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are
the statements about the terrible condition
| you wee in, and the way you were rescued
/ such as you can sustainf'
Every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as dill and then return, and i am not sur
prised that the public think it marvellous. 1t

How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought SO low ~
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. Ibid not think was sick. 1t is
true had frequent he adaches: 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 any thing
! to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took SO firm hold on you!"
Anything! Why, they are the sure inlii-
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malsdy. The fact is, few people know or
! realize what ais them, and am sorry to say
that too few physicians do either"
Tint is strange statement, Doctor
But it is a 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 oil
the twigs when we should strike at the root
The symptoms have just mentioned or any
unusual action or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach OF Brights'
disease even more than cough announces
the coming of consumption. Wedo not treat
the cough, but try to help the lungs. We
should not waste our time trying to relieve
the headache, stomach, pains about the body
Or other symptoms, but go directly to the kid
oeys. 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 doctor"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases
are torturiDg people to-day, when in reality it
is Bright's disease in some one of its many
Iofms. II is a Hydra headed monster, and the
slightest symptoms should strike terror to ey-
erv one who has them. | can look back and
| recall hundreds of deaths which physicians
declared at the time were caused by paralysis,
apopleXy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial
fever and other common complaints which
spp Rrirntfs
And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at firstf'
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as / was by the timely use of the same
remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
| Cure. | am getting my eyes thorou rhly
opened in this matter and think am helping
others to see the facts and their possible dam
ger also. Why, there are no end OF truths
bearipg on this subject. II you want to know
more about it 90 and see MIR. Warner himself
lie was sick the same as ], and is the hcalthi-
est man in Rochester to-day. he has made
study Of this subject and can give YOU more
facts than | can. Go, too, and see DIR. l-atti-
more, the chemist, at the University. III You
want facts there are any quantity oil them
shown the alarming increase of Bright dis
ease, its sim. lie md 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 baie him good
day and called oniMr. Warner at his establish
mcnt on Exchange street. At first Mr.. War
ner was inclined to be reticcnt, but learning
that the information desired was about the
alarming increase of Bright's disease, his
manner changed instantly and &c spoke very
earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statist cS, that ia the past ten wears its growth
has been 80 per cent Look at the prominent
men it has carried off: 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 should be Plain to every one that
somethir" must be done to check this increass
or there is NJ knowing where t may end"
"Doyou think m NY people are afflicted with
1t to-day who do not realize il, Mr.. Warne-"
" Hundreds of thous nds. have striking
eXamile of this truth which has just come to
my notice. \ prominent professor in a New
Orleans me 'ical col ere was lecturing before
his c,a>s on the subject of Bright's disc lse.
He h d various fluids under microscopic
an Ilysis, and was showing the students 81 t
the Indications of this terrible mala ly were.
In order to show the contrast between healthy
and unhealthy fluids, he had providn 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 it appears in 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

were given up to die by both their physicians
and friends"
"You speak of your own experience, what

it was kidney difficulty l thought there was
