EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The CommOtion Caused by the state
menx Of a Physician.

Y Democrat and Chronicle was republished
in this paper Tuesday, and was q subject
OF much conversation in this city during
the day, both in professional circles and on
the street. Apparently it caused even more
commotlon in Rochester, as the following
from the same paper shows:
DR.. J. B. Henion, who is well known not
only IN Rochester, but in nearly every paTe
OF America, sent an extended aIsicle 10 this
usper q few DAYS since which was duly pub
.ished, detailing his remarkable experience
end rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. Il would be impossible to enumer-
ate the personal inquiries which have been
made at our Office as to the validity Of the
article, but they have been so numerous
that further Investigation Of the subjee!
was deemed an editorial necC ssity.
With this end in view q representative OF
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his resi-
dence on st. Paul street, when the following
interview occurred:
chat article OF yours, Doctor, has ere
ated quite a whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in,
and the way you were rescued, such as you
can sustain 2"
every one Of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as did and then return, and / am not sur
prised that the public think 1t marvellous.
Il was marvellous"
Glow in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low?"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. I did not hink / wss sick. 1t
Is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired
most OF the time; could eat nothing one day
and was raven0us the next; felt dull, indei-
ni:e pains and my stomach was out Of or

serious
But have these common ailments any
thing 70 do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm a hold on youyn
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 ais them. aid l am sorry to
say that TOO few physicians do either"
THAT is a strange statement, Doctor"
"But it Is a 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 of 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 8right's disease, even mere
than s cough announces the coming Of con-
sumption. We DO not treat the cough, but
try TO help the lungs. We should not waste
cur time trying 10 relieve the headache,
stomach, pains about the body, or other
SYMPTOMS, but 90 directly to the kidneys,
the source Of most Of these ailments"
This, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than oue-hslf tn deaths
which occur aIlse from Bright's disease, is
it, Doctors"
"Precisely. Thousands of so called
diseases are tor curing people day, when
In reality 1t is Bright's disease IN some one
Of its many forms 1t Is a HYdra-headed
monster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror TO every one who has them. /
can look back and recall hundreds OF
deaths which physicians declared at the
time we're caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malaIial fever
and other common complaints which l see
now were caused BY Bright's disease"
"Aud did all these cases have simple
symptoms at frs;:"
Every one Of them, and might have been
cured as | was BY the timely use Of the same
remedy-Warner' Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened ID this matter and think l am help
ing others to see the facts and their posi-
bic danger also. Why, there are no end Of
Truths bee-ing on this subject. II you want
to know more about It 60 and see Mr.. War
ner himself He was sick the same as !,
and = the healthiest man IN Rochester tC :
dsy. He has made study Of this subject
and can give you more facts than ! can. Go,
TOO, and see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, al
the University. II you want facts, there
s-e any quantity of them showing an alarm
iug decrease Of Bright's disease, its simple
and deceptive symptoms, and that there is
but one way by which It can be escaped"
Fully satisfied Of the truth and force OF
sba Doo+orjc words tho rpDorfar baGa him
good-day and called on Mr.. Warner at bis
Establishment on Exchange street. At first
Mr.. Warner was inclined } be reucent, but
learning that the information desired was
about the alerming increase Of Bright's dis
eg e, his manner changed instantly, and he
spoke very earnCstly:
at is true that Bnght's d. Ease has in
creased wonderfully, and we fDd, by reli-
able statistics that in the past ten Yeas its
growth has been go per cent, Look at tie
prominent men it has carried of: Everett
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop
Haven and others. This is terrible, and
shows a greater growth than that Of any
other known complaint. l. must be plain
to every one that something must be done
TO check this increase or there is no know
ing where it may end"
do you think many people ere 81 cted
with It to-day who do not realize IL, Mr.
Warnelgn
Hundreds OF thousands. have striking
example Of this truth which has just come
TO nv notice. A prominent prof ssor in-s
New Orleans medical college was lectu- ng
before his class on the subject Of Bright's
disease. He had various fluids under mi
crOscopic analysis ana was showing the
students what the indications Of this ter
rible malady were. In order > draw the

seen the unhealthy indications, I VIII show

health and he submitted his own fluid tc

his countenance suddenly changed-hic
color and command both left him, and in g
trembling voice he said: Gentlemen,

Bright's disease of the Kidneys and in
less than year he was dead"
"You believe then that 1t has no symp-
toms Of its own, and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with

often none at all. Usually no two people
