EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The CommotIon Caused by the Statement
of n Physician.


An unusual article from the Rochester, N. Y,
Democrat and Chronicle, was published in this
paper recently and has been 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:
Dr. J. B. Heniop, who is well known not only
in Rochester but in nearly every part Of America,
sent an extended article to this paper, few |
DAYS since which was duly published. 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 as TO the |
validity of the article, but they have been so
numerous that further investigation OF the |
subiect was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative OF this |
paper called on DR.. Henion, at his residence on
st Paul street. when the following interview
occurred: "That article of yours, Doctor, has
created quite whirlwind- Are the statements
shout the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such as you can sus-
tain?' -.
Every one of them and many additional
ones Few people ever get so near the grave as
/ did and then return, and L 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 neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. l 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 out of order. but did not
think it mes mt anything serious"
''But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Brights diseases which
took 50 firm hold on you?
"Anytbing? Why they are the sure indica-
tions of the first stages of that dreadful NAL
ady. The fact is, few people know or realize
what ails them, and am sorry to say that too
few physicians do either"
"That ia a strange statement. Doctor
ssBut it is a true one. The medical profession
have been treating symptoms instead OF dis
eases for wears, and it is high time it ceased
We doctors have been clipping off the twlgs

toms have Just mentioned or any unusual ac-
ton or irritation of the water channels indicate
the approach of Brght's disease even more
than cough announces the coming OF con-
sumption. We do not treat the cough, but try
to help the lungs. We should not waste our
time trying to relieve the headache, stom ach,
pains about the body or other symptoms, but
go directly to the kidneys, the source OF most
of these ailments" S
"This, then, is what you meant when you
! said that more than one-half OF the deaths
|. which occur arise from Brights disease, ls 1t

Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases
are torturing people to-day, when In reality 1t
| Ia Bright's disease in some one of its many
| FORMS It Is Hydraheaded monster, and the
| slightest symptoms should strike terror to every
| one who has them. I can look back and recall
hundreds of deaths which physicians declared
at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, puemonia, malarial fever and
| other common complaints which see now were
caused by Brigbt's disease.
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
| toms at first?' 4fH rt 5-e-ss-E -

cured as was by the timely use of the. same
remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
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 end of truths bearing on this sub
/ ject. III you want to know more about 1t 60
and see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as I, and is the healthiest man in Roches-
ter to-day. He has made study OF this sub
ject and can give You more facts than can.
Go, too, and see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, al
the University. If you want facts there are
any quantity of them showing the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease its simple and decep
tive symptoms, and that there is but one way
/ by which it can be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force Of tht
Doctors words, the reporter bade him goot
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first MIR. Warner
was inclined to be reticent, but learning tina
the information desired was about the alarming
|
instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
sit is true that Bright's disease has increased
wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics
that in the past ten years its growth has beel
$50 per cent. Look at the prominent men it ha
carried off : Everett, Sumner, Cbase, Wilson
Carpenter, Bishop, Haven and Others This i
terrible and shows greater growth than tina
of any other known complaint. 1t must b
plain to every one that something must be don
to check this increase or there is no knowin
where it may end"
''Do you think many people are afflicted wit
it to-day who do not. realize it, Mr.. Warner?
Hundreds of thousands. have strikin
