EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The commotion Caused By the Statement
of Physician

of Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester, n. Y
Democrat and Chronicle, was republished in thi
paper Yesterday and was subject OF much CONVEX
sation in this city during the day, both in profes
sional circles and on the street. Apparently
caused even more connection in Rochester, as th
following from the same paper shows:
Dr. j. B. HenioD who is well-known not only il
Rochester but in nearly every part of America, sen
an extended article to this paper few days since
which was duly published, detailing his remarkabl
experience and rescue from what seemed to be ceI
tain DEATH 1t would be impossible TO enumerat
the personal inquiries WI ich have been made at GU
office as to the validity of the article, but they hav
been so numerous that further investigation Of tn
subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative of this pc
per called on DR.. Henion, at his residence ON ST
Paul street. when the following interview occurred
" That article of yours, doctor, has created quite
whirlwin5 Are the statements about the terribl
condition you were in, and the way you were res
eued such as you can sustain =
Every Of them and many additional ones
Few people ever get SO near the grave as did am
then return, and am not surprised that the publ
think it marvellous 1t WAS marvellous"
How in the world did you, physician, come t
be brought so lowF
"By neglecting the first and most simple sYmp
toms. | did not think was sick. 1t is true hat
frequent headaches | felt tired most of the time
could eat nothing one day and was rarenous thu
next felt dull indefinite pains, and my stomach
was out of order, but did not think it meant any
thing serious"
But have these common ailments anything t,
do with the fearful Brights disease which took s.
| firm a hold on you 2
Anything? why, they are the sure indica
| tons OF tue first stages of that dreadful malady
The fact IS, few people know or realize what all
| them, and am sorry to say that too few physicians
| do either"
THAT is strange statement, doctorg
| q But it is q true one. The medical profession
have been treating symptoms instead of diseases fol
years. and it is high time it ceased We doctors
| have been clipping at the twigs when We shoult
strike at the root The symptoms have just men
tione1, or any unusual action irritation Of the
water channels, indicate the approach of Brghti
| disease even more than cough announces the com
| ing OF consumption. We do not treat the cough
but try to help the lungs. We should not oul
time trying to relieve the headache, stomach, pains
about the body or other sy mptoms but go directly
TO the kidneys, the source OF most of these all
| ments"
This, then, is what you meant when you sale
that more than one-half of the deaths which occul
arise from Brights disease, is it, doctor?"
! Precisely. Thousands OF so-called diseases are
torturing people to-day when in reality it is Bright
disease in some Of its many forms. 1t is hydra
headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them can loOl
back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians
declared a the time were clused by paralysis apo
pexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malaral fever ant
other common complaints, which l see now wert
caused by Brights disease"
land did all these cases have simple symptom.
at first ?"
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. | am getting
NV eyes thoroughly opened in this matter, ant
think am helping Others TO see the facts and the
| possible danger also. Why, there are no end O
| truths bearing on this subject. Ii you want t.
! know more about it go aud see Mr. Warner him
self He was sick the as l. and is the health

Of this subject, and give you more facts thar
can Go, to }, and see DIR. baltimore, the chemist
at the University Ii you want facts there are an,
quantity of them showing the alarming increase @
Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive symptoms
snd at there is but one way in which it can b.
escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the doc
tors words, the reporter babe him good day. anC
C ed on Mr.. Warner at his establishment on Ex
change street. At first Mr.. Warner was inclined
10 be reticent, but learning that the information
desired about the alarming increase of Bright:
disease, his manner changed instantly and he spoke
| very earnestly;
at is true that Bright's disease has increased
wonderfully, and find, by reliable statistics that
in the past ten years its growth has been $50 pei
| 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 any known complaint
1t must be plain to every that something must
be done to check this increase there is no know
| ing where it may end"
| "Do you think many people are afflicted with il
to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner?'
% Hundreds of thousands, | have striking ex
ample of this truth which has Just come to nv no
| tice. A prominent professor in New Orleans med
ical college was lecturDg before bis class on the
subject Of Briehts disease. He had various fluid:
under microscopic analysis, and was showing the
students what the indie ,tons of this terrible NAL
ady were. In osder to draw the contrast between
healthy and unhealthy fluids he had provided via
the contents of which were drawn from his owl
person. 'And now, gentlemen, he said, as we
have seen the unhealthy indications, will show yor
how it appears in q state of perfect health and hi
submitted his own fluid to the usual test. AS he
watched the results his countenance suddenl,
ehanged-h his color and his command both left him
| and in trembling voice he said Gentlemen,
! have made painful discovery; l have Bright dis
of the kidneys, and in less than year he wa.
dead"
az You believe then that it has no symptoms of il.
own and is frequently unknown even by the person
| who is afflicted with itP'
lit has no symptoms of its owp and very otter
none at all. Unusually no two people have the SAME
| symptoms, and frequently death is the first symp

| through all the stages OF kidney disease
| lyon know OF Dr. Henion's case 81
q Yes, have both read and heard of it."
| at is very wonderful, is it not?
% A very prominent case but no more so than {
! having been cured by the some means"
" You believe, then, that Bright's disease can be

81 know it csh know it from the experience
| of hundreds of promineI persons who were given
! up to die by both their physicians and friends"
9 You speak of your own experience; what was

me. When, however, / found it was kidney d fiji

doctors have since learned that of the physi
clans of this city pointed me ont to gentleman OF

would have proven true if had not fortunately Sc

that DR. Craig was unable with his facilities to sup

sity."
The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much impressed
with the earnestness and sincerity OF his statements
and next paid visit to DR.. S. A. baltimore at his
| residtn on Prince street. DR. baltimore, although
busily engaged upon some matters connected with
the State Board OF Health of which be is one OF tn,
! analysts, courteousy answered the questions thai
were propounded him:
tDid you make emical analysis Of the case O
Mr.. II. H. Warner, some three years ago, doctor !?
eyes sir"
| "What did this analysis show your
1.-THE presence Of albumen and tube casts in great
| abundance"
! And what did the symptoms indicator
! 90 A serious disease OF the kidneys"
&c Did you think Mr.. Warner could recoverf"
"No, sir, did not think it possible. 1t was sci
| dom, indeed, that so pronounced a case had up t.
| that time ever been cured"
Do you know anything about the remedy which
cured him 2
g Yes, have chemically analysed it and upor
critical examination find it entirely free from any
poisonous or deleterious substances"
| We publish the foregoing statements in view o.
| the eommo.ion which the publicity of DIR. Henions
article has caused and to meet the protestatiou:
which have been made. The standing of DR.. Hen
| ion, Mr.. Warner and DR.. baltimore in the com
munity is beyond question and the statements they
make cannot for moment be doubted. They con
elusivey show that Bright's disease OF the kidney,
is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of al
diseases, that it is exceedingly common slarningl,
| increasing and that it can be cured
