The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-01-26
EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The Commotion Caused by The Statements
OF . Physfctan-

Democrat and Chronicle, was published In this
paper recently and has bean . subject Of much
conversation, both in professional circles and
on the street. Apparently it caused even more I
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 paper, . few
days since which was duly published, detailing
his remarkable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. It would be
impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at. our Office as to the 1
validity of the article, but they have been 80 |
numerous that further Investigation of the
subject 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 q whirlwind. Are the statements
shout the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such as you can sus-
tain?'
"Eyery one Of them and many additional
ones Few people ever get so near the grave as
I did and then return, and / am not surprised
that the public think it marvellous. It was
marvellous
allow in the world did you, . physician,
come to be brought so lowf"
EBy neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. 1 did not think I was sick. It Is
true 1 had frequent headaches ; felt tired most
of the time; could eat nothing one day and was
rsvenous the next felt dull indefinite pains
and my stomach was out Of order, butt did not
think it meant anything serious.
aBut have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's diseases which
took so firm q hold on you?"
Anything? Why, they are the sure indies
tons of the FIRST stages of that dreadful m&1-
ady. The fact is, few people know or realize
what ais them, and I am sorry to say thattoo
few physicians do either"
"That is o strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is q true one. The medical profession
have been treating symptoms instead Of dis
eases for years, and it is high time 1t ceased.
We doctors have been clipping on the twigs
whenw we should strike at the root. The symp-
toms / have Just mentioned or any unusual ac-
ton or irritation of the water channels indicate
the approach of Bright's disease even more
than q cough announces the coming OF con-
| sumption. We do not treat thorough, but Try
to help the lungs. We should not waste our
time trying to relieve the headache, stom.ch,
pains about the body or other symptoms, but
go directly to the kidneys, the source OF most
Of these ailments
"Thfs, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than one-half Of the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it

Precisely. Thousands Of so-called diseases
are torturing people to-day, when in reality 1t
Is Bright's disease in some one of its many
forms. 1t is . Hydraheaded monster, and the

one who has them. lean 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, see now were
caused by Bright's disease"
eAnd did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first?"
LIVERY one of them, and might have been
cured as 1 was by the timely use of the same
remedy-warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
I I'M getting my eyes thoroughly openedin 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 tnis suD-
ject. II you want to know moro about it go
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 a study of this sub
ject and can give you more facts than can;
Go, too, and see DIR. baltimore, the chemist, at
the University. II 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 the
Doctors words, the reporter bade him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first Mr.. Warner
was inclined to be %reticent, but learning thet
the information desired was about the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, his manner changed
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 been
$50 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has
carried OF Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson,
Carpenter, Bishop, Haven and others. This Is
terrible and shows q greater growth than that
of any other known complaint. 1t mustSbe
plain to every one that something must be done
to check this increase or there is no knowing
whereit may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted with
it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner?f
Hundreds of thousands. I have q striking

my notice. A prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing before his
class ON the subject of Brights disease. He
had various fluids under microscopic analysis
and was showing the students what the indica.
tions of this terrible malady were. In order tc
draw the contrast between healthy and I'M
healthy fluids he had provided a vial the con
tents of which were drawn from his own per
SON And now, gentlemen he said, as VI
have seen the unhealthy indications, will show
you how it appears in a state of perfect health,
and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test
As he watched the results his countenance sud
denly changed-his color and command botl
left hin and in 8 trembling voice he said

"You believe then that it has no symptom

The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much il

q his statements, and next paid a visit to DIR.

propounded to him:
"Did You make a chemical analysis OF t

"What did this analysis show your"
"The presence of albumen and the tube cas-
