Excitement. in Rochester.
THE CoMMoTloN CAUSED BY THE STATE
MENT OF A PHYSICIAN.
An unusual article from the Rochester,
n. Y, Democrat and Chronicle" was re-
published in this paper and was subject OF
much conversation, both in professional
circles and on the street. Apparently it
caused even more commotlon in Roches-
ter. as the following from tire same paper
shows:
DR.. J. B. Henion, 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 impossi-
BILE to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our Office as to
the validity of the article, but they have
been 50 numerous that further investiga-
tion of the subject was deemed an editori-
al necessity.
With this end in view a representative
of this paper called on DR.. HeniOn, at his
residence on St. Paul street when the fol-
lowing interview occurred: THAT article
of yours, Doctor, has created quite whirl
wind. Are the statements about the ter
rible condition you were IN, and the way
you were rescued such as you can sus-
tain?"
EVERY one of them and many addition
al ones. Few people ever get SO near the
grave as did and then return, and | am
not surprised that the public think it mar

Chow in the world did you, a physician,
come to be brought SO low?"

or realize what ails them, and am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either. F."
"That is strange statement, Doctor. -"
'sBut it is 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 clip
ping off the twigs when we should strike
at the root. The symptoms [ have just
mentioned or any unusual action or irrita-
tion of the water channels indicate the ap-
proach OF Bright's disease even more than
a 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 head
ache, stomach, pains about the body !, or
other symptoms. but go directly to the
kidneys, the source of most of these all
msnts."
.'This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from BrlEht's
disease, is it Doctor2"
ssPrecisely Thousands of so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when IN
reality it is Bright's disease in some one OF
its many forms. It is a Hydraheaded
monster, and the slightest symptoms
should strike terror to every one who has
them. [ can look back and recall hun
dreds of deaths which physicians declared
at the time were caused by paralysis. apo
plexy, heart disease, pneumonia. malar !al
fever and other common complaints which
I sse now were caused by Bright's dis
ease"

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 in this matter and think
I am helping others to see the facts and
their possible danl er also. Why, there are
no end of truths bearing on this subject.
If you want to know more about it go and
see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as /, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made study
of this subject and can give you more facts
than 1 can. Go, too, and see DR.. Latti-
more, the chemist, at the University. Ii

them showing the alarming increase of
Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive
symptoms, and that there is but one way
by which 1t can be escaped

the Doctors words, the reporter babe him

establishment on Exchange street. At
first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reti-
cent, but learning that the information
desired was about the alarming increase OF
Bright's disease, his manner changed In
STANDBY and he spoke very earnestly:
"IJ is true that Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we ind, by relia-
BILE statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been $50 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 complaint. 1t must be plain
to every one that something must be done

Hundreds of thousands. | have a
striking example of this truth which has
lust come to my notice. A prominent pro-
was lecturing before his class on the SUBJ
ject of Bright's disease. He had various
fluids under microscopic analysis and was
showing the students what the Indications
of this terrible malady were. In order to
draw the contrast between healthy and
unhealthy fluids he had provided vial the
contents of which were drawn from his
own person. And now, gentlemen he

cations. will show you how it appears in
