EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,


| An unusual article from the hOchestef
N. Y. Democrat and Chronicle, was re
published in this paper and was n sub
ject of much conversation, both In pro-
fessional circles and on the street. Ap-
parently it caused even more conmo-
tion in Rochester, as the following from
the same paper shows:
| DIR. 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 % be certain death. II
| would be impossible to enumerate the
personal inquiries which have been
| made at our Office as to the validity OF
| the article, bnt they have been so
| numerous that further investigation OF
| the subject was deemed an editorial
| necessity.
With this end in view a representa-
| tive OF this paper called on DR.. Henion,
| at his residSnce on st. Paul street, when
| the following interview occurred:
"That article OF yours, Doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. Are the
statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were
rescued such as you can sustain ?'
| tional ones. Few people ever get so
near the grave as l did and then return,
and l am not surprised that the public
think it marvellous. 1t was marvellous"
"How in the world did you, physi-
clan, come to be brought so low?''
"By neglecting the first and most
simple symptoms. l did not think |
was sick. 1t is true l 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 was out OF order,
but did not think it meant anything
serious"
"But have these common ailments
anything to do with the fearful Bright's
disease which took so firm n hold on
your"
"AnythingH Why, they are the sure
idications Of the first stages of that
dreadful malady. The fact Is, few peO-
pie know or realize what sils them and
| am sorry to say that too few physicians
do either
"That is \ strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is a true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptoms
instead OF diseases for years, and 1t is
nigh time it ceased. We doctors have
been clipping off the twigs when we
should strike at the root. The symp-
toms have just mentioned or any un-
usual action or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach OF
Bright's disease even more than cough
announces the coming of consumption.
We do not treat the cough, but try to
help the lungs. We should not waste
our time trying to relieve the headache,
stomach, pains about the body or other
symptoms, but go directly to- the kid
neys, the s)urce OF most OF these all
ments."
This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Brigbt's
disease, is it Doctor?"
"Precisely. Thousands Of so-called
diseases are torturing people to-day,
when in reality it is Bright's disease in
some one OF its many forms. It Is a
Hydra-headed monster, and the slight
est symptoms should strike terror TO
every one who has them. l can look
back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time
were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malariai
fever and other common complaints
which see now were caused by Brights
disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at flrst?"
"Every one OF them, and might have
been cured AS was by the timely use
of the same remedy-Warners safe
kidney and Liver Cure. / am getting
my eyes thoroughly opened In this mat
ter and think I am helping others TO see
the facts and their possible danger also.
Why, there are no end of truths bear
ing on this subject. II you want TO
know more about it go aud see Mr..
Warner himself. He was sick the same
as I, and is the healthiest man In Koch
ester to-day. He has made a study Of
this subject and can give you more facts
than can. Go, too, and see DIR. Latti-
more, the chemist, at the university. Ii
YOU want facts there are any quantity
OF them showing the alarming increase
OF Bright's disease, It's 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 RordS, the reporter bade
| him good day and called on Mr.. Warner
a. his establishment on Exchange street.
| At first Mr.. Warner was inclined - be
reticent, but learning that the inferma-
| tion desired was about the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly:
ait is true that Bright's disease has
| increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that In the past ten
years It's growth has been 250 per cent.
Look ut the prominent men 1t has ear
ried off: Everett, sumner, Chase, Will
son, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and
others. This Is terrible and shows a
| greater growth than that Of any other
| known complaint. It must be plain 20
every one that something must be done
to check this Increase or there Is no
knowing where 1t may end"
"Do you think many people are
afflicted with Il to-day who do not real
ize IL, Mr. Warnerf'
