THE FLOWER CITY FURoRE.
THE CONNECTION CAUSED BY THE STATE
MEST OF A PHYSICIAN.

~ II o.
lished in this paper recently and has been
the subject Of much conversation both IN
professional circles and on the street.
Apparently it caused more commotlon IN
Rochester, as the following from the same
paper shows:
DIR. J. B. Henion, who is well known
not only in Rochester, but in Dearly ev-
cry part of America, sent an extended ar
ticle to this paper, a few days since, which
was duly published, detailing his remark
able experience and rescue from what
seemed TO be certain death. Ii would be
impossible to enumerate the personal en-
ouiries which have been made at our Of
flee as 10 the validity of the article, but
they have been so 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 a whirlwind. Are the state
men,s about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued
such as you can sustain:
Every one OF them and many addi-
,ional ones. Few people ever get 50
near the grave as did and then return,
and 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 neglec,ing the first and most sim
pie symptoms. did not think | was
sick. Ii is true | had frequent headaches
and felt tired most Of the time; could eat
nothing one day and was rayenous the
next; felt dull, indefinite pains and my
stomach was on, OF order, but did not
think it mean, anything serious.
But have these common ailments
ANYTHING to do with the fearful Brght's
disease which took 50 firm hold on
you
Anything Why, they are the sure
indications Of the hrst stages OF that
dreadful malady. The fact IS, few peo-
pie know or realize what ais them, and
| / am sorry 10 say that too few physicians
90 either
That is strange statement, Doc
tor"
- But it is a true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptoms
instead OF diseases for years, and It IS
high time it ceased. We doctors have
been clipping off the twigs when we
should strike at the root The symptoms
| have just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation OF the water channels
indicate the approach Of BTisht'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 no: waste our time trying To
relieve the headache, stomach, pains about
the body or other symptoms, but 90 d.
rec,ly 10 the kidneys, the source OF most
of these ailments.
This, then, Is what you meant when
YOU said that more than one-half OF the
deaths which occur arise from Brights
disease, is it doctor"
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 hydra
headed monster, and the slightest symp-
toms should strike terror to everyone who
has them. can look back and recall
hundreds Of deaths which physicians de-
clared at the tine were caused by parai-
ysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia,
malarial fever and o;her common COM
plants which see now were caused by
Bright's disease.
And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first:
Every one Of them, and nigh, have
been 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
subject If you want to know more
about it 60 and see Mr.. Warner himself.
He was sick the same as /, and is the
heslthiest man in Rochester to-day. He
has made study Of this subject and can
give you more facts than can. Go, too,
and see DR.. Lattimore, the chemist, at
the University. If you want facts there
are any quantity of them showing the
alarming increase of Bright's disease, its
simple and deceptive symptoms, and that
there is but one way by which it can be
escaped
Fully satisfied of the truth and force
Of the Doctorss words, the reporter babe
him good-day and called on Mr.. Warner
at his establishment on Exchange Street.
At first Mr.. Warner was inclined to be
reticent, but learning that the informa-
ton desired was about the alarming in
crease of Brights disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very ear
nestly:
at 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
off Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson,
Bishop Haven and others.
This is terrible, and shows greater
growth than that of any other known
1t should be plain to everyone
that something must be done to check this
