EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The Commotion Caused by the Statements
of Physician.


this paper recently, and has been a subject OF
much conversation, bothin professional circles
and on the street. Apparently it caused even
more commotion in Rochester, as the 1oliow-
ing 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 pa
per few days since, which was duly puD-
1ished detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to De certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumerate
the personal inquiries which have been maae
at our office as to the validity OF the article,
but they have been so numerous that further
investigation of the subject was deemed an ed
itorial necessity.
With this end in view representative OF
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his resi-
dence on st. Paul street, when the following
interview occurred: ''That article of yours,
Doctor. has created quite whirlwind Are
the statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were rescued,
such as YOU can sustaln!'
ssEverv one of them and many additional
Ones Few people ever get SO near the grave
as did and then return, and l am not sur
prised that the public think it marvellous 1t
was marvellous
''How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought SO Iowa"
s'By neglectng the first and most simple
symptoms. / did not think was sick. 1t is
true | 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 L
did not think it meant anything serious,
''But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease wnicn
took so firm hold on you!"
''Anythingl Why, they arc the sure lndi,
cations of the first stages OF that dread1ul
malady. The fact is, few people know or real
ize what ails them, and am sorry to say that
too few physicians do either"
1That is a strange statement, Doctorn
'sBut it is true one. The medical proies-
sion have been treating symptoms instead OF
diseases for years, andit is high time it ceased.
We doctors have been clipping off the twlgs
when we should strike at the root. Jhe symp-
toms have lust mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation of the water channels indl-
cate 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, stom-
ach, pains about the body or other symptoms,
but go directly to the kidneys, the source OF
most of these ailments"
"This. then is what YOU meant when you
said that more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it Doc
tor!o
"Preciselv. Thousands of so-called dis
reality it is Bright's disease in some one OF its
many forms. 1t is hydra-headed monster,
and the slightest symptoms should strike ter
ror to every one who has them. l can look
back and recall hundreds of deaths which ply
sicians declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia,
maarial fever and other common complaints
which | see now were caused by Bright's dis
case.n
''And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at firsts''
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as | was by the timely use of the same
remedy : Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. l 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. III you want to know
more about it go and see Mr.. Warner himself
He was sick the same as /, and is the health
lest man in Rochester to-day. He has made
study of this subject and can give you more
facts than l can. Go, too, and see DR.. Latti-
more, the chemist, at the University. If you
want facts there are any quantity Of them
showing the alarming increase of Bright's dis
ease, 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
Doctors words, the reporter bade him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his establish
ment on Exchange street. At first Mr.. War
ner was inclined to be retcent but learning
that the information desired was about the
alarming increase of Bright's disease, his
manner changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease has in
creased 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, Carpenter Bishop Haven and
nth thl.c his ic farri oh
growth than that of any other known COM
plant. 1t must be plain to every one that
something must be done to check this increase
OF there is no knowing where it may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
Warner."
Hundreds of thousands. Ihave striking
example of this truth which has just come to
my notice. A prominent professor in New
Orleans medical college was lecturing before
his class on the subject of Brght's disease.
He had various fluids under microscopic analy-
sis and was showing the students what the in
dlcatlOnS 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 said,
as we have seen the unhealthy indications,
will show you how it appears in state of per-
feet health, and he submitted his own fluid to
the usual test. As he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his color and
command both left him and in trembling
voice ne said: Gentlemen, l have made a
painful discovery; have Bright's disease of
the kidneys" and in less than year he was
dead"
"You believe then that it has no symptoms
of its own and is frequently unknown even by
the person who is afflicted with it!n
6 1t has no symptoms of its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people have
the same symptoms, and frequently death is
the first symptom. The slightest indications
of any kidney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one. / know what l am
talking about for have been through all the
stages of kidney disease
You know of DR.. Henion's casea"
"Yes, have both read and heard of it''
at is very wonderful, is it notsn
GA very prominent case, but no more so
than great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cured by the same
means"
You believe then that Bright's disease can
be cured!n
81 knowit can. / know it from the expert
ence of hundreds of prominent persons who
were given up to die by both their physicians
and friends"
You speak of your own experience, what
was it!"

fitted for business for years. But | did not
