EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The commotion Caused by the Statement of
Physician.

commotlon In Rochester, as the following from
the same paper shows:
DR.. j. b. Henion, who is well-known not only
IN Rochester but IN nearly every part of Amer
lea, sent an extended article to this paper,
few days since, which was duly published de-
failing bis remarkable experience and rescue
from what seemed to be certain death. 1t
would be impossible to enumerate the personal
enquiries which have been made 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 editorial necessity.
with this end III view q 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 whirlHind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition yOu were IN, and
the way you were rescued such as you can sus-
tain?'
Every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave as
| did and then return, and l am not surprised
that dhe public think it marvellous. 1t was
marvellous"
"Hew in the world did you, a physician,
come to be brought SO low?"
'By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think l was sick. 1t is
true L had frequent headaches; felt tired most
of the time; could eat nothing one day and was
rayenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains and
my stomach was out of order, but I did not

But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Brights disease which
took firm hold on you?n
Anything? Why, they are the sure indca-
tons of the first stages of that dreadful malady
The fact Is, few people know or realize what ais
them, and am sorry to say that too few physi-
clans. do, either"
" That is a strange statement, DOCTOR"
. But it is a true one. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms instead of
diseases for years, and 1t is high time it ceased.
We doctors have been clipping off the twIes
when 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 Brlghts disease even more than
a 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, paius 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 Brights disease, is it, doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands of soc He'd dis
eases are torturing people to-day when in real
ity 1t IS Brights disease i'll some one of its many
| forms. 1t Is a hydraheaded monster, and the
slightest symptoms should strike terror to every
one who has them. | can look back aud recall
hundreds Of deaths which physicians declared
at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
other common complaints which see now were
caused by Brlght's disease"
- And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at trst?"
Every of Them and might have been
cured as l was by the timely use of the same
remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
| am getting my eyes thoroughly opened III this
matter and think / am helping others to see the
facts and their possible danger also Whv,
there are no end of truths bearing on this sub
ject. If you want to know more about it go and
see Mr.. Warner himself He was sick the same
as l. and is the healthest man in Rochester to-
day. He has made study of this subject aud
can give you more facts than l can. Go, too
and see DR.. baltimore, the caemist at the UNI
verslty. If you want facts, there are any guam
| tity OF them, showing the alarming increase of
Bright disease, Its simple and deceptive symp-
toms, and that there but one way by which
| 1t can be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the
| doctors 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 retlcent, but learning that the
information desired was about the alarming in
| crease of Bright's disease his manner changed
| instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
| 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
| 200 per cent. Look at the prominent men it
| has carried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, VIII
| son, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and others.
! This Is terrible and shows a greater growth
| than that of any other known complaint. 1t
must be plain to every one that something must
| be done to check this increase or 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. l have a strik-
| ing example of this Truth which has lust come
to my notice. prominent professor m a New
| Orleans medical college was lecturing before
| his class on the subject of Brights disease
| He had various fluids under microscopic analy-
! sis and was showing the students what the in
| dications 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 a state of perfect
| health and he submitted his own fluid t. the
usual test. As he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-hs color and
command both left him and in a trembling
voice he said: Gentlemen, l have made a
painful discovery: Ihave Bright's disease of
the kidneys and in less than year he was
| dead"
"You believe then that it has no symptoms
of It's own and is frequently unknown even by
| the person who Is afflicted with it?'
| 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 am
| talking about for / have been through all the
| stages of kidney disease"
| "You know of Dr. HeDlon's case 7"
"Yes, have both read and heard of it,
| ''Itis very wonderful is it uot?"
! ga very prominent case but no more so than
great many others that have come to my no
tice as having been cured by the same means. -
"You believe then that Brights disease can
be curedY
II know it can. I 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?"
ga fearful one. l had felt lanquid and IN
fitted for business for years. But l did not
know what allied me. When, however, / found
it kidney difficulty | thought there was
little hope aud so did the doctors. have since
| learned that one of the physicians Of this city
pointed me out to gentleman on the street one
day, saying: There goes man who will be
dead within year. | Believe his words would
have proven true If / had not fortunate ely Sc
| cured and used the remedy now known as
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure"
"And this caused you to manufacture it?"
"No, it caused me to investigate. l went to
the principal cities with DR.. Craig, the dscov-
erer, and saw the physicians prescribing and
| using it and saw that DIR. Craig was unable with
his facilities, to supply the medicine to thou
sands who wanted IT. | therefore determined,
as duty L owed humanity and the suffering, to
bring it within their reach and now it is known
| in every part of America is sold in every drug
store and has become household necessity"
The reporter left Mr.. Warner much impressed
with the earnesnIess and sincerity of lis state
ments and next paid n visit to DIR. s. A. I4atti-
