An unusual article from tho Rochester, n. K,
Democrat and Oh,on5cle, was Published in this
paper yecently and has becn subject OF much
conversation, both In professional circles and
on the street. Apparently it caused even moro
commotion Ia 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 America,
! sent an extended article TO this paper, xeW
/ days since which was duly published, detailing
| his remarkable experience and rescue from
| what seemed to be certain death. It would be-
| impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our ofaco a. 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 In view repreeentatiye Of this
st. Paul street. when the following interview
occurred: "That article OF yours, Doctor, has
created quito whiriwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were In, and
the way you were rescued such 40 you can sus-
every one Of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get 10 near the grave as
did and then return, and am not surprised
that the public think 1t marvslouS. It was
marvellous"
"How in tho world did you, physician,
como to be brought 10 low2"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
| symptoms. did not think ! was sick. 1t In
true had frequent headaches /; felt tired most
of the time could eat nothing ono day and was
ravenous the next felt dull indefinite pains
and my stomach was outof order, bat did not
| think it meant anything serious"
"But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Brights diseases which
took 80 firm hold on you?"
| "Anything2 Why, they are the sure indioa-
lions Of the irst stages OF that dreadful NAL
ady. The fact Is, few people know or realize
what ails thenl, and am sorry to cay that too
few physcians do either"
"Thet is strange statement, Doctor"
| "But it In o true one. The medical profession
have been treating symptoms instead Of dis
eases for years, and 1t is high time it ceased.
We doctors have been clipping OK the twigs
when we should strike at the root. The symp-
ton or irritation OF the water channels indicate
the approach Of Bright's disease oven more
than . cough announces the coming Of con-
to help the lungs. We shonld not waste our
time trying to relieve the headache, stomach,
pains about the body or other symptoms, but
go directly to the Kidneys, the source Of most
Of theSe ailments"
"This, then, 10 what you meant when you
said that moro than one-half OF the deaths
which OCCUR arise from Bright'S disease, Is it
| Doctor ?"
"Precisely Thousands of so-oalled diseases
are torturing people to-day, when in reality it
Is Brights disease In some ono Of It's many
forms. It In Hydraheaded monster, snd tho
slightest symptoms should strike terror to every
]
hundreds OF deaths which physicisns declared
at the time were caused by paralysis, spoplexy,
heart disease, puemonia, malaral fever and
other common complaints which I SEQ now were
caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
| toms at irstp"
every one Of them, and might have been
cured as WAS by the timely use Of tho same
remedy-Warner's 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 sub
jeot. If you want to know more about 1t go
and sec Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
sanie &c ], and Is the healthiest man In Roches-
ter to-day. He has made study of this sub
Ject and can give you moro faots than oan.
Go, too, and see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at
the University. If you want facts there are
any Quantity of them showing the alarming in
crease OF Bright's disease, its simple and decep-
tive symptoms, and that there ig but one way
by which it can ba escaped"
Fully satisfied OF the truth and furce of the
Doctors words, the reporter bade him good
ment on E1cbehge street. At frat MIR. Warner
was lnchled to be raticent but learning that
th6 Information desired was about the alarming
irorease of Brights disease, his manner changed
instantly and he spoke very earnestly;
"It 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
IN.
| Carpenter, Bishop, Haven and others. This ie
terrible and shows greater growth than that
Of any other known complaint. It must be
. plain to overy one that something must be done
| whereit 1t may end"
"Do you think many people are AFFLICTED with
1t to-day who do not realize It. Mr.. Warner9'
Hundreds OF thousands. 1 have o striking
example Of this truth which has Just come to
my notice. A prominent professor In q New
Orleans medical college was lecturing before bis
GLASS on the subject OF Brights disease. He
nag various fluids under microscopic analysis
and was showing the students what the indica-
lions OF this terrible mRlady were. In order to
draw the contrast between healthy and nm.
healthy fluids he had provided Vial the con-
tents Of which were drawn from his own per
son. And now, gentlemen he said, as we
have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show
and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test,
AS he watched the results his countenance sud-
denly changed--hs color and command both
left him and In trembling voice he said
qentlemen, have made painful discovery

less than u year he was dead"
"You believe then that 1t has no Bymptoms
Of Its own, and is frequently unknown even by
The person who 10 afflicted withit?"
