ment of u Physician.

An unu .ual article from the RJcheste,
\. Y. Democrat and Chronicle. was re
published 10 this paper yesterday aod was
q subject OF much conversation in this
city during the day, both in profe sslona
circles and on the street. Apparently II
caused even more commotion In Rochester.
as the following from the same paper
shows:
DR.. J. 3 Henion, who is we'll known
not only ia Rochester out in nearly every
part of America, sent an extended article
TO this paper. q few days since which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience n rescue from what seemed
certain death. 1t would be impossible to
enumerate the personal enquiries which
have been made at our Office as to the va
lldity 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 a representative
of this paper called on DR., Henion, at his
residence on St. Paul street, when the fol.
lowing interview occurred THAT art
Gle of yours, Doctor, has created quite q
whir,wind. Are the statements about the
terrible condition you were in, and the way
you were rescued such as you can sus.aln7'
Every one of them and many addition
al ones. Few people ever get 80 near the
grave as l did and then return, and l am
not surprised that the public think it mar
velous. 1t was marvellous"
How in the world did you, a physician
come to be brought 80 low2"
"By neglectlng the first and most simple
symptoms. / do not think l was sick. It
is true bad frequent headaches; could
eat nothing one day and was ravenous the
next felt dull indefinite pains and my
stomach was out Of order, but I did not
think it meant anything Serious" .
but have these comnou ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's dis
ease which took 80 firm q hold en- your"
"ADything? Why, they are the sure in
dications OF the first stages of that dread
full malady. The fact is, few people know
or realiz, what ails them, and I am sorry
that too few physicians do either"
"That Is a strange statement, Doctor"
"But 1t is a true one. Tue medical pro-
fession nave been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been
clipping of the tvlgs when we should
strike at the root. The symptoms / have
just mentioned or any unusual action or
irritation OF the water channelsindlcate the
approach of Bright's disease ever more
than a cough announces the coming of con-
sumption. 1--WE do not treat the congh, but
try to help the lungs. We should not
waste our time trying to relieve the head
ache, stomach, pains 0 the body or
other symptoms, but go directly to tho
kidneys, the source of most Of these all
ments."
"This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the deaths
which occur arse from Br1ght's disease, IS
it doctor?
"Prccisely. Thousands OF so-called dis
eases are torturing people to day, when in
reality 1t is Bright's disease in some one If
Its many forms. 1t Is a H~ydraheaded
monster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror TO every one who has them.
| can look back and recall hundreds of
deaths which. physicians declared at the
time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease. pneumonia, malarial fever
and other common complaints which I see
now were caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first?"
Every one of them, and might have
been cured as l was by the timely use of
the same Warmers 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 sub.
ject. If you want to know more about il
60 and see Mr. Warner himself. He was
sick the same as l, and is the healthies,
man in Rochester to-day, he has made a
: study of this subject and can give 70
more facts than l can Go, too, and see
DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at the Cnlver
sity. II you want facts there are an,
: quantity of them showing the alarming ia
crease of Bright's disease, its simple ant
: deceptive symptoms, and that there Is bu'
!. one way by which 1t can be escaped"
Fully satisfied Of the truth and force Of
the Doctors words the reporter babe hin
good day and called ON Mr.. Warner at hi
t establishment on Exchange street. At frs
t MIR. Warner was inclined to be r~etitent
but learning that the information desired
was about the alarming increase OF Bright
l disease, his manner changed instantly, AM
be spoke very earnestly:
/ lit is true that Bright's disease has In
creased wonderfully, and we find. by re
liable statistics, that in the past ten year
its growth has been $50 per cent. Look q
the prominent men it has carried oil
Everett, Sumner. Chase, Wilson, Carper
ter, Bishop Haven and others. This
terrible and shows a greater growth tina

must be done II check this increase G
