TIE FLOWER CITY PuRoRE.
The commotion Caused by the Statement
Of q Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
N, Democrat and Chronicle was pabliahed
in this paper recently, and has been the sub
jecs of much conversation, both in profess
sional circles and on the street. Apparently
| it caused more commotion in Rochester as
| the following from the same paper shows:
DR.. J. B. Heniop. who is well known not
only in Rochester, but in nearly every part
of America, sent an extended article to this
| paper few days since, which was duly pub
listed, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed certain death.
1t would be impossible to enumerats the per-
sonal inquiries which have been made at our
| office as to the validity of the article, but
they have been SO numerous that further in
vestigation of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view q representative of
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his res.
idence 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 sus-
ain?"
EVERY one Of them snd many additional
ones. Few people ever get SO near the grave
as l did and then return, and am not sur
prised that the public think it marvellous. 1t

"By neglecting the first aud most simple
symptoms. 1 did not think was sick. 1t is
| true l 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

which took SO firm hold on your"
| Anything? Why, they are the sure indi-
cations Of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ails them, and 1 am sorry to say
that too few physicians do either"
THAT is o strange statement, Doctor"
But it is true one. The medical pro-
fession 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 of irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach of Bright's
disease even moro 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 re-
lieve the headache, stomach, pains about the
body or other symptoms. but go directly to
the kidneys, the source If most CT these all
| ments F."
| 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 so-called dis
eases are torturiug people to-day. when in
reality il is Bright's disease in some one of It's
many forms. 1t is hydra. headed monster,
and the slightest symptoms should strike
| terror to every one VINO has them. 1 can
look back and recall hundreds of deaths which
physicians declared sill the time were caused
by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease. pneu-
monis, matarlal fever and other common
complaints which sea now were caused by
Brignt's disease"
And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first ~
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as L was by the timely Use of the same
remedy-Wnrner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened in this mater, and think l am heip-
ing 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 go and see Mr.. Warner
himself. He was sick the same az I, and is
the hsslthiest men in Rochester to-day. He
has made a study cf this subject, and can
give you nCrS l4cbS IMAM can zoo, and
see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at the Uni
versity. If you want facts there are any
quantity Of them showing the alarming in
crease OF BtighL's disease, its simple aud de-
| cep!ive symptoms, and that there is but one
way by which it can be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and forcs of the
doctors words, the reporter babe him good
day and called on MIR. Warner on Exchange
street. At FIRST MIR. Warner was inclined to
be reticert. but learning that the information
desired was about the alarming increase of
| Bri yhts disease his manner changed instantly
and he spoke very earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease has in.
creased wonderfully, and We 6nd by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the
prominent men it has carried off {: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop
Haven and Others. This is terrible, aud
shows a greater growth than that of any
other known complaint. 1t should be plain
to every one that something must be done to
check this increas3 or there is no knowing
where it may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day VINO do not resiizs it, Mr..
Wsrner?'
Hundreds of thousands. / have strik-
ing example of this truth which has Just
come to mv notca. A prominent professor
in New Orleans medical college was iectur-
ing before his class the subject of Bright's
disease. He lad various fui55 under micro
