The Commotion Caused by tho Statement
of a Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester
New York, Democrat and Chronicle was re.
published in this paper yesterday and was
a subject Of much conversation in this city
during the day, both in professional circles
and on the street. Apparently it caused
even more commotion 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 America, sent an extended article to this
paper few days since which was duly pub.
| lished, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumer-
ate the personal inquiries 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 in view a representative OF
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his resi-
dence, on st. Paul street, when the follow
| ing interview occurred: That article OF
yours, Doctor, has created quite whirl-
wind. Are the statements about the terri
BILE condition you were in, and the way you
were rescued such as you can sustain Y'
EVERY one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as | did and then return, and | am not sur
prised that the public think it marvellous.

How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low"
by neglecting 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 did not think it meant any
! thing serious"
But have these common ailments any
| thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm hold on youH
Anything? Why they are the sure in
| dications OF the first stages of that malady.
| The fact is few people know or realize
what ails them, and | am sorry to say that
| too few physicians do either"
THAT is strange statement, doctor"
"But it is true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
! stead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been clip
ping off the twigs when we should strike at
| the root. The symptoms 1 have just men
toned or any unusual action or irritation OF
the water channels indicate the approach
of Bright's 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 try
ing 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, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the deaths
which occur arise from Brghts disease, Is
it, Doctor"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are tOrtnring people to-day, when In
reality it is Bright's disease in some of its
many forms. 1t is a Hydra-headed mon
ster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them. L
can look back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart dis
ease, pneumonia, mnlarial fever and other
common complaints, which | see now were
caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at iirst?"
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as | was by the timely use of the same
remedy-Warner' Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. / am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened in this matter, and think am help
ing others to see the facts aud their possible
danger also. Why, there are no end Of
truths bearing on this subject. lfyou want
to know more about it, 70 and see Mr..
Warner himself. He was sick the same rs
l. and is the healthiest man in Rochester
to-day. He has made a study OF this sub
ject, and can give you more facts than |
can. Go, too, and sec DR.. baltimore, the
chemist, at the university. If you want
facts, there are any quantity OF them show
ing the alarming increase OF Brights dis
ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms,
and that there is but ore way by which II
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 ut his
establishment on Exchange street. At first
Mr.. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but
learning that the information desired was
about the alarming increase Of Brights
disease, his manner changed instantly and
he spoke very earnestly:
at is true that Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by relia-
Bile statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been go per cent. Look AT the
prominent men il has carried of: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop
Haven and others. This is terFgOle and
shows a greater growth than that Of any
other known complaint. is must be plain
10 every one that something must be done
to check this increase or there is no know
ing where it may end.
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize II, Mr..
Wagner p

ing example of this truth which has Just
