TIE CONNECTION CAUSED BY THE STATEMENT
OF PHYSICIAN.
An uruaull artiole from tho Rochester N.
Y, Democrat and Chronicle, was republished
10 THE paper, ard was subject of muca COZ
versstion. both in professional circles and on
| tho street. Apparently it caused even moro
c,mmotion 10 Rochester, as lhs following from
| the same paper shows:
DR.. j. b. Hebion Who is well-inowa not only
| IN Rochester but 10 noafly evsiy port of Amer
, ics. s,nt 40 extended article to this piper, q
] few days slncs which was duly published, detail
Ing his remarkable experience and rescue from
| what seemed to ba osrtsln death. II would be
| impossible to erumerate the personal enquiries
\ validity of The article. but they have been %
nu nerous that further Investigation of the sub
set was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this ED in view repres ptatigo of
this paper called on Dr.. Herou. at his resi-
derce on st. Paul street, when the following
| interview occurred: That article of yours,
| Doctor, has created qaite whirlWind. Are the
| statements about the terrible cuodition you were
10, and the way you were rescued such as you
can sustain 2"
Every one Of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get 80 near the grave
| as did and then re1ru, aud [ am not sur
prised tha: 'hs public think it marvellous. 1t
| WAS marvellous"
How in the world did you. a physician,
| come to bs brought q, low2
by negl.ctiug ths fret aud mess simple
symptoms. / did ros thick l was nck. It is
| true had frt qusnt headaches felt tired most
OF The time could eat notbirg cue dsy and was
r.vencus the next; felt dull indefuite pains and
my stomach was out of ord;r, tut did not
| think it m saut anything serious"
But have these COMMON ailments anything
to do With the fearful Brieh.'a disease which
took so firm hold on you p
.'ADythiDg? Why. they arc the surs indi-
caIors OF the frat stages oft that dreadful NAL
aty. Ihs tacs is. few peopls know or realizs
what s'ia them. aud l am sorry to say that too
few physicians do either"
mat ID strange statement. Dcctor.
"Bnt 1t ls q true one. The medical profession
have been treating symptoms instead of dlses-
ses TOR years. aud it is high time it, ceased.
We doctors havc been clipping eff the twiRs
wheo va should strike nt The root. The symp-
toms hsv, lust mentioned or any unusual &C.
ton or Irritation of the water channels indicate
ths approach cf Bfigh.5 disease even more
than o,ugh auncuscss the coming of consump-
lion. We do not treat tho cougd, but t1y TO
help ths lungs. We should not waste cur liue
'rying to relieve the headache, stomach, pains
shout the body or other symptoms, tn: 70 d.
recsly to the kidutyJ, the source Of mess of
these ai'msnts.'
This, then, is what you meant when YOU
said thnt more than one-haIf the deaths which
occur sriss from Bfight's disease, is it Doctor ?
Precisely. Thousands Of ,cled diseases
are toriuling people to-day, when in reality it
ls Brlght,s disease 10 some one OF its many
forms. Its 9 Hyiraheaded monster, and the
slightest symptoms should strike terror to every
one who has them, I can look back and recall
hundreds OF deaths which physicians have de-
cared at tho tlmo ware CAUSED by paralysis, sppc-
plexy, hest disease, pneumonia, matarial fever
aud other complaints which l sec now yers
caused by Bright's DISEASE"
And did ell thess GASES have simple symr-
toms st 6rss?"
Every ono Of them. and might havs been
cured as [ WAS by the timely use Of tho same
Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. am getting my eyes thoroughly opsned
10 this matter and think [ am helping others
to see tho fees and their possible danger also,
Why. there are no eud of truths bearing on
