circles and on the streets. Apparently Il
caused more connection in Rochester, as the

euumerate the personal inquiries which have
been made at our office as TO the validity Of
the article, but they have been so numerou;
| that further investigation of the subject Wa'
deemed an editorial necessity.
| With this end in view a representative o
| this paper called on DIR. Henjon, at his resi-
deuce. on St. Paul street, when the following
| interview occurred:
"That article of yours, doctor, has created
quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you were in and the
way you were rescued such as you can sus-

{ realize what ais them, and L sm sorry 10
say that too few physicians do either"
GThat is a strange statement, doctor"
But ii is true one. The medical profess

| diseases for years, and it is high time ii
| ceased We doctors have been clipping of
| the twigs when we should have struck at the
root. The symptoms / have Just mentioned,
or any unusual action or irritation OF the
| water channels, indicate the approach of
Brisht's disease even more than a cough an
nounces the coming of consumption. We do
| not treat the cough, but try 10 help The lungs.
We should not waste our lime trying 10 re-
lieve the headache, stomach, pains about the
body, or other symptoms, but go directly 10
the kidneys, the source OF most OF these all
ments"
'rhis, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than one-half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease, is
| ii, doctor?"
"Precisely. Thousands of so-ealled dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Brights disease in some one OF
its many forms. 1t is a hydra-headed mon
ster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who hes them. l
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 COM
mon compiai which / Bee 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 / was by the timely of the same
remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. L am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened in this matter, and think am help
ing others TO see The facts and their possible
danger also. Why, there are no end OF truths
bearing upon this subject. III you want 10
know more about 1t go and see Mr.. Warner
himself. He sick the same as i, and is
the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He
has made a study of his subject and can give
you more facts than / can. Go, too, and see
DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at the University.
If you want facts there are any quantity of
them showing the alarming increase OF
Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive
symptoms, and that there is but one way by
which it can be escaped"
Fully Satisfied of the truth and force of
the doctors words, the reporter babe him
good day and called on Mr.. Warner, at his
establishment on Exchange street. AT frat
Mr.. Warner was inclined to be reticenl, but
learning that the information desired was
about the alarming increase OF Brighps dis
ease, his manner changed instantly and he
spoke very earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find by reliable
statistics, that ia the past ten years lis
growth has been 250 per cent. Look at tine
prominent men j. has carried of: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter Bishop
Haven and others. This is terrible, and
shows greater growth than that OF any
other known complaint. Il should be plain
TO everyone that something must be done TO
check this increase or there is no knowing
where it may end"
Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
WarnerP'
"Huudreds OF thousands / have strik-
ing example of this ruth which has Just
come to my notice. prominent professor
in New Orleans medical college was lectur-
ing before his class on the subject OF Bright's
disease. He had various fluids under mi
croscopic analysis, and was showing the stu
dents what the indications of this terrible
malady were. ln order TO show the contrast
between healthy and unhealthy huids, he
had provided a vial the contents of which
were drawn from his own person. And now,
gentlemen he said, 'as we have seen the I'M
healthy indicatIons, L will show you how ii
appears in state OF perfect health and he
submitted his own fluid TO the usual test. As
he watched the results his countenance sud

You believe then that il has no symptoms |
OF its own and is frequently unknown even |
by the person who Is s1flicted with il?"
1t has no symptoms of its own and very |
often none at all. Usually no two people |
have the same symptoms, and frequently
death Is the first symptom. The slightest |
indications OF any kidney difficulty should |
be enough 10 strike terror to any one. |

You know of DIR. Htnon's case?"
Yes, nave both read and heard Of it,"

The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much i'm
ressed with the earnestness and sincefity |
his statements, and next paid a visit 10 |
Dr. s. Lsttimore at his residence on Prince
rect. DR.. baltimore, although busily en-
aged upou some matters connected with the

ons that were propounded him:
"Did you make chemical analysis of the
