THE FLOWER CITY FURORE.

The Commotion Caused by the Statement
of . Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester
n. z, Democrat and CAronicle, was pub
lished in this paper recently and has been
| the subject of much conversation, both il
professional circles and on the street. Ap.
Parently it caused more commotion in
Rochester, as the following from the same
paper shows:
DR.. j. B. Henion, who is well known moi
| only in Rochester, but in nearly every part
| of America, sent an extended article tc
| this paper, a few days since, which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to enumerate 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 investiQa.
ton of the subject was deemed an editorial
| necessity.
With this end in view representative Of
| this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his res
idence on st. Paul street, when the follow.
ling interview occurred: "That article OF
yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirl-

not surprised that the public think it mar

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 80 firm hold on your"
Anything? Why, they are the sure in
dications of the first stages of that dread
full malady. The fact is, few people know
OR realize what ails them, and I 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
clipping off the twigs when we should
strike at the root. The symptoms have
just mentioned Or any unusual action or
irritation OF the water channels indicate
the approach of Bright's disease even
more than aieough announces the coming
Of consumption. We Go rot treat the
cough, but try to help the lungs We
should not waste our time trying to re-
Heve the headache, stomach, pains about
| the body or other symptoms, but go di-
rectly to the kidneys, the source of most
of these ailments.
''This. then, was 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-caIied dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one OF
its many forms. It is hydra-headed
| 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 these cases have simple symp-
toms at frst?"
"Every one of them, and might have
been cured as l was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. I 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. 1t you want to know more about it

sick the same as I, and is the healthiest
man In Rochester to-day. He has made
study of this subject and can give you
more facts than can. Go, too, and see
DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at the Uni
versity. 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
first Mr.. Warner was inclined to be reti-
cent, but learning that the information de-
sired was about the alarming increase of
Bright's disease, his manner changed in
stantly and he spoke very earnestly:
''It is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and We find, by relia-
BILE statistics. that in the past ten years its
growth has been $50 per cent. Look at
the prominent men it has carried off: Ever
EFT, Summer, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter,
Bishop1Haven and others. This is terri
bic and shows greater growth than that
of any other known complaint. It should
be plain to every one 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..
Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. have strik-
ing example of this truth which has Just
come to my notice. A prominent profess
sor in New Orleans medical college was
lecturing before his class on the subject of
Bright's disease. He had various fluids un-
der microscopic analysis, and was showing
the students what the indications of this
terrible malady we're. In order to show
the contrast between healthy and un-
healthy fluids, he had provided vial, the
contents of which were drawn from his
own person. And now, gentlemen
