A Remarkable Statement Fully Confirmed
by Three Important Interviews.


circles and on the street. Apparently IL
caused 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 day since, which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. IL would be impossible 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
investigation of tho subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative of
this paper called on DIR. Henion at his resi-
denco, when the following interview oc-
CURED
"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
sustaiu2'
Every one of them aud 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. 1t
was marvellous"
How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so lowT
=" By neglectng tho first and most simple
true had frequent headaches felt tired
most of the time; could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next; felt dull, in
definite pains, and my stomach was out of
order, but did not think it meant anything
serious"
But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Brights disease which
took so firm a hold on your
Anything Why they are the sure indica-
tions of the first stages Of that dreadful mall

what ails them, and am sorry to say that too
few physicians do either"
THAT is q strange statement doctor"
"But it a true one. The medical profession
have oeen treating symptoms instead of dis
eases for years, and it is high time it ceased.

symptoms l have just mentioned or any un-
usual action or irritation of the water chan

even more than cough announces the COM

cough but try to help tho lungs. We should
not waste our time trying TO relieve the
headache, stomach, pains about the body ol
other symptoms, but 60 directly to the kid

This them is what you meant when you
said more than one.half the deaths which

Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when IL
reality 1t is Bright's disease IN some one of it:
many forms. 1t is a hydra-headed monster
and the slightest symptoms should strike
terror to every one who hSs them, car
look back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared Mt the time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease
pneumonia, malarial fever and other com
mon complaints which l SEQ now were
caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all those cases have simple symp
toms at frstH'
Every one Of them, and might have beer
cured, as / was, by the timely use of the sam,

my eyes thoroughly open in this matter, ant
think / am helping others to see the fact'
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 anC
see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick tn,
same as l, snd is tho healthiest man il
Rochester to-day. He has made study Of
this subject and can give you more facts thar
l can. Go, too, aud SEQ DR.. baltimore, th'
chemist, at the university. If you want fact
there are any quantity of them showing tn,
alarming increase of Brights disease, ii
simple and deceptive symptoms, and there IL
but one way by which it can be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the
doctors words, tho reporter bade him goot
day, and called on Mr.. Warner at his estab
lishment on Exchange street. At first Mr.
Warner was inclined TO be reticent, but learn
ing 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 Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in thepast ten years its growtl
has been 250 per cent. Look at the promi
nent men it has carried otf-Eyerett, Sum
ner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops Haver
and Peck, and Others This is terrible, anc
shows. u greater growth than that of any othe
known complaint 1t should be plain /,
every one that something must be done Il
check this increase or there is no knowing
where it may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with il to-day who do not realize it, Mr.
Warnerp
Hundreds of thousands. have strik
ing example of this truth which has just com,
to my notice. prominent professor in
New Orleans medical college was lecturinl
before his class on the subject of Bright'
disease. He had various fluids under micro
scopic analysis, and was showing the students
what the indications of this terrible malady
were. In order to show the contrast betweei
healthy and unhealthy fluids, he had pro
vided vial, the contents of which wer,

healthy indications, will show you how /
