REINvEsTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully Confirmed
by Three Important Interviews.

following from the same paper. shows:
DIR. B. Henion, who is well known not
only In Rochester, but in nearly every part of
America, sent an extended article to this
paper a few days since, which was duly pub
iished. detailing his rem arkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumerate
the personal iuqairies which have bean 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 nee sssity.
When this end in view representative Of
this papsr called on DIR. Henion at his resi-.
dence, when the following interview occurred {:
"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 sus.
tain 2"
every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get so near the grave
as did and then return. and am rot sur
prised that the public think it marvellous 1t
was marvellous"
"How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. l did not think l was sick 1t
| ia true had frequent headaches felt tired
most of the time could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next; felt dull, in
definite palms, and my stomach was out of
order, but | did not think it meant anything
serious"
"But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm hold On you?"
Anything? Why they are the sure indi.
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ais 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 instead
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 chan.
nels indicate the approach of Brights dis.
ease even more than cough announces the
coming of consumption. We do not treat
the cough, but try to help the lungs. We
should not waste our time trying to relieve
the headache, stomach, pains about the body
or other symptoms, but go directly to the
kidneys, the source of most of these sil.
ments."
This, then, is what you meant when you
said more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Brights disease, is it doc
tor ?"
"Prec;sely. Thousands of so.called dis
eases are torsuring people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one Of
it's many forms. 1t is Hydra-headed
monster and the slightest symp oms should
strike terror TO everyone who has them. |
can look back and rec Ill hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time were
| caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumoHia, malaral fever and other common
complaints which | see now were caused by
Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first?'
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as was by the timely use of the same
remedy-Warner's Safe Cure. l am getting
my eyes thoroughly open in this matter, and
think | am helping others to zee the facts and
their possible danger also. Why, there are
! no end of truths bearing on this subject. Ii
you want to know more about it go and see
Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the same
as l, and is the heslthie;t man in Rochester
to-day. He has made study Of this subject,
and can give you more facts thsn can. Go,
too, and see DR.. Lattimore, tbs chemist, at
the University. If you waot facts there are
any quantity of them showing the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, its simple and
deceptive symptoms, and Jtere is but one way
| by which it can be escaped"
| Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the
doc. ors words, the reporter bade him good
day, and called at Mr.. Warner at his estab-
lishment on Exchange street. At first MIR.
| Warner was inclined to be reticent, but
learning that the information desired was
about hs alarming increase of Bright's dis
ease, his manner changed instantly and he
spoke very earnestly:
at ia true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and We find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years It's
growth has beea $50 per cent. Look at the
| prominent men it has carried off: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This is ter
rible, and shows a greater growth than that
Of any other known complaint. 1t 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 sfff 'cted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
| Warner?'
Hundreds of thousands. I have strik-
| ing example of this truth which has just
come to my notice. A prominent professor in
a New Ollears medical college was lecturing
before his class on the subject of Bright's dis
ease. He had various huids under micros-
copic analysis, and was showing the students
what the indications of this terrible malady
were. In order to show the contrast between
healthy and unhealthy fluids, he had pro.
vided vial. the contents of which were
drawn from his own person. Aud now,
gentlemen, he said, as we have seen the
unhealthy indications, 1 will show you how
it appears in a state of perfect health, and
! he submitted his own fluid to the usual test.
As he watched the results, his own couote-
nance changed-his color and commsnd both
left him, and in trembling voice he said
Gentlemen, | have made painful discov.
cry; have Bright's disease of the kidneys,
and 10 less than year he was dead"
"You believe, then, at it has no symp.
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with it p
cit has no symptoms Of its own, and very
often none at ell. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently
death is the frat symptom. The slightest in
dication of any kidney difficulty should be
enough to strike terror to any one. l know
what / am talking about. for l have been
through all the staGes of kidney disease"
"You know of DR.. Henion's cass?"
Eyes, l have both read and heard Of it.
ut is very wonderful, is it not?"
IA very prominent case, but no more SO
than a great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cured by the same
| MEANS"
"You believe, then, that Brighps disease
can be cured ?"
Il know it can. know it from the expe-
riencs Of hundreds of prominent persons who
were given up to die by both their physicians
and friends"
you speak of your own experience; what
was it ?"
"a fearful one. 1 had felt laneuid and
untitled for business for years. But l did not
| know what allied me. When, however,
found twas kidney difficulty thought there
was little hope, and 80 did the doctors.
have since learned that one of the physicians
of this city pointed me out to q gentleman on
the street one day, saying, There goes a
man who will be dead within year. | be-
lieve his words would have proven true if I
had not fortunately secured and used the
remedy now known as Warmers Safe Cure"
"And this caused you 10 manufacture it p
No; it caused me to investigate. I went
to the principal cities, saw physicians pre-
scribing aud using it, and I therefore deter
mined, as a duty owed humanity and the
suffering, to bring it within their reach, and
now it is known in ever part Of America. is
sold in every drug store and has become q
household necessity"
The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much i'm
pressed with the earnestness and sincerity Of
| his statements, and next paid visit to DIR.
