RE.INyESTIGATED.

~ Democrat and Chronicle was published IN
this paper recently and has been the subject
Of much compensation both in professional
circles and on the street Apparently it
caused more commotion In Rochester, as
the following from the same paper shows; ]
DR. J. b Henicn, who IL well known not
only V Rochester, but in nearly every part
paper, few days since which was duly
published, detailing his remarkable expert
ence and rescue from what seemed TO be
certain death. 1t would be impossible to
enumerate the personal inquiries which
have been made at'our office as to the valid
ity of the article, but they have been SO
numerous that further investigation Of the
subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view q representative Of
this paper called on DR.. Henion at his resi-
dence, when the following interview occur.
red:
THAT article Of yours, doctor, has created
quite q whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in
and the way you were rescued, such as you
can sustainy"
Every one Of them and 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 1t marvellous
1t was marvellous"
~How In the world did you, q physician,
come to be brought so lowy"
by neglecting the first and most simple
symphonic did not think was sick. 1t is
true l had frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time; could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next; felt dull, indeh-
mite pains, and my stomach was out OF or
der but did not think 1t meant anything
serious"
@But have these common ailments any
thing 20 do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm "a hold on your
sl... sx.Tit
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ails them, and l am sorry to
say that too few physicians do either.
That IL strange statement, doctor.
But it Is n true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and IL is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been clip
ping off the twigs when we should strike at
the root The symptoms i have just men
toned or any unusual action or irritation OF
the water channels indicate the approach of
Brights disease even more than cough an
nounces the coming of consumption. We
do not treat the cough but try to help the
lungs We should not waste our time try
ing to relieve the headache, stomach, pains
about the body or other symptoms, but go
directly TO the kidneys, the source Of most
of these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant when you
said more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Brights disease, is 1t, doc
tori"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are, torturing people to- day. when in
reality it is Bright's disease ia some one of
it's many forms 1t is q hydra headed
monster, and the slig htest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them l
can look back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time were
caused by paralysis, apopleXy, heart dis
ease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other
common complaints which now see were
caused by Bright's disease"
And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at firsty"
Every one of them, and might have been
cured, as l 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 see
the facts and their possible danger also.
Why, there are no end of truths bearing on
this subject III you want TO know more
about il go and see Mr.. Warner himself He
was sick, the same as l. and is the healthiest
rnun in Rochester to-day. he has made q
study of this subject and can give you more
facts than l can. Co. too, and see DR.. Latti-
more, the chemist at the University. If
you want facts there are any quantity of
them, showing the alarming increase of
Brights disease, its simple and deceptive
svinptoms and there is but one way by
which it can be escaped
Fully sstisiied OF t. C truth and force of the
doctors words, the reporter babe him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his estab-
lishment on Exchange street AT first Mr..
Warner was inclined to be reticent; but,
learning that the information desired was
about the alarming increase OF Brfght's dis
ease, his manner changed instantly and he
spoke very earnestly
1T is true that Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been $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 terri
BILE, and shows a greater growth than that of
any other known complaint. 1t should be
plain to every one that something must be
done 10 check this increase or there Is no
knowing where it may end"
100 you think many people are afflicted
with il to-day who do not realize 1t, Mr..
Warmers"
Hundreds of Thousands. have a strik-
ing example of this truth which has just
come to nv notice. prominent Professor
in New Orleans Medical College was lectur-
ing 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 terri
bic malady were. In order to show the con
trast between healthy and unhe llthy fluids
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 unhealthy indications, / will show
you how it appears in state OF perfect
health and he submitted his own fluid "a
the usual test As he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his color
and command both left him, and in trem
bling voice he said: Gentlemen, i have
made a painful discovery; l have Bright's
disease of the kidneys, and in less than 9
year he was dead"
"You believe, then, that it has no symp
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even bv the person who is afflicted with it
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
indication of any kidney difficulty should bs
| enough TO strike terror TO any one. know
| what / am talking about for / have beer
| through all the stages of kidney disease"
]You know of DR. Henions casey"
@Yes, have both read and heard of it !"
at is very wonderful is IL not?"
"A very prominent case, but no more sC
| than great many others that have come Il
my notice as having been cured by the same
means"
you believe, then, that Bright's diseas,
| can be cured?'
II know it can. i know il from the ex
