A Remarkable Statement Fully Con
firmed by Three Important
InteryIews.


frmed by Three Important
interviews.
An unusual article from the Rochester
IN. W Democrat and Chronicle was pub
lished in this paper recently and has been
the subject of much conversation both in
professional circles and on the street.
Apparently it caused more commotion in
Rochester,, as the following from the same
paper shows: uN
DIR. 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, a few days since, which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be impos.
sible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our office as to
the validity of the article, but they have
been so numerous that further investiga-
ton of the subjectwas deemed an editorial
necessity,
With this end in view representative of
this paper called on DR.. Henion at his
residence, when tho following interview
occurred: ..,.,
THAT article of yours, doctor, has
created quite whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued,
such as you can sustainW
every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people over got so near the
grave as did and then return, and / am
not surprised that the public think it mar
velous. 1t was marvellous" ..
"How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. did not think was sick. 1t
is true had frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time; could cat nothing one
day and was ravenous the next; felt dull,
indefinite pains, and my stomach was out
of order, but did not think 1T meant any
thing serious"
'.But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's
disease which took so firm a hold. on
you?"
"Anythingp 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 am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either"
"That is a strange statement, doctor"
"But it is a true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and it is high

other symptoms, but 60 directly to the kid

"This, then, is what you meant when

which occur arise from Bright's disease, is

"Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis.

reality it is Bright's disease in some one of

can look back and recall hundreds of
deaths which physicians declared at the
| time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,

and other common complaints which see

"And did all these cases have simple

Every one of them, and might have
been cured as | was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warner's Safe Cure. /
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. If you want to
know more about it go and see Mr.. Warner
himself. He YVES sick the same as |, and
is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day.
He has made study of this subject and
can give you more facts than l can. Go,
| LOO, anu SEQ III. Labtiniore, the cnemlSt, at
the University. IL you want facts there
are any quantity of them showing the
alarming increase of Bright's disease, its
simple and deceptive symptoms, and there
is but one way by which itcan be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of
the Doctors words, the reporter bade him
good day and called on Mr.. Warner at his
esta blishment OH Exchange street. At first
Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent,
but learning that the information desired
was about the alarming increase of Bright's
disease, his manner changed instantly and
he spoke very earnestly:
" 1t 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 250 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 greater growth than
that of any other known complaint II
should bc plain to every one that some.
| thing must be done to check this increase
or there is no knowing where it may end"
g Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize 1t, Mr..
WarnerW
Hundreds Of thousands. / have a strik
ing example of this truth which has just
come to my notice. A prominent professor
uring before his class on the subject OF
Bright's disease. He had various fluids
under microscopic analysis, and was show
ing the students what the indications OF
this terrible malady were. In order to
show the contrast between healthy and
unhealthy fluids, lie 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 in
dications, / will show you how it appears
in a state of perfect health and he sub
mitted his own fluid to the usual test. AS
he watched the results his countenance
suddenly changed-his color and com
mand both left him, and in trembling
voice he said; Gentlemen, have made a
painful discovery; l have Bright's disease
of the Kidneys and in less than year he
was dead"
"You believe, then, that It has no symp
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with itr
often none at all. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently
death is the first symptom. The slightest in
dication of any kidney difficulty should be
enough to strike terror to any one. know
