RE.INVESTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully COnarI
 bY Three ImnNrtant InterYieMa.

(N. Y) Democrat and Chronicle was pub ished in this paper recently and has been the subject of much Cony ersatiun both in pro- fessional circles and on the street. Appar- ently it caused more commotion in Roches- ter, as the following from the same paper shows
 Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester, but in nearly every rart of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days since, which was duly pub lished, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inc uiries which have been made at our office to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further inves igation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
 With this end in view representa- ve ot this paper called on Dr. Henion at his resi- dence, when the following interview occur red:
 "That article of yours, doctor, has crea- ted quite whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as you can sus! ain?"
 "Every one of them and many additional ones. Few people ever get so near the grave as did and then return, and I am not sur prised that the public think it marvellous. It was marvellous
 come to be brought SO lowt"
 "By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. did not think was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next: felt dull, indef- mite pains, and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything se- rious."
 But have these common ailments any thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease which took % 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 ails them, and am sorry to say that too few physicians do either"
 "That is a strange statement, doctor"
 But it is true one. The medicll pro- fession have been treating symptoms instead of dseas s for ye ITS, and 1t 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 cham als indicate ths, approach of Bright's d sease even more than cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the co Igh, bat try to help the lungs. We should not waste our time trying to re- ieve the headache, stomach, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ail ments."
 "This, then, is what you meant when you said more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it doctor?"
 "Pl ,isely. Thousands of so-called dis eases are torturing people to-day, when in reality it is Bright's. disease in some one of its many forms. It is a Hydra-t eaded mon- terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumor ia, malarial fever and other con- mon complaints which l see now were caused R,i,r f1c
 "And did all these eases have simple symptoms at first ["
 "Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy-Warner's Safe Cure. I 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 MT. Warner himself. He was 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. Lattimore, the chemist at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them show ing the alarming increase of Bright's dis ease, it's simple and deceptive symptoms, and there is but one way by which it can be escaped"
 Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the Doctors words, the reporter bade him good day aud called on MT. Warner at his estab- lishmo mt on Exchange street. At first MT. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learn ing that the information desired was about the alarming increase of Bright disease, his manner changed instantly, and he spoke very earnestly:
 Ut is true that Bright's disease has in- creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable 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, Bishop; Haven and Peck, and others. This is terri. any other kno wn complaint. It should be plain to every one that something must bt done to check this increase or there is nc
 knowing where it may end."
 "Do you think many people are afflicted
 with it to-day who do not realize it, Mir
 Warner?'
 Hundreds of thousands. have strik
 ing example of this truth which has just
 come to my notice. A prominent professor
 in New Orleans medical college was lectur.
 ing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He had various fluids under micro scopic analysis, and was showing the stu dents what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to show the contrast between healthy and unhealthy 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 1t appears in state of perfect health, and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance sud denly changed-his color and command both left him, and in trembling voice he said: Gentlemen, I have made a painful dis covery; have Bright's disease of the kid neys,' and in 'ess 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 it!' "It has no symptoms of its own and very often none at all. Usually no two people | have th3 same symptoms, and frequently death IS the first, symptom: The slightest indication of any kidney difficulty should be enough to striks terror 10 any one. know what l am talking about, for 1 have been | through all the stages of kidney disease" "You know of Dr. Henion's case?" "Yes, have both read and heard of it.. ct is very wonderful, is it not!' "A very prominent case, but no more so | than a great many others that have come to my notice as having be en cured by the same | melns."
 "You believe, then, that Bright's disease can be cured!"
 "I know it can. I know it from the expe- renee of fhundl Is of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians | and friends"
 "You speak of your own experience, what was it?''
 "Afearful one. Ihad feltlanguid and un- l fitted for business for yea s. But did not know what ailed me. When, however, l found it was kidney difficulty, l thought | there was little hol @, anu so did the doctors. 1 have since leaned tn tt one of the physi- clans of this city point d me out to gentle man on the street one day, saying, there | goes man who ill be dead within year. | believe his words would have proven true if had not fortunately secured and used the rem 1 edy no known as Warner Safe Cure.' "And thls cause you to manufacture it?'' "No it caused me to investigate. went | 10 the principal cities, saw physicians pre-
