A Remarkable Statement fully Confirm cd
by Three Important Interviews.

An unusual article from the Rochester IN.
" Democrat and Chronicle was published
in this paper recently, and has been the sub
ject of much conversation both in profess
sional circles and on the street. Apparently
ii 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 days SINCE which was duly pub
hshed, detailing his remarkable experience
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 validity 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 a representative of
this paper called on DR.. HenIon at his resi-
dence, 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 ard
the way you were rescued such as you can
sustain?"
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
prlsed that the public think il 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. / did not think 1 was sick. 1t is
| true l bad frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time; could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next; felt dull, indefi-
Nit ofrg nd ofr, oh,
but did not think it meant anything seri-

But have these common ailments any
| thing to do with the fearful Brights disease
which took so firm hold on your
Anything? Why, they are the sure indi-
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malsdy. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ails them, and am sorry 10 say
that too few physicians do either"
This is strange statement Doctor
"Dut it is a true one. The medical profess
| sion have been treating symptoms instead of
diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased.
| We doctors have been clipping OFF the Iwigs
| when we should strike at the root The
| symptoms have just mentioned, any

nels, indicate the approach of BTight's dis

coming Of consumption. We do not treat

sGould DOT waste our time trying to relieve

/ or other symptoms, but 90 directly to the

| ments.'
/ This, then, ia what you meant when you
! ssid that more than one-halt the deaths
! which occur arise from Bsight's disease, is it.

Precisely. Thousands of so-cajled diseases
are tCTturing people 10 day, when In reality

the slightest symptoms should strike terror
10 every one who hes them. / can look back
! and recall hundreds of deaths which the
| physicians declared at the time we're caused
by paralysis aDoplexy, heart disease, pneu-
monis, malsral fever and other common
| complaints, which l see now were caused by
! Bnght's disease"
And did all these cases have simple symp-
| tC ms at frst?'
Every one of them, and might have been
| Gu ed, as ] was, by the timely use OF the same
! emedy-Warner's Safe Cure. | am getting
my eyes thoroughly open in this matter and
think am helping others 20 see the facts,
and their possible danger, also. Why, there
/ sre no end of truths bearing on this subject.
I III you want to know more about 1T, go and
see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as l. and is the healthiest man In Roch-
ester to-day. He has made q study of this
subject. and can give you more facts than |
can. Go, too, and see DIR. baltimore the
chemist at the University. If you want facts
there are any quantity of them showing tn
alarming incredse of Bright's disease, its sim
pie 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 babe him good
day, and called on Mr.. Warner, at bis eStab-
lisbment on Exchange street. AT first Mr..
Warner WIS inclined to be reticent, but
learning that the desired information was

ease, his manner changed instantly, and he
spoke very earnestly:
cit is true that Br1ghts disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its growth
has been 80 per cent Look a. the promI-
nent men it has carried off: Everett Sumner,
Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops Haven and
Peck and others. This is terrible, and shows
a greater growth than that of any other
known complaint. 1t should be plain to
every one that something must be done to
check this increase, or there is no knowing
where il may end"
DO you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. War
| ner?'
Hundreds Of thousands. / have striking
example Of this truth which hes just come to
my notice. A prominent Professor In New
Orleans Medical College wss lecturing before
his class en- the subject Of BDgnts disease.
n had various fluids under microscopic an
alysis, and was SNORING the students what

results his oouptenance suddenly changed
his color and command both left him, aud In
a trembling voice be said Gentlemen, have

year be wss 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,
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 snv kidney difficulty should
be enough to strike terror 10 any one. l
