An unusual article from the Rochester, n. y,
Democrat aud Chronicle was published in this
paper recently and has been the subject of much
conversation both in professional circles and on
the street Apparently il caused more commo-
ton 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 published. detailing his re-
markable experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would lie impossible to
enumerate the personal enquiries which have been
made at our Office to the validity of the article,
but they have been so numerous that further in
vestigation of the subject was deemed an editor
ial necessity.
With this end in view 4 representative of this
paper called on Dr.. Henion at his residence, when
the following interview occurred:
/. That article of yours. doctor, has created
quite whrlwind. Are the statements about the
! terrible condition you were i and the way you
We're rescued such you can SuStan?'
Every one of them and many additional ones.

frequent headaches; felt tired most Of the time;
could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the

was out of order, but did not think it meant any
thing serious
But have these common aillnt nts anything to

Anything? Why they are the sure indications

fact is. few people know or realize what ailS them,
and am sorry to say that too few physicians do
either
THAT is strange statement Doctor"
But it is a true one. The medical profession

coming of consumption. We do not treat the
cough but try to help the lungs. We should not

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 Bright's disease, is it doctor:'
Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases

BrightS disease in some one OF its many forms.
1t is a Hydra-headed monster and the slightest
symptoms should strike terror to every one who
has them. can look back and recall hundreds of
deaths which physicians declare at the time were
caused by paralysis apOplexy heart disease, pneu-
mOnia, malarial fever and other common
paints which see now were caused by Bright,s
disease
And did all these cases have simply symptoms

Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the Doc
t1rS words, the reporter babe him good day and
c tlled on Mr.. Warner at lis establishment on Elk
change street. At first M Warner was inclined
t. be reticent. but learning that the information
desired was about the alarming increase of
| Blight disease his manner changed instantly
/ and he spoke very earnestly:
1t is true that Brights disease has increased
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 car
rled off; Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson Car
penter, Bishops Haven and Peck, and others.
This is terrible, and shows Il 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

DO you think many people are afflicted with it

Hundreds of thousands. have striking

The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed
with the earnestness and sincerity of his state
ments and next paid visit to DR.. S 4. baltimore,
at his residence on Prince street. Dr. baltimore,
although busily engaged upon some matters con
Eected with the State Board of Health, of which
he is of the analysts, courteOusly answered
the questions that were propOunded him:
Did YOU make chemical analysis of the case
