4 Remarkable Statement Fully Con-
hrmsd by Three Important
Interviews.


An unusual article from the Rochester
IN. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle was pub
iished 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:
DR.. ]. 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 ,Smarkabls
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 az to
the validity OF the article, but they have
been so numerous that further investiga-
tion Of the subjectwas deemed an editorial
necessity.
With this end in view a representative of
this paper called on DR.. Henion at his
residence, wnen the following interview
occurred:
81 That article of yours, doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition You
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 surprised that the public think it mar.

full malady. The fact is, few people know
or realize what ais them, and am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either.n
THAT is strange statement, DOCTOR"
but it is true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in.

strike at the root. The symptoms / have

but try to help the lungs. We should not

other symptoms, but go directly TO the kid.
heys, 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 dis.
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one of
its many forms. 1t Is 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 declared at the
time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
and other common complaints which | see
now were caused by Bright's disease"
" And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at frst"
Every one of them, and might have
been cured as l 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 l 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 was sick the same as l, 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.. baltimore, the chemist, at
the University. If 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 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 his
establishment on 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 Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by relia-
BILE statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been $50 per cent. Look at the
prominent men 1t has carried off: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This is ter:
rible, and shows a greater growth than
that of any other known complaint. 1t
should be plain to every one that some
thing must be done to check this increase
or there is 10 knowing where it may end"
I" Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize 1t; Mr.,
