RE.INYESTIGATEn-
4 RemnrkabIe Statement Fully Confirmed
by Three Important Interviews,


IN. W Democrat and Chronicle was pub
lished in this paper recently and has been the
sub ect of much ConN ersatiCn both in pro-
fessional circles and on the street. Aprar-
emily it caused more commot.on in Roches-
ter, as the following from the same paper
shows
DIR. J. B. Henion, who is well known not
only in Rochester, but in nearly every art
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 10 be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to en- me rate
the personal ino uiries which have been made
Mt our oil ce to the validity of the article,
but they have been so nun erous that further
inves igation of the subject was deemed an
editorial ne ces sity.
With this end III view representa- We OF
this paper called on DIR. Henion at his resi-
dence, when the following interview OCCUR
red:
"That article OF yours, doctor, has crea-
ted quite wbirlwind. Are the statementS
about the terrible condition you we're in, and
the way you we're rescued such as you can
sus ain?"
"Every one Of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get 30 near the grave

prised that the public think it marvellous. II

"By ncg.ectng the first and most sim 10

most OF the time; could eat nothing one d y

nite palms. and my stomach was out of order,

But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took o firm Il hold on youP
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 strange statement doctor"
"But it is a tue one. The medic pro-
fess on have be en- treating symptoms instead
of diseas 3 for years, and it 10 high time it

nents."
This, then, is what You meant when you
aid more than one-half the deaths which
,ccur arise from Bright's disease, is it

"P ,isely. Thousands OF so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when III
eality it is Bright's disease in some one Of
rs many forms. It is Hydra-E eaded mon

which physicians declared at The time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disecse,

by Bright's disease"
"And did all these eases have simple

Every one of them, and might have been

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 60 and
see Mr.. Warner himself. He was 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, too, and see DIR. baltimore,
the chemist, at the University. If you want
facts there are any quantity of them show
ing the alarming increase Of Bright dis
ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms,
and there is but one way by which it can be
escaped"
Fully satisfied of the tru and force of the
Doctors words, the reporter bade him good
day aud called On Mr.. Warner at his estab-
lishm6nt on Exchange street. At first Mr..
Warner was inclined TO be reticent, but learn
ing that the information desired was about
the alarming increase of Brigh disease, his
rrlp Aa-
earnestly:
1T 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 $50 per cent. Look at the
prominent men it has carried off: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This is terri
BILE, and shows a greater growth than that OF
any other kno wn complaint. 1t should be
plain TO every one that something must be
done TO check this increase or there is no
knowing where it may end"
I" Do you think many people are afflicted
with 1t to-day who do not realize il, Mr..
Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. have a 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 on how it
appears In a state of perfect health, and he
submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As
he watched the results his countenance sud

left him, and in a trembling voice he said:
Gentlemen, / have made painful dis
covery; have Bright's disease of the kid

"You believe, then, that it has no symp-
toms of its own aud is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with 1T"
" 1t has no symptoms OF Its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently

indication of any kidney difficulty should be

It 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 been cured by the same

"You believe, then, that Bright's disease
can be cured?"
"I know it can. know it from the expe-
rience of humid els of prominent persons no

and friends"
