IN. ~ Democrat and Chronicle was pub.
ished in this paper recently and has boen the
subject Of much conversation both in pro
fessional circles and on the street. Appar
emily it caused more commotion in Roches.
ter, as the following from the same paper
shows:
DR.. j. B. Henion, who is we'll known moi
only in Rochester, but in nearly every rar'
of America, sent an extended article to this
paper, a few days since, which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable e1perlenc;
and rescue frora what seemed to be certain
death. It would be impossible to enumerate
the personal inquiries which have been made
at our Office az to the validity of the article
but they have been 80 numerous that further
investigation Of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative OF
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 we're 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 I am not sur.
prised ihat the public think it marvellous. It
was marvellous"
: Chow in the world did you, physic an,
come to be brought so low!"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. I did not think was sick 1t
is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time; could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next: felt dull, indefi-
mite pains, and my stomach Was out of order,
but did not think it meant anything Sc
rious."
: "But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so 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 strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is true one. The medic II pro-
fession have been treating symptoms instead
of diseases for years, and it is high time it
ceased. We doctors have been clipping off
the twigs when we should strike at tho root.
The symptoms have just mentioned or any
unusual action or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach OF Bright's
disease even more than cough announces
the coming of consumption. we do not
treat the cough, but try to help the lungs.
We should not waste our time trying to re-
lieve the headache, stomach, pains about the
body or ether symptoms, but 60 directly to
the kidneys, the source of most of these all
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?"
"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 q Hydra-headed mon
ser and the slightest symptoms should strike
terror to overy one who has them. can
look back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarinl fever and other COM
mon complaints which see now were caused
by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms Of frst2'
"Every one of them, and might have been
cured as I was by the timely use of the same
remedy-Warner' 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 60 and
see Mr.. Warner himself. he was sick the
same Us I, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made study of
this subject and can give you more facts
than I can. Go, too, and see DR.. baltimore,
the chemist, at the University. If you want
facts there are any quantity Of them show
ease, 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 bade him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his estab-
lishment 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 Bright's disease, his
manner changed instantly, and he spoke very
earnestly:
"It 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 greater growth than that of
any other kno wn complaint. It should be
plain to every one that something must be
knowing where it may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, MIR.
Warner2"
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
scopio 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 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 II

"You believe, then, that it has no symp-

often none at all. Usually no two people

indication of any kidney difficulty should be

"You know of DR.. Henion's case"

"It is very wonderful, is it not:"
"A very prominent case, but no more SO
than great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cured by the same

The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much i'm
pressed with the earnestness and sincerity
of his statements, and next paid q visit to
DR.. S. A. baltimore, at his residence or
Prince street. DR.. baltimore, although
busily engaged upon some matters con
