BUTLER CITIZEN.
NSCEILANEOUS.
RE-INVESTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully
Confirmed by three Import
ant Interviews.

An unusual article from the ROches-
ter. n. Y, Democrat and Chronicle
was published in this paper recently
and has been the subject of much con-
versation both in professional circles
and on the street. Apparently it caus-
ed more commotion in Rochester, as
the following from the same paper
shows:
DIR. j. B. Henion, who is well known
not only in Rochester, but in nearly
eyery part of America, sent an extend
ed article to this paper, a few days
since, which was duly published, de-
failing his remarkable experience and
rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to
enumerate the personal enquiries which
have been made at our Office as to the
validity of the article. but they have
been so numerous that further investl-
CATION of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view q representa-
tive Of this paper called on DR.. Henlon
at his residence, when the following in
terview occurred:
"Tbat article of yours, doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. Are the
statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were
rescued such as you can sustain Z"

"How in the world did you, ply
sician, come to be brought SO low 7"
"By neglecting the first and most
simple symptoms. did not think |

headaches; felt tired most of the time !;
could eat nothing one day and was
ravenous the next felt dull, indefinite
pains, and my stomach was out of order,
but did not think it meant anything
serious"
"But have these common ailments
anything to do with the fearful Bright's
disease which took so firm a hold on
you ?"
Anything? Why, they are the
sure indications 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"

"But it is true one The medical
profession 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 the root. The symp-
toms 1 have just mentioned or any un-
usual action or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach of
Bright's disease even more than a
cough announces the coming of con-
sumption. We do not treat the cough,
but try to help the lungs. We should
not waste our time trying to relieve

body or other symptoms, but 60 direct

Precisely. Thousands of so-called
diseases are torturing people to-day,
when in reality it is Bright's disease

back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time
were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial
fever and other common complaints
which I sec now were caused by
Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple

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.. Lat

If you want facts there are any quantl-
ty of them showing the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease, its simple
and deceptive symptoms, and there is
but one way by which it can be es-
capped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force
of the Doctors words, the reporter
babe him good day and called on Mr.
Warner ct his establishment on Ex-
change street. AT first Mr. Warner
was inclined to be reticent, but learning
that the information desired was about
the alarming increase of Bright's dis
ease, his manner changed instantly and
he spoke very earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease has
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that in tie past ten
years its growth has been $50 per cent
Look at the prominent men it has car
ried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase,
Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops Haven and
Peck, and Others This is terrible, and
shows 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 it may end"
"Do you think many people are
afflicted with it to-day who do not real
ize it, Mr. Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. / have
