An unusual article from the Rochester,
N. Y. Democrat anI Chronicle was pub.
,ished III this paper re:ently and has
been the subject of much conversation,
both iii professional circles and On the
street. Apparently it caused more com
motion in Rochester. as the following
from the same paper shows: T..
| Dr.J. B. Henion, who is we'll known
not only in Rochester, but in nearly every
part of America, sent an extended arti-
Gle to this paper, afew days since, which
was duly published, detailing his re-
markable experience and, rescue from
what seemed to be certain death, It
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 investigation of the sub ect
| was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative
of this paper called on DR.. Henion at his
residence, when the following interview
occurred:
tThat. article of yours, doctor, has Gre
ated quite whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued

Every one of them and many addi
tional ones. Few people ever getso near
the grave as I did and then return, and
am not surprised that the public think
it marvellous. 1t was marvellous"

clan, come to be brought so low?"

felt tired most of the time; could eat

think it meant anything s6tiotts:"
| 'But have these commoh ailments
anything to do with the fearful Bfight,s
disease which took so firm hold on yoti?"
"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 I am
sorry to say that too few physicians do
| either"
''That is strange statement, DOCTOR"
"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 haye been
clipping off the twigs when We shottld

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 other symptoms, but go d.
rectly to the kidneys, the source of most
of these ailments"
you said more than one. half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease,
is it doctor?"
"Precisely. Thousands of so.called
diseases are torturing people to-day,
when in reality it is Brights disease in
some one of its many forms. It is a
Hydra headed monster and the slight
est symptoms should strike terror to
every one who has them. I can look
back and recall hundreds of deaths
which physicians declared at the time
We're cattsed by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever
and OTHER co1fimon complaints which I
see now were caused by Bright's dis
ease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first?"
"Every one of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warner's Safe Cure.
am getting my eyes thoroughly open in
this matter and think am helping 9TH
ers 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 90 and see
Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as I 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, end see
DR.. baltimore the chemist, at the univer-
quantity Of them showing the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, it's 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 hiY establishment on Exc hange street.
At first Mr.. Warner was inclined to be
reticent, but learning that the informa.
ton desired was about the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke verv
earnestly:
ut is true that Brights disease has in
creased wonderfully. and we find, by re-
liable statistics that in the past ten years
it's growth has been $50 per cent. Look
at the prominent men it has carried off:
Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Car
penter, Bishops Haven and Peck, and
others. This is terrible, and shows u
greater growth than that of any other
known complaint. Itshould 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 reattiict-
ed with it to-day who do not realize It,
Mr.. Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. have a
striking example of this truth which has
just come to my notice. A prominent
professor in New Orleans medical col
lege was lecturing before his class on the
subject of Bright's disease. He had va
| rious fluids under microscopic analysis,
| and was showing the students 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, l will
| show you how it appears in state OF

re usual test. AS he watched
