With this end in view n representa-
tive of this paper called on DR.. Heuior
at his residence, when the following
interview occurred
"That article of yours doctor, ha;
created quite whirlwind. Are the
statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were res

"Every one of them and many addition

disease which took so firm hold OH

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"
THAT is a strange statement doc

profession have been treating symp

it is high time it ceased. We doctor.

This, then, is what you meant wher

"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. 1t is a

every 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, malarial fever and
other common complaints which see
now were caused by Bright's disease" "
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at fist? p"
"Every one of them, and might have

| 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 90 to
Mr.. Warner himself He was sick the
same as |, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made a
study of this subject and can give you
more facts than can. Go. too. and
see DIR. 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 bade
him good day and called on Mr.. War
ner at his establishment on Exchange
street. AT first Mr.. Warner was in.
clined 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:
sit is true that Bright's disease has
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that in the past ten
years ite growth has been 25O per cent
Look at the prominent men it has car

any other known complaint. 1t should b,
plain to every one that something mus
be done to check this increase or there
is no knowing where it may end"
