RE-INVES TIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully Confirmed by
Three Important Interviews

much conversation both in professional circles
and on the street. Apparently it caused more
connection in Rochester, as the following from

! DIR. j. B. Heniou. who is well known not only
in Rochester, but in nearly every part Of Ameri-
| ca sent an extended 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
| inquiries which have been made at our office
as to the validity of the article, but they have
! been so numerous that further investigation of

| sity.
| With this end in view O. representative Of

residence, when the following interview &C.

"ThIs, then, is what you meant when you

Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the
Doctors words. the reporter babe him good day

instantly and be spoke very earnestly:
'Itis true that Brght's disease hasincTeased

$50 per cent. Look at the prominent men it

| others. This is terrible, and shows a greater
growth than that of any other known COM
plant. 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 realize it, Mr.. War

g Hundreds of thousand. I have striking
example of this truth which has Just come to
| my notice. prominent professor N a New
Orleans medical college was lectuIing before
his class on the subject of Brlght'S disease.
He had various fluids under microscopic analy-
Sis and was shO wing the students what the in
dic8tIons of this terrible malady were. In o.
der 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, I will
show you how 1t appears in state of perfect
| health and he submitted his own fluid to the
usual test. AS he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his color and
| command both left him, and in a trembling
voice he said: Gentlemen, I have made a
painful discovery; l have Bright'S disease of
the Kidneys and in less than year he was
dead"
"You believe, then, that it has no symp-
toms Of it's own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with it?"
sit has no symptoms OF its own and very
often none at all. Usually no wopeople have
the same symptoms, and frequently death is
the first symptom. The slightest indication of
any kidney difficulty should be enough TO

be cured?"

perience of hundredsi of prominent persons
who were given up to die by both their physi-
clans and friends"
