RE.INyESTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully Confirmci
by Three Important Interviews.

nsned IN this paper recently ana mas been the
sub ect of much oonN ersatcn both in pro-
fessional circles and on the street. Aprar-
emily it caused more commotion in Roches-
ter, as the following from the ZANE paper
shows
DIR. J. B. Henion, who is vel known not
only in Rochester, but in nearly every art
of America, sent an extended article to this
paper, few days since, which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed 10 be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enum crate
the personal INQUIRIES which have been made
Mt our oil ce to the validity of the article,
but they have been so merous that further
inves igation of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view n representa- We 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 wbirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in and
the way you we're rescued such as you can
sus' ain?"
every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get SO nelr the grave

prised that the public think it marvellous. 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, indef-
mite pans, and my stomach h 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 your
Anything? Why, they are the sure in1i-
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ais them, and am sorry to say
that too few physicians do either"
THAT is a strange statement, Doctor"
But IL Is true one. The medic Il pro
fess;on have be en- treating symptoms stead
of dseas ,s for We hrs, and it is high time it
ceased. We doctors have been clipping off
the twigs when we should strike at the root

unusual action or irritation of the water

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-
ieve the headache, stomach, pains about the
body or other symptoms, but go directly TO
the kidney, the sourc- of most of these all
ments."
This, then, is what you meant when you
said more than one-half tie 6eaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it
doctor?"
PIE ,isely. 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 Hydra-L ea1ed mon
s er and the slightest symptoms should strike
terror to every one who has them. l 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 COM
mon complaints which see now we're caused
by Bright's disease"
and did all these eases 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 l 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 go and
see Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as l, 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, and see DR.. baltimore,
the chemist, at the University. If you want
facts there are any quantity of them show
ing the alarming increase of Bright dis
ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms,
and there is but one way by which it can be
escaped"
Fully satisfied of the tru h and force of the
Doctors words, the reporter bade him good
day aud called on Mr.. Warner at his es;ab-
lishme mt on Exchange street. At first Mr..
Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learn
ing that the information desired was a out
the alarming increase of Bright disease, his
manner changed instantly, and he spoke very
earc estly:
1T is true that Bright's disease has in
crea ed 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, Bishop
Haven and Peck, and others. This is terri
BILE. and shows greater growth than that of
any other kno wn complaint. 1t should be
PLAN to every one that something must be
done to check this increas, or there is no
knowing where it may endn
" DO you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.
WarnerTn
"Hundr, DIS 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. BE had various fluids under micro
scopic analysis, and was showing the stu
dents what the indications of this terrible
Inalady 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 GU how it
appears in a state of perfect health, and he
submitted his own fluid to the usual test As
he watched the results his countenance sud
denly changed-his color and command both
left him, and in a trembling voice he said
Gentlemen, / have made a painful dis
covery; / have Bright's disease of the kid
neys.' and in less than a year he was dead. !"
You believe then, that it has no symp-
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with it,"
1T has no symptoms of its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people
have tn, same symptoms, and frequently
death is the first symptom. The slightest
indication of any kidney difficulty should be
enough to strike terror 10 any one. i know
what l am talking about for | have been
through all the stages of kidney disease"
"You know of DIR. Henion's case?'
"Yes, have both read and heard of it."
1T is very wonderful, is it not!"
A very prominent case, but no more 80
than great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cured by the same
mems"
"You believe, thsn, that Bright's disease
can be cured!"
81 know it can. i know it from the expe-
renee of hundl Is of prominent persons who
were given up 10 die by both their physicians
and friendsD
