RE-INVESTIGATBD.
a Remarkable Statement Fully Confirms d
by Tire e Important Interviews.

lished in this paper recently and has been
the subject of much conversation both in
professional circles and on the street. APP.
parentlY it caused more commotion in
! Rochester, as the following from the same
paper shows:
| DR.. j. B. Henion, who is we'll known not
only in Rochester, but in nearly every part
of America, sent an extended article to this
| paper, few days since, which was duly
published, detailing his remarkable expert.
ence and rescue from what seemed to be
certain death. It 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
the subject was deemed an editorial neces-
sity.
| With this end in view representative
of this paper called on DR.. Henion at his
residence, when the following interview
occurred:
''That article of yours, doctor. has Great
ed quite whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in,
and the way you were rescued such as you
can sustain?"
| Every one of them and many addition
|
grave as did and then return, and l am
not surprised that the public think it
marvellous. It was marvellous"
| How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low
"By negleoting the first and most sim
pie symptoms. I did not think 1 was sick,
1t is true had frequent 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 any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's dis
ease which took so firm hold on you?"
Anything? Why, they are the sure in
dications of the first stages of that dread
full malady. The fact is, few people know
or realize what ais them, and 1 am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either"
THAT is a strange statement, doctor"
'But it is a true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been clip
ping OFF the twigs when We should strike
at the root. The symptoms 1 have just
mentioned or any unusual action or irrita-
| ton of the water channels indicate the
approach of Bright's disease even more
than q cough announces the coming of
| consumption. We do not treat the cough,
but try to help the lungs. We should not
| waste our time trying to relieve the head
| ache, stomach, pains about the body or
other symptoms, but go directly to the
| kidneys, the source of most of these all
ments."
"This, then, is what you meant when
you said more than one-half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease,
| is it doctor?.'
Precisely. 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 headed
monster and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them.
1 can look back and recall hundreds of
| deaths which physicians declared at the
time we're caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever
and other common complaints which 1 see
| now were caused by Bright's disease"
'And did all these cases have simple
| symptoms at first"
"Every one of them, and might have
been cured as 1 was by the timely use of
| the same remedy-Warner's Safe Cure. [
am getting my eyes thoroughly open in
this matter and think I 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.. War
ner himself. He was sick the same as l,
and is the healthiest man in Rochester
to-day. He has made a study of this sub
| ject and can give you more facts than 1
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's
| disease, its simple and deceptive symp-
toms, and there is but one way by which it
can be esca ped"
| Fully satisfied of the truth and force of
the doctors words, the reporter bade
him good day and called on Mr.. Warner
at his establishment on Exchange street.
At first Mr.. Warner was inclined to be ret
icent, bat learning that the information
desired was about the alarming increase
| of Bright's disease, his manner changed in
! stantly and ne spoke very earnestly:
sit is true that Dright's disease has in
! crecssd wonderfully, and we find, by reli-
| ale statistics, that in the past ten years
| its growth has been 80 per cent. Look at
| the prominent mon it has carried off: Ev-
| erett, Summer, 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 some
thing must be done to check this increase,
Or there is no knowing where it may end L.
DO you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr..
Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. have strik-
ing example Of this truth which has just
| come to my notice. A prominent profess
sor in New Orleans medical college was
lecturing before his class on the
subject of Bright's disease. He
had various liquids under
microscopic analysis, and was showing the
students what the indications of this ter
rible 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, will show
you how it appears in state of perfect
health and he submitted his own fluid to
the usual test. As he watched the result
his ceuntenance suddenly changed-his
color and command both left him, and in
