Intsrvisws.
An unusual article from the RochesssS
IN. W Democrat and Chronicle was pub.
lishsd In this paper recently and has been
the subject Of much conversation both in
professional circles and ON the street.
Apparently it caused more commotion in
Rochester, as the following from the same
paper shows:
DR.. J. B. Henion. who II well 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
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. It would be impos-
sible 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 investiga-
ton of the subjectwss deemed an editorial
necessity.
With this end In view Q representative Of
this paper called ON DIR. Henion at his
residence, when the following interview
occurred:
THAT article of yours, doctor, has
created quite q whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued,
such as you can sustain"

"Anythings Why, they are the sure in

or realize what ais them, and l am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either"
"That is a strange statement, DOCTOR"
"But it is q true one. The medical pro-

''This. then, is what you meant when
you said more than one-half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease, il
il, 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 a Hydra headed

strike terror to every one who has them. /
can look back and recall hundreds of
deaths which physicians declared at the
time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
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 tirst?
" Every one of them, and might have

He has made a study of this subject and

too, and see DR.. baltimore, the chemist, at
the University. II you want facts there

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 babe him
good day and called on Mr.. Warner at his
on Exchange street. at first
Mr.. Warner was inclined to be reticent,
but learning that the information desired
was about the alarming increase of Bright's
disease, his manner changed instantly and
ne smoke very earnestly:
1t Is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by relia-
BILE statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been go per cent. Look at the
prominent men it has carried off: Everett,
Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This is ter
rible, and shows q greater growth than
hat of any other known complaint. 1t
hing 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..
Warners"
Hundreds Of thousands. have strik-
ng example of this truth which has Just
,orae to my notice. A prominent professor
IN New Orleans medical college was lect-
Iring before his class on the subject Of
Bright's disease. He had various fluids
lnder microscopic analysis, and was show
ng the students what the indications of
his terrible malady were. In order to
show the contrast between healthy and
fluids, he had provided a vial,
he contents of which were drawn from
lis own person. And now, gentlemen
le said, as we have seen the unhealthy in
locations, will show you how it appears
n a state of perfect health and he sub
nitted his own fluid to the usual test. As
he watched the results his countenance

You know of DIR. Henion's case?"
"Yes, have both read and heard Of it."
1T is very wonderful, is it not!"
