been the subject Of much conversation
both in professional circles and on the
street. Apparently it caused more commo-
ton IN Rochester, as the following from
the same paper shows:
Dr.. ]. b. Henion, who Is 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. 1t would be impossible
10 enumerate the personal enquiries which
have been made at our office as to the va
lidity Of the article, but they have been 30
numerous that further investigation OF the
subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
| With this end In view q representative Of
idence, when the following interview oc-
Cured:
''That article of yours, doctor, has
created quite whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued
such rs you can sustain?'
''Every one of them and many addition
al ones. Few people ever get SO near the
grave as did and then return, and l am
not surprised that the public think it mar
velous. Ii was marvellous"
"How in the world did you, a physician,
come to be brought so low2"
''By neglecting the first and most SIM
pie symptoms. i did no: think was sick.
1t Is true l 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 30 firm hold on you2"
Anything? Why, they are the sure In
dications OF the first stages Of that dread
ful maiady. The fact is, few people know
or realize what ais them, and l am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either. !"
THAT is strange statement, doctor"
"But it is a true one. The medical pro-
fesslon have been treating symptoms in
stead Of diseases for years, and 1t is high
time it ceased. We doctors have been
clipping off the twigs when We should
strike at the root. The symptoms I have
just mentioned or any unusual action or
irritation of the water channels indicate the
approach of Bright's disease even more
than 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 60 directly to the
kidneys, the source Of most of these all
ments."
This, then, is what you mean when
you said more than one-half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease, Is
1t doctori.'
"PreciseIy. 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.
l can look back and recall hundreds of
deaths which physicians declared at the
time were caused by paralysis. spoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarlal fever
and other complaints which see now were
caused by Bught's disease"
'And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at firstl"
EVERY one of them, and might have
been cured as | was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warneris Safe Cure. l
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. II you want to
know more about it go and see Mr.. War
ner himself. He was sick the same as l,
and is the healthlest man 10 Rochester to-
day. he has made a study of this sub
iect, and can give you more facts than l
can. Go, too, and see DR.. Lattlmore, the
chemist, al the University. II you want
facts there are any quantity of them show
Ing the alarming increase of Br,ght's dis
ease, Its simple and deceptive symptoms,
and there Is but one way by which it can
be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and the force
Of the Doctors words, the reporter bade
him good day and called on Mr. Warner
at his establishment, on Exchange street.
At first MIR. Warner was inclined to be re-
ticent, but learning that the information
desired was about the alarming increase of
Brights disease, his manner changed In
stantly and he spoke very earnestly:
sit is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by re-
liable statistics, that in the past ten years
its growth has been 250 per cent. Look
at the prominent men 1t has carried off:
Everett, Sumner. Chase, Wilson, Carpen.
ter, Bishops Haven and Peck, aud others
This Is terrible, and shows greater
growth than that of any other known COM
plaint. 1t should be plain to every one
that something must be done to check this
increase or there is no knowing where II
may end"
do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize 1t, MIR.
Warner?''
Hundreds of thousands. | have a
striking example of this truth which has
Just come to my notice. A prominent pro-
lessor in New orleans medical college
was lecturing before his class on the sub
ject OF Brrght's disease. He had various
fluids under microscopic analysis. and was
showing the students what the indications
of this terrible malady were. In order to
show the contrast between healthy and un-
healthy 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 in
dications, l will show you how it appears
In state OF perfect health, and he sub
nItted his own fluid to the usual test. As
he watched the results his countenance
suddenly changed-his color and command
both lert him, and in trembling voice he
said: Gentlemen, l have made a painful
discovery; have Bright's disease of the
kIdneys,' and In less tnan 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 afll .cted with
It7"
sit has no symptoms of its own aud very
often none at all. Usually nc two people
have the same symptoms. and frequently
death Is the first symptom. The slightest
indication of any kidney dill :ulty should
be enough to strike terror to any one. l
know Whist am talking about. for have
been through all stages of kidney disease"
