RE-INvESTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully Con-
frmed by Three Important Inter-
rIayxa.


this paper recently and has been tho subject
of much conversation, both In professional
circles and on the street, Apparently 1t
| caused more commotion in Rochester, as the
| following from the same paper shows:
Dr.. j. 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 res.
| cue from what seemed to be certain death. 1t
would be impossible to enumerate the perso-
nal inquiries which have been made at our
office as to tho validity Of the article, but they
nave been 80 humorous that further investl-
| CATION OF the subject was deemed an editorial
necessity.
-. With this end in view q representative OF
| this paper called on DR.. Henion at his rcsi-
dence, whom the following interview occurred !:
"That article OF you're, doctor, has created
quite whlrlwind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you were In, and the

every ono of them and many additional
ones Few people ever get so near the grave
as did and then return, and 1 am not sur
prised that the public think 1t marvellous. It
was marvellous
"How in the world did you, q physician,
come TO be brought so low?"
'By neglecting the fret and most simple
symptoms. did not think was Sick Ii 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 l did
not think 1t meant anything serious"
"But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took so firm hold on your"
Anything? Why, they are the sure indica-
lions 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 1t Is true one. The medical profes.
sion have been treating symptoms instead of
diseases for years, and 1t Is high time 1t
ceased. We doctors have been clipping on tho
twlgs when we should strike at the root. The
symptoms have Just mentioned or any un-
usual action or Irritation of the water chan
nels indicate the approach of Brights disease
even more than a cough announces the com
cough, but try TO help the lungs. We should
not waste our time trying to relieve the hoad-
symptoms, but 60 directly to the kidneys, the
source Of much OF these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant when you
cur arise from Brights disease, Is 1t doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands OF so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when In
many forms. 1t is hydra-headed monster
and the slightest symptoms should strike ter
ror 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 heart disease, pneu-
monia, malariel fever and other common COM
plants which l see now were caused by
Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp.
"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 fairly 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. If you want
10 know more about II go and see Mr.. Warner
himself. He was sick the same as /, and is
the healthiest man In Rochester to-day. He
has made study OF this subject and can give
Dr.. baltimore. the chemist, at the university.
II you want facts there are any quantity Of
them showing the alarming increase of
Brights disease, Its simple and deceptive
symptoms, and there Is but one way by which
II can be escaped.
Fully satisfied of the truth and force OF the
Doctors words, the reporter bid him good
day and called on Mr.. Warner at his estab-
lishment on Exchange street. At first Mr..
Warner was inclined 10 be reticent, but learn
ing that the Information desired was about
the alarming increase of Brtghts disease,
his manner hanged instantly and he spoke
''ft is true that Brighrs disease has In
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that In the past ten years Its growth
men IL has carried of: Everett, Sumner.
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 ons
that something must be done to check this
increase or there is no knowinglwhere 1t may
end"
"Do you think many people are afIlicted
with s It to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. War
'Hundreds OF thousands. have o striking
example of this truth which has Just come to
my notice. A prominent professor In a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing before
his class on the subject of Brights 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 unhealthy fluids, he had provided a vial,
The contents OF which were drawn from his

Will show you how 1t appears In q state OF per-
feet health and he submitted his own fluid to
the usual test. AS he watched the results his

command both left him, and In a trembling
voice he said Gentlemen, / have made a
painful discovery; have BrIght's disease OF

the person who is afllicted with 1t J."
.It has no symptoms OF Its own and very
often none at all. Usually no two people have
the same symptoms, and frequently death is
the first symptom. Tho slightest indication
OF any kidney difficulty should be enough to
talking about, for have been through all the
stages OF kidney disease"
"You know Of DR.. Henion's case ?"
'Yee, / have both read and heard of It,"
sit Is very wonderful, Is 1t not 2"
"a very prominent case, but no more so than
great many others that have come to my no.
tice as having been cured by the same MEANS"
"You believe, then, that Brights disease can
be cured?"
II know 1t can. know It from the expert
ence OF hundreds OF prominent persons who
were given up to die by both their physicians

"No; II caused me to investigate. went to

mined, as duty I owed humanity and the

sold In every drug store, and has become q

| The reporter left Mr.. Warner, much I'm.
| pressed with the earnestness and sincerity of
| his statements, and next paid visit TO Dr. s.
A. baltimore at his residence on Prince street.
DR.. baltimore, although busily engaged upon
some matters connected with the State Board
| OF Health, OF which he is one Of the analysts,
| courteously answered the questions that were
| propounded to him;
| "Did you make chemical analysis of tho
| case OF Mr.. II. ii. Warner some three years
ago, Doctor?"
| "Yes sir"
,'what did this analysis show your ?"
| "The presence of albumen and tute casts IN
| great abundance"

"a serious disease OF the kidneys"
