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

to TINS paper, a few DAYS since, which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable

SO numerous that further Investigation OF
the subject was deemed an editorial neoes-

With this end in view a representative
of this paper called on Dr.. Heninn at his
residence, when the following interview
occurred

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 fycu want to know more
about it 60 and see Mr.. Warner himself
He was sick the same as I. and is the
healthIest man in Rochester to day. He

one way by which il can be escared".
Fully satisfied Of the truth and force of
the Doctors words, the reporter babe him
good day and callsd on Mr.. Warner ut his
establishment on exchange street. At first
Mr.. Warner was inclined to lie ret,cent, but
learning that the information desired was
about the alarming increase of Bright's
disease, his manner changed instantly and
he spoke very earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease has in.
creased wonderfully, and we find, by relia-
BILE statistics, that in the past ten years IT'S
growth has been $50 per cent. Look at
the prominent men it has carried off:
Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter,
Bishops Haven and Peck, and others.
This is terrible, and shows greater growth
than that of other known complaint.
1t should be plain To every one that some
thing must be done to check this increase
or there j. no knowing where il may end"
"Do You think many people are afflicted
with ii o'day who do not realize it, Mr..
WarnCr?"
Hundreds Of thousands. | have q
striking example of this truth which has
just come To my notice. A prominent pro
lessor in New Orleans medical college
was lecnring before his class on the sub
iect Of Bright'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 a vial, the
| contents Of which were drawn from his own
person. And now, gentlemen he said,
as we haye seen the unhealthy indications,
[ will show You how II appears in a state
Of perfect health and he submitted his
own fluid to the usual test As he watched
the results his cnun'enance suddenly
changed-his collar and command both left
! him, and in a trembling voice he said :
