RE-INvESTIGATED.
A REMARKABLE STATEMENT FULLY
CONFIRMED BY THREE INpoR-
rANr INTERVIEWS.

An unusual article from the Rochester,
y. Y, Democrat aud Chronicle was
published in this paper recently and has
been the subject Of much conversation
both in professional circles and on the
street. Apparently it caused more COM
motion in Rochester. as the following
from the same paper shows:
DIR. 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, a few days since, which
was duly published. detailing his remark
able experience and rescue from what
seemed to be certain death. 1t would be
impossible to enumerate the personal en-
quiries which have been made at our Of
fee as to the validity of the article, but
they have been so numerous that further
investigation Of the subject was deemed
an editorial necessity.
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 Gre
ated quite whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way YOU were rescued
such as you can sustain,
Every one Of them and many addi-
tional ones. Few people ever get so near
the grave as did and then return, and l
am not surprised that the public think
it marvellous. II was marvellous.
"How in the world did you, q physi-
clan. come to be brought so low ;"
by neglecting the first and most SIM
pie symptoms. | did not think / was
sick. 1t was true l had frequent head
aches 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 it meant any thing serious.
"But have these common ailments
anything to do with the fearful Bright's
disease which took so firm hold on
you"
"Auything' Why, they are the sure
indications of the first stages of that
dreadful malady. The fact is few people
know or realize what ails them, and |
am sorry to say that too few physicians
DO either"
That is a strange statement, doctor.
but j, is true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptoms
instead Of diseases for years, and it Is
high time it ceased. We doctors have
been clipping off the twigs when we
should strike at the root. The symp-
toms have Just mentioned or any unus-
ual action or irritation Of the water chan
nels indicates the approach OF Bnghts
disease even more than cough announc-
es the coming of consumption. We do
no, treat the cough, but try 10 help the
lungs. We should not waste our time
irving TO relieve the headache, stomach,
pains about the body or other symptoms,
but 90 directly to the kidneys, the source
of most of these ailments"
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 symp-
toms should strike terror TO every one
who has them. can look back and re-
call hundreds of deaths which physicians
declared at the time were caused by pa
ralysis, apoplexy, heart disease. Pneumo-
MIA. malarial fever and other common
complaints which l 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 l was by the timely use OF
the same remedy-Warners Safe Cure.
