RE-INVESTIGATED.
A Remarkable Statement Fully Con-
firmed by Three Important Inter-
views.

lished 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:
Ord. B. Henion, who Is well known
not only in Rochester, but in nearly every
part of America, sent an extended arti-
Gle to this paper, q few days since, which
was duly published, detailing his re-
markabl6 experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. It
would be impossible to enumerate the
personal enquiries which have been
article: but they have been 80 numerous
that further investigation of the subject
was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view a 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 a whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued
su b as you can sustain?"
Every one of them and many addi
tional ones. Few people ever get 80 near
the grave as did and then return, and
am not surprised that the public think
it marvellous. 1t was marvellous"
"How in the world did you, physi-
clan, come to be brought 80 low?"

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 dub, indefinite pains, and my
stomach was out of order, but did not
think it 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
| 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 it Is a 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

strike at the root. The symptoms have

rectly to the kidneys, the source of most
| of these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant when

which occur arise from Brights disease,
is it doctor?"
"Precisely. Thousands of so-called
diseases 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 slight
est symptoms should 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,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever
and other common complaints which I
see now were caused by Bright's dis
ease."
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at frst?"
every one of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use of
the same remedy-Warner's Safe Cure.
I am getting my eyes thoroughly open in
this matter and think l am helping 9TH
ers to see the facts and their possible
danger also. Why, there are no end of
truths bearing on this subject. Ifyou
want to know more about it go and see
Mr.. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as I and is the healthiest man
in Rochester to-day. He has made a
study of this subject and can give you
more facts than | can. Go, too, and see
sity. If 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 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 establishment on Exchange street.
At first Mr.. Warner was inclined to be
reticent, but learning that the informa-
ton desired was about the alarming in
crease of Brights disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke verv
earnestly:
at 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 $50 per cent. Look
at the prominent men it has carried off:
Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Car
penter, Bishops Haven and Peck, and
others. This is terrible, and shows
greater growth than that of any other
known complaint. Itshould be plain to
every one that something must be done
to check this increase or there is no
knowing where it may end"

ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
Mr.. Warner2"
Hundreds of thousands. l have a
striking example of this truth which has
just come to my notice. 4 prominent
professor in New Orleans medical col
lege was lecturing before his class on the
subject of Bright's disease. He had va
rious 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 vial, the contents of which
were drawn from his own person. And
now, gentlemen he said, as we have
seen the unhealthy indications, will
show you how it appears in state OF
perfect health and he submitted his own
fluid to the usual test. AS he watched
the results his countenance suddenly
changed-his color and command both
left him, and in trembling voice he
said: Gentlemen, have made pain
full discovery; I have Brights disease of
the kidneys, and in less than year he
was dead"
"You believe, then, that it has no
symptoms of its own and is frequently
unknown even by the person who is af-
flicted with it?"
sIt 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.
The slightest indication of any kidney
difficulty should be enough to strike ter
ror to any one. know what am talk
ing about, for have been through all
the stages of kidney disease"

it."
cit is very wonderful, is it notY'
"a very prominent case but no more
so than great many others that have
come to my notice as having been cured
