views.
An unusual article from the Rochester,
N. Y. Democrat and Chronicle was pub
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 we'll known
not only in Rochester, butin nearly every
part OF America, sent an extended arti-
Gle to this paper, afew days since, which
was duly published, detailing his re.
markable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. 1t
would be impossible to enumerate the
personal enquiries which have been
made at our Office al to the validity ofthe
article. but they have been so numerous
that further investigation of the subject
was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative
residence, when the following interview
occurred:
Chat article of yours, doctor, has cre-
ated quite a whirlwind. Are the state
ments about the terrible condition you
were in, and the way you were rescued

every one of them and many addi
tional ones. Few people ever getso near

it marvellous. 1t was marvellous"

clan, come to be brought so low?"

sick. 1t is true Ihad frequent headaches;
felt tired most of the time; could eat
next; felt dull, indefinite pains, and my
stomach was out of order, but l did not
think it meant anything serious"
"But haye these common ailments
anything to do with the fearful Bright's
disease which took so firm a hold ON you?"
Anything? Why, they are the sure
indications of the first stages of that
dreadful malady. The fact is, few people
know.o realize what ails them, and lam
sorryto say that too few physicians do
either"
That is strange statement, DOCTOR"
"But it is a true one. The medical
profession have been treating symptoms
instead ofdiseases for years, and it is high

This, then, is what you meant when
you said more than one.half the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease.

"Precisely. Thousands of so .called
when in reality it is Bright's disease in
some one of its many forms. It is a
Hydra headed monster and the slight
est 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, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever
and other common complaints which |
see now were caused by Bright's dis
ease."
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at frst2"

been cured as was by the timely use of

/ am getting my eyes thoroughly open in
ers to see the facts and their possible
danger also. Why, there are no end of
truths bearing on this subject. If you
want to know more about it go and see
Mr.. Warner himself. lie was sick the
same as l and is the healthiest man
in Rochester to-day. He has made q
study of this subject and can give YOU
more facts than | can. 60, too, and see
DR.. baltimore the chemist, at the univer-
sity. If you want facts there are any
quantity of them showing the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, it's Simple
and deceptive symptoms, and there is
but one.way by which it can be escaped

OF the Doctors words, the reporter babe
him good day and called on Mr.. Warner
at hiD establishment on Exchange street,
At first MI. Warner was inclined to be
retlcent, but learning that the informa-
ton desired was about the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very
"It 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 q
greater growth than that of any other
known complaint. Itshould be plain to
every n that something must be done
to check this increase or there is no
knowing where it may end"
"Do you think many people are athict-
ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
MI. Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. l have q
striking example of this truth which has
just come to my notice. A prominent
professor in a 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 We're.
In order to show the contrast between
healthy and unhealthy fluids, he had
provided a vial, the contents of which

perfect health,' andhe submitted his own
fluid to the usual test. AS he watched
the results his countenance suddenly

the kidneys,' and in less than a year he
