EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
widespread COmmotiOn Caused by
THAT Remarkable Statement ola
Physician.

/ democrat, created a deal OF comment
here as it has elsewhere. Apparently it
caused even more commotion in Roches-
ter, 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, few days ago which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be impos-
sible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our Office as to
the Validity OF the article, but they have
| been so numerous that further iDvestiga-
| ton of the subject was deemed an edi-
torial necessity.
With this end in view representative
of this paper called on DIR. Henion at his
Eresidence on Andrews street, when the
Following interview occurred: "That
article of yours, Doctor, has created quite
"a whirlwind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such as you
kcan sustain ?"
Everyone of them and many addi-
tional ones. | was brought SO low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think | was sick.
| felt tired most of the time could eat moth
ing one day and was ravenous the next;
felt dull pains and my stomach was out
of order, but | did not think it meant
aanything serious. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. The symptoms have
ljjust mentioned or any unusual action or
| irritation of the water channels indicate
the approach of kidney disease more
than a. cough announces the coming of
consumption. We do not treat the cough,
but, try to help the lungs. We should not
waste our time trying to relieve the head
ache, pains about the body or other
symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys,
the source of most of these ailments"
This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Bright's
disease, is it Doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands of diseases
! are torturing people to-day, which in
reality are Bright's disease in some of its
manyiforms. 1t is a hydra headed mon
ster, and the slightest 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
see now were caused by Bright's dis
ease"
.s'And did all these cases have simple
symptonlssat.frst? ?" IL rf fh@
i every, one of them, and might have
been cured as was by. the timely use
of the same remedy. l am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this matter
and think Lam helping others tosee the
facts and their possible danger Also"
i Mr. Warmer was visited at his estab-
.lishment on North st. Paul street. AT
first he was inclined to be reticent, but
learning thatthe information desired was
about Bright's disease, his manner
'changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly:
cit is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find by
reliable statistics, that from 20 to 80 its
growth was over go per cent. Look at
the prominent men it has carried off:
Everett, Summer, Chase, Wilson, Car
penter, Bishop Haven, Folger, Colfax
and others. Nearly every week the pa
peers record the death of some promin-
ent man from this Scourge. Recently,
| however, the increase has been checked
| and attribute this to the general use of
| my remedy"
EDO you think many people are atflict-
ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
| Mr.. Warner ?"
ga prominent professor in a New Or
leans medical college was featuring be-
| fore his class on the subject of Bright's
disease. He had various fluids under
microscopic analysis, and was showing
the students what the indications of this
terrible malady were And now, gem
tlemen,' he said, AS we have seen the I'M
healthy 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 col
or and command both left him, and in a
trembling voice he said: Gentlemen,
have made painful discovery; have

in less than year he was dead. The
slightest indications of any kidney diff

to any one"

it."
cit is very wonderful, is it not?"
"No more so than great many others |
that have come to my notice as having
been cured by the same means"
"You believe then that 3right's dis
ease can be cured?''
81 know it can. / know it from my |
own and the experience of thousands of |
prominent persons who were given up to
die by both NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and friends"
"You speak of your own experience,
