Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1885-02-13
EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
Widespread Commotion Caused by
that Remarkable Statement of q
Physician.

Democrat, created deal of comment
here as it has elsewhere. Apparently
1t caused even more commotisn In
Rochester, as the following from the
same paper shews:
DR.. j. ii. 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 impossible 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 Investigation of
the subject was deemed an editorial
necessity.
With this end in view a representa-
tive of this paper called on DR.. Henion
at his residence 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 can sustain?"
every one of them and many ad-
ditional ones. 7 was brought so low
by neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. did not think I was sick.
1t IS true I had frequent headaches; felt
tired most of the time; could eat moth
ing one day and was ravenous the next;
felt dull pains and nay stomach was out
of order, but / did not think it meant
anything serious. The medical profess
sion have been treating symptoms in
stead OF diseases for years, and it is
high time it ceased. The symptoms /

more than a cough announces the COM
ing of consumption. We do not treat
the cough, but try to help the lungs.
We should not waste our time trying to
relieve the headache, 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
disease, is it Doctor?
Precisely. Thousands of diseases
are torturing people to-day, which in
reality are Bright's disease in some of
its many forms. 1t is . hydra headed
monster, 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, pncu-
monia, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints which I 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

eyes thoroughly opened in this matter
and think am helping others to see the
facts and their possible danger also"
Mr.. Warner was visited at his estab-
lishment ON North st. Paul street. At
first he was inclined to be reticent, but
learning that the information desir-
ed was about Bright's disease. his man
ner changed instantly and he spoke
very earnestly:
ct is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find,
by reliable statistics, that from 20
to 80, its growth was over $50 per cent.
Look at the prominent men it has car
red off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Will
son, Carpenter, Bishop, Haven, Folger,
Colfax and others. Nearly every week
the papers record the death of some
prominent man from this scourge.
Recently, however, the increase has
been checked and attribute this to the
general use of my remedy"
"Do you think many people are afflict-
ed with it to-day who do not realize it,
Mr.. Warner?"
"a prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturiHg
s1efore his class on the subject of Bright's
discae. He had various fluids under
microscopic analysis and was showing
the students what the indications of
This terrible malady were. 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 countenaAce suddenly chang
ed--his color and command both left
him and In trembling voice he said:
Gentlemen. I have made painful dis
covery; l have Bright's disease of the
Kidneys and In less than year he was
dead. The slightest Indication of any
kidney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one"
''You know of DR.. Henion's case?"
Yes, l have both read and heard
Of it."
ct is very wonderful, is it not?"
mo more SO than great many
Others that have come to my notice
IS having been cured by the same
means"
You believe then that Bright's
disease can be cured"
Il know it can. know it from
my own and the experience of thous-
ands of prominent persons who were
given up to die by both their physicians
and friends"
you speak of your own experience,
what was it?"
"A fearful one. I had felt languid
and untitled for business for years. But
/ did not know what allied me- When,
however, found it was kidney diff
Guilty thought there was little hope,
and so did the doctors. / have since
learned that one of the physicians of
this city pointed me out to gentleman

year. I believe his words would have
proved true if / had not providentially
used the remedy now known as War
nRr's Safe Cure"
DIR. s. A. baltimore, although busily
engaged upon some matters connected
with the State Board of Health, Of
which he is one of the analysts, cour-
teousIy answered the questions that
were proBounded him:
did you make q chemical analysis
of the case of Mr.. Fl. Fl. Warner some
three years ago, Doctors?
Yes, sir.

"And what did the symptoms indi-

Did you think Mr.. Warner could re-

mo, sir. I did not think it possible"
do you know anything about the
remedy which cured hin?"
Yes. have chemically analysed it
and find it pure and harmless"
We publish the foregoing statements
ia view of the commotioa which the
publicity of DR.. Henion's article has
caused and to meet the protestations
which have been made. The doctor was
cured four gears ago and is tceu and at
teEdiRg to his professional duties to-
day. The standing of DR.. Henien, Mr..
Warner and DR.. baltimore in the COM
munity is beyond question and the
statements they make, cannot for
moment be doubted. DR.. Henion's ex--
