ExoITEMENT N ROCHESTER,.
Widespread Commotion Caused by
That Remarkable Statement Of
Physician. ctr

NO@~~--%-N
recently, from the Rochester IN. "
Democrat, created deal of comment
here as it has elsewhere Apparently it
caused even more commotion in Roeh-
ester, as the following from the same
paper shows
DR.. J. 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, a few days ago, which
was duly published, detailing his re-
markable experience and rescue IRON
what seemed to be certain death. 1t
would be impossible to enumerate the
personal inquiries 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 representative
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 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 addi-
tional ones. / was brought so low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. 1 did not think was sick.
1t is true l had frequent headaches; 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
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 l have
just 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 con-
sumption. 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 kid
neys, the source OF most of these all
ments."
"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 re-
atty are Bright's disease in some of its
many forms. 1t is 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, apeplexy,
hearG disease, pneumonia, malarial fever,
and other common complaints which /
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 was by the timely use
of the same remedy. 1 am getting my
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, bur
learning that the information desired
was about Bright's disease, his manner
changed instantly and he spoke very
earnestly:
"It is true that Blight's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that from 1870 to 80,
its growth was over $50 per cent. Look
at the prominent men it has carried off:
Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Car.
penter, Bishop Haven, Folger, Colfax,
and others. Nearly every week the
papers record the death of some promi-
nent 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 af-
hicted with it to-day who do not realize
it, MIR. Warner?"
ga prominent professor in New
Orleans medical college was lecturing
before his class on the subject of Brights
disease. He had various finds 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 l viii 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: Gen.
tlemen, have made a painful discovery:
have Rright's disease of the kidneys
And in less than year he was dead.
The slightest indications of any kidney
difficulty should be enough to strike
terror to any one.

it"
SIT is very wonderful, is it not ?"
mo more so than great many
Others that have come to my notice as
having been cured by the same means "
"You believe then that Bright's dis,
ease can be cured.

own and the experience OF thousands of
prominent persons who were given up
to die by both their physicians and
friends"
"You speak of your own experience,
what was it,"

and untitled for business for years. But
