Remarkable Statement of q Physician
| The story published in these columns re-
Gently, from the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat,
created deal of comment here as il has else
| where. Apparently it caused even more commo-
| ZION In Rochester, 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 article to this paper a fe y
days ago which was duly published, detailing
ms remarkable experience and rescue from
| what seemed to be certain death. 1t would b.
impossible to enumerate the personal enquire
which have been made at our Office as to the
validity of the article, but they have been so
| numerous that further investigation of tie
| SUBJECT was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative cf
this paper called on DR.. Henion at his resi-
| dence 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 2"
Livery one of them and many additional
| ones. l was brought so low by neglecting the
| first and most simple symptoms. [ did not
| think was sick. 1t is true 1 had frequent
| headaches; felt tired most of the time; could
eat nothing one day and was ravenous the
next; felt Gull pains and my stomach was out

serious. The medical profession have been
treating symptoms instead of diseases for years,
and 1t Is high time it ceased. The symptoms

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 headache, pains about the body, or
ether symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys,
the source OF most of these ailments"
Ihls, then, Is what you meant when you
sad that more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is il
DoctBr?"
Precisely Thousands of diseases are tor
turing people to-day, which in reality are
Brlght's disease in some Of ifs 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 dis
ease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints which I see now were caused
by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple symp-
toms at first ?"
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as I was by the timely use of the same
Iemedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened In this matter and think I am helping
others to see the facts and their possible dan

MIR. Warner was visited at his establishment
on North st. Paul Street. At first he was in
clIned to be reticent, but learning that the in
formation desired was about Bright's disease
his manner changed instantly and he spoke
very earnestly:
1T is true that Bright's disease had increased
wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics.
that from 10 to 80, its growth over $50
per cent Look at the prominent men it has car
lied off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Car
penter Bishop, Haven, Folger, Cofax, and
others. Nearly every week the papers record
the death of some prominent mau 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 afflicted with
it to-day who do not realize it, MIR. Warner?"
"a prominent professor in a New Orleans
medical college was lecturing before his class
on the subject of Brlght's disease. He had va
rloUs fluids under microscopic analysis and was
showing the students what the indications of
this terrible malady were. sand now, gentle
men. he said, as we have seen the unhealthy
indications / Will show you how it appears in
state of perfect health and he submitted bis
own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the
results his countenance suddenly changed-his
color and command both left him and in q
trembling voice he said: Gentlemen, I have
made pain full discovery; have Brights dis
ease Of the Kidneys And in less than year
he was dead. The slightest indications of any
kidney difficulty should be enough to strike ter
ror TO any one"
lyon know DIR. Henion's case?"
"Yes, l have both read and heard Of it."
1t is very wonderful, is it not?"
No more so than a great many others that
have come to my notice as 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 thousands of prominent per-
sons who were given up to die by both their
physicians and friends"
was it?"
ga fearful one. had felt languid and I'M
fitted for business for years. But I did not
know what allied me. When. however, found
it was kidney difficulty, l thought there was
little hope, and so did the doctors. I have
since learned that one of the physicians of this
city pointed me out to gentleman on the
street one day, saying: There goes man
who will be dead within year. I believe his
words would have proved true if 1 had net
providentially used the remedy nov known as
Warmers Safe Cure"
DR.. S. A. baltimore, although busily engaged
upon some matters connected with the State
Board of Health, Of which he is one Of the
analysts, courteOusly answered the questions
that were propounded him:
did you make chemical analysis of the
case Of MIR. II. Fl. Warner some three years
ago, Doctor"
s'Yes, SIR"
''What did this analysis show your"
"Ihe presence of albumen and tube casts in
great abundance"
Sand what did the symptoms indicator"
ga serious disease of the Kidneys"
'EDid you think Mr.. Warner could recover"
mo, sir. did not think it possible
''Do you know anything about the remedy
which cured him?"
sYes. have chemically analysed it and
find it pure and harmless"
We publish the foregoing statements in view
of the commotion which the publicity of DR..
Eenion's article has caused and 10 meet the
protestations which have been made. The
doctor was cured four gears ago and is aoeH and
attending to his professional duties to-day.
The standing of DR.. Henion, Mr.. Warner and
DR.. baltimore in the community is beyond
question and the statements they make, cannot
TOR moment be doubted. DIR. Henion's ex-
Perience shows that Bright's disease of the kid
heys is one of the most deceptive and dan
ferrous Of all diseases, that it is exceedingly
common, and that it can be cured.
