Widespread CommorIoD Caused by

that Remarkable Statement of
Physician.
The story published in these columns
recently, from the Rochester, n. Y.
Democrat, created a deal of comment
here as it has else where. Apparently
1T caused even more commOti0n IN
Rochester, as the following from the
same paper shows:
DR.. j. I'll. 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
VII CHI was duly published, detailing his
remarkable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. Tt
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 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 whirlwind. Are the.
statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were
| rescued such as you can su5tain?"

ditional ones. I was brought so low
by neglecting the first and most simple
! symptoms. I did not think / was sick.
1t is true / 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

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 Brights
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 a 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, pnou
| mOnia, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints which see now We're
caused by Bright's disease

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:
'ft is true that Bright's disease lad
| increased wonderfully, and we find.
by reliable statistics, that from 20
| to 80, it's 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 att1lct-
ed with it to-day who DO not realize it,
Mr.. Warner"
"a prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing
before 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,
gentlemen, he said, as we have seen
, the unhealthy indications viii show
