Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1885-02-27
EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
Widespread Commetfon Caused by
that Remarkable Statement of n
Physician.

Democrat, created deal of comment
here as it has elsewhere. Apparently
it caused even more commotion IN
Rochester, as the following from the
same paper shows:
DR.. ]. B. Henion, who is we'll 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 nu-
merous that further investigation OF the
subject was deemed an editorial neces-
sity.
With this end in view representa-
tive of this paper called on DIR. Henion
at his residence ON Andrews street,
when the following interview occurred
"That article Of yours, Doctor, has GRE
ated quite whirlwind. Are the state
ments 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-
tionaI ones. / was brought SO low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. / did not think / was sick.
1t is true / had frequent headaches; !;
felt tired most of the time; could eat
nothing 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
profession have been treating symptoms
instead of diseases for years, and it is
high time it ceased. The symptoms
have Just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach OF
kidney disease more than cough
announces the coming of consump-
ton. 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
news, 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 real
ity are Bright's disease in some of its
many forms It 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, apo
plexy, heart disease, pneumonia, mala-
rial 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 l was by the timely use
of the same remedy / 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. A
first he was inclined to be reticent, bu
learning that the information desired
was about Bright's disease, his manne
changed instantly and he spoke yer,
earnestly:
/" 1t is true that Bright's disease hat
increased wonderfully, and we find, b.
reliable statistics, that from 10 to 80
its growth was over $50 per cent. Lool
at the prominent men it has carried off
Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Car
penter, Bishop Haven, Folger, Cola.
and others. Nearly every week the pa
pers record the death of some promi
nent man from this scourge. Recently
however, the increase has been checked
and / attribute this to the general us
Of my remedy"
"Do you think many people are al
flieted with it to-day who do not real
ize it, Mr.. Warner?"
"A prominent professor in New On
leans medical college was lecturing be
fore his class on the subject of Bright
disease. He had various fluids unde
the microscopical analysis and wa
showing the students what the indica
tions of this terrible malady were. AN,
now, gentlemen,' he said, as we hav
seen the unhealthy indications / vii
show you how it appears in state Q
perfect health, and he submitted hi
-own fluid to the usual test. As h
watched the results his countenanc
SUDDENLY changed-his color and com
mand both left him and in tremblin,
voice he said: Gentlemen, hav
made painful discovery; / hav,
Bright's disease of the kidneys Ant
in less than year he was dead. TIL,
slightest indications of any kidney diff
ficulty should be enough to strike ter
ror to any one"
You know of DR.. Henion's easel?
/" Yes, / have both read and heard O
it."
/" Il is very wonderful is it not?"
Not more so than great man,
others that have come to my notice a
having been cured by the same means.
You believe then that Brights dis
ease can be cured"
g know it can. / know it from my
own and the experience of thousand
of prominent persons who were givel
up to die by both their physicians ant
friends"
