EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.

PHYSICIAN.
The story published in these columns
recently, from the Rochester. N. Y,
Democrat, created deal of comment
here as it has elsewhere. Apparently
Il caused even more commotion 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 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 inquiries which have been
made at this office as to the validity of
the article. but they have been so nu-
merous that further investigation of the
fsubject was deemed an editorial neces-
sity.
Il 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 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 addi-
tional ones. l was brought so low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms 1 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 my stomach was out
of order, but l did not think it meant
anything serious. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead 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 cham
nels indicate the approach of
kidney disease more than a cough an
nounces 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 OF other symp-
toms but 90 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's
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 q hydra-headed
monster, and the slightest symp-
toms should strike terror to every one
who has them. can look back and
recall hundreds of deaths which physi-
clans declared at the time were caused
by paralysis, apoplexy, heart 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. [ am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this matter,
and think l 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 desired
was about Bright's disease, his manner
changed Instantly and he spoke very
earnestly:
sit is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that from 20 to 80,
its growth was over 250 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 l attribute this to the general use
of my remedy"
''Do you think many people are af-
ficted with it to-day who do not realize
it, Mr.. Warner?"
ga prominent professor in a New Or
leans medical college was lecturing be-
fore 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 1 will show
you how it appears in state of per-
feet 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 a trembling voice he
said: Gentlemen, l have made pain
full discovery; l have Bright's disease
of the Kidneys And in less than a
year he was dead. The slightest indi-
cations of any kidney difficulty should
be enough to strike terror to any one"
'sYou know of DR.. Henion's case?"
Eyes, / have both read and heard of
it,
cit is very wonderful, is it not?'
'.No more so than great many 9TH
ers that have come to my notice as hay
ing been cured by the same means"
.'You believe then that Bright's dis
ease can be cured
Il know it can. / know it from my
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?'
