widespread Commotion Caused by
that Remarkable Statement of a
Physician.


recently, from the Rochester, n. Y.
democrat, created deal of comment
here as 1t has elsewhere. Apparently
1t caused even more commotien in
Rochester, as the following from the
same paper shows:
DIR. j. III, Henion, who is well-known
not only in Rochester but in nearly
every part of America, sent an extended
article to this paper, a few days age
which was duly published, detailing his
remarkable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. Ii
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 DIR. Henion
at his residence on Andrews street.
when the following interview occurred :
That article of yours, Doctor, has
created quite whirlwind. Are the

you were in, and the way you were
rescued such as you can sustain
ditional ones. | was brought so low

symptoms. | did not think [ was sick.
1t is true had frequent headaches; felt
tired most of the time; could eat moth

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, pneu-
monla, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints which | see now were

"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. but
learning that the information desir-
ed was about Bright's disease. his man
ner 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 20
to 50, its growth was over $50 per cent.
Look at the prominent mcn 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
geEeral use of my remedy"
do you think many people are afllict
ed with 1t to-day who do not realize it,
Mr.. Warner?p
"a prominent professor in 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 we're. And now,
gentlemen he said, 'as we have seen
the unhealthy indications / will show
you how it appears in a state of perfect
health, and he submitted his own fluid
to the usual test. AS he watched the
results his countenaAce sud denly chang
ed--his color and command both left
him and ia a trembling voice he said:
Gentlemen. | have made a painful dis
covery; | have Bright's disease of the
kidneys, and in less than a year he was
dead. The slightest indication of any
kidney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one"
"You know of DR.. Henion's case?"
Eyes, l have both read and heard
of it.

mo more so than a great maay
others that have come to my notice
rs 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 thous-
ands of prominent persons who were
given up to die by both their physicians
and friends"
