Terrible Confession of a Physician.

| Terrible Confession of Physician.
The story published in these columns re-
| Gently, from the Rochester, n. Y, Democrat
and Chronicle, created deal of comment
here as it has elsewhere. Apparently it
caused even more commotion in Rochester,
as the following from the samepaper shows
| DR.. j. B. Henion, who is well-known not
only in Rochester, hut in nearly every part
| of America, sent an extended article to this
| paper a few days ago which was duly pub
Hshed, 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 our Office as to the validity OF the
article, but they have been so numerous
that further investigation OF the subject
was deemed necessary.
With this end i'll view a representative o.
this appreciated on DR.. Henion at his resi-
dence on Andrew street, when the follow
ing interview occurred: "That article of
yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirl-
wind. Are the statements about the terri
bic condition you were in, and the way you
were rescued such as you can sustain"
"Every one Of them and many addition
al ones. l was brought so low by neglect
ing the first and most simple symptoms !
did not think [ was sick. 1t is true haG
frequent headaches: felt tired most of the
time; could eat nothing one day and WAS
rayeuous the next; felt dull pains and NY
stomach was out OF order, but [ did not
think it meant anything serious. The med
iCal profession has been treating symptoms
instead OF diseases for years, and it IS high
time it ceased. The symptoms l have just
mentioned or any unusual action or lrrlta-
ton of the water channels indicate the ep-
proach of kidney disease more than a cough
announces the coming of consumption. We
do not treat the cough, but try to help the
lungs. We should not waste our time try
ing to relieve the headache. pains about the
body or other symptoms, but go directly to
the Kidneys the source of most of these all
ments.'
This, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than onc-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 i'll some of its many
forms. 1t is hydra headed monster and
the slightest symptoms should strike terror
to every one who has them. l can look
back and recall hundreds of deaths which
physicians declared at the time We're caused
by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneu-
moIia, 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 help
ing others to see the facts and their possible
danger alSO.h
Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his estab-
ment on North St Paul street, spoke very
earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease had in
creased wonderfully, and we find. by relia-
bic statistics that from 20 II 80. its growth
was over $50 per cent. Look at the promi-
nent men it has carried off, and is taking
off every year, for, while many are dying
apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, they
are really victims of kidney disorder, which
causes heart disease, paralys apopleXy,
etc. 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 afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it?'
"A prominent professor in New Orleans
medical college was lecturing before his
class on the subject of Bright's disease. He
bad various fluids under microscopic analy- /
sis and was showing the students what the
Of this terrible maladv We're.
And now, gentlemen he said, as we have
seen the unhealthy indications l will show
you a,t now ~, It appears T state OF perfect
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, |
have made painful discovery; hav1
less than year he was dead. The slightest |
indications of any kidney difficulty should +!
be enough to strike terror to any one.''
You know of Dr. Henion's case3''
"Yes, have both read and heard of ;t'' !
I" 1t is very wonderful, is it not?'
No CO r #
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 nv own /
and the experience Of thousands of promi- /
aent persons who We're given up to die by /
both their physicians and friends
You speak of your own experience: .
what was it!'
" A fearful one. I had lelt languid and
untitled for, business for years. But did !
not know what allied NE. When, however
found it was kidney difficulty I thought
.here was little hope and SO did the doctors
have since learned that one of tue phySi-
clans of this city pointed me out to gen,
5lenlan on the street one day, saving:
There goes man who will be dead within
4 year. L believe his words would have
proved true if had tprovidentially used
