The story published in these columns re-
Gently, from the Rochester, N. Y. Democrat
and Chronicle, created a deal of comment
here asst has elsewhere. Apparently it caused
even more connection in Rochester, as the
following from the sans 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 pa
per a few days ago which was duly published,
detailing his remarkable experience and res
cue from what seemed to be certain death.
It would be impossible to enumerate the per-
sonalinquiries which have been made at our of
flee as to the validity of the article, but they
have been so numerous that further lnveStlga-
ton of the subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view a representative of
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his resi-
dence on Andrews street, when the following
interview occurred THAT article of yours,
doctor, has created quite a w%hirlwind. Are
the statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were rescued,
such as you can sustain Z:

consumption. Wedo ottreatt 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 di-
rectly to the kidneys, the source of most of
these ailments"
This, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than one-half of the deaths
which occur arise from Brights di ease, is it,

Precisely. Thousands of diseases are tor
turing people to-day. which in reality are
Brights 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 lock back and recall
hundreds of deaths which physicians declared
at the time We're caused by paralysis, apo
plexy, 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 symp-
toms at first e
Every one of them, and might have been

remedy. | am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened in this matter, and think [ am helping

Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his estab-
lishment on North st. Paul street, spoke very
earnestly
/" 1t is true that Bright's disease had in
creased wonderfully, and we find by reliable
statistics that from 20 to so its growth was
over $50 per cent. Look at the prominent men
it has carried off, and is taking off every year,
for while many are dying apparently of paral-
ysis and apoplexy. they are really victims of
kidney disorder, which causes heart disease,
paralysis, 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 2
"A prominent professorin a New Orleans
medical college was featuring before his class
on the subject of Brightis disease. He had
various fluids under microscopic analysis and
was showing the students what the indica-
ions of this terrible malady were. And
now gentlemen he said, as we have seen
the unhealthy indications I 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 countenance sud
denly changed-bis color and command both
left him and in a trembling voice he sGi !:
Gentlemen, [ lave ade-a painful discovery;
| have Brightfs disease of the Kidneys And
in less than a year he was dead. The slight
est indications of any kidney difficulty should
be enough to strike terror to any one.'
You know of Dr.. Henion's case q .
Yes, I have both read and heard OF it,
" 1t is very wonderful, is il not p
"No more so than q great many others that
have come to my notice as having been cured
by the sans means.

and the experience of thousands of prominent
persons who were given up to die by both
their physicians and friends
1" You speak of your own experience; what
was it q
"A fearful one. Ihad felt 1anguid and IN
fitted for business for years. But [ did not
know what allied me. When, however, I
found it was kidney difficulty I thought there
was little hope, and SO did the doctors. I nave
since learned that n of the physicians of
this city pointed me out to a gentleman ON the
street one day, saying: There goes q man
who will be dead within a year. [ believe his
words would have proved true If | had not
pr~ovidentially used the remedy now known as

:" Did you make a chemical analysis of the
case of Mr.. Fl. II. Warner some three wears
age, doctor n was asked DR.. S. A. baltimore,
one of the analysts of the State Board of
Health
Yes, SIR
What did this ANALYSIS show YOU! n
"A serious disease of the kidneys"
Did you think Mr.. Warner would re-
covert y
"No, sir. I did not think it possible
do you know anything about the remedy
which cured him e.
"Ihave chemically analysed it and found
it pure and harmless
DR.. Henion was cured fire gears ago and as
trett and attending to his professional duties
to-day in this city. The standing of DIR. Hen
ion, Mr.. Warner and DR.. baltimore in the
community is beyond question, and hesitate
ments they make cannot for a moment be
doubted. DIR. Henion's experience shows that
Bright's disease of the kidneys is one OF the
most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases;
that it is exceedingly common, but that it can
be cured if taken IN time.
