JUST AS BAD AS PAINTED.

Terrible Confession Of Physloiaa.
The story published in these columns
recently, from the Rochester, N. T.,
Democrat and Chronicle, created dea,
of comment here as it has elsewhere.
Apparently it caused even more COM
motion 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. It
would be impossible to enumerate the
personal inquiries which have been
made at our Office A. to the validity of
the article, but they have been 80 num-
erous that further investigation of the
subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view representative
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 . whirlwind. Are the
statements about the terrible condition
you were in. and the way you were res-
cued, such as you can sustain p
Livery one of them and many ad-
ditional ones. was brought 50 low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. did not think l was sick.
1t is true l had frequent headaches; felt
tired most OF the time; could eat moth
ing one day and was ravenous tho next;
felt dull pains and my stomach was out
of order. but did not think it meant
anything serious. The medical profess
sion has been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and it is hiph
time it ceased: The symptoms have

more than a cough announces the COM
ing of consumption. We do not treat
the cough, but try to help the lungs.
We should not waste our time trying 10
relieve the headache, pains about the
body or other symptoms, but 60 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 a bydra-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-
monia, malarial fever and other CON-
mon complaints, which l see now were
caused by Bright's disease"
''And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first p
''Every one of them, and might have
been cured as was, by the timely use
of the same remedy. l am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this matter
aud think l am helping others to see
the facts and their possible danger
Also"
Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his
establishment on North St. Paul street,
spoke very earnestly:
ut is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and We find, by
reliable statistics, that from 20 to 80,
it's 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 paraly sis
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 in.
crease has been checked and attribute
this to the general use of my remedy"
do you think many people are af-
tlicted with it to-day who do not realize
it?"
"A prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lectuline
before his class on the subject of Bright s
disease. He had various fluids under
microscopic analysis aud was showing
the students what the indications of this
terrible malady were. And now, gen.
tlemen.' he said, as we have seen the
unhealthy indications l 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 suddenly chang.
ed-his color and command both lef,
him and in trembling voice he said
Gentlemen, have made a painful dis
covery;I have Bright's disease of the
Kidneys And in less than a year he was
dead. The slightest indications of any
kidney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any onc."
"You know of DIR. Henion's caseP'
Eyes, have both read and heard OF
it,"
ut is very wonderful, is 1t notp'
mo more so than q great many 9th.
ers that have come to my notice as hav'
ing been cured by the same MEANS"
"You believe then that Bright's dis
ease can be curedp"
II know it can. know it from my
own and the experience of thousands Of
prominent persons who were given up
friends"
lyon speak Of your own experience;
what vas it?''
"A fearful one. I had felt languid
and untitled for business for years. But
[ did not know what allied me. When,
however, found it was kidney diff.
Guilty I thought there was little hope
and 80 did the doctors. have since
learned that one of tho physicians oil
this city pointed me out to gentleman
on the street one day, saying: There
goes a man who will be dead within 4
year. l believe his words would have
proved true if had not providentially
used the remedy now known a. War
ner's Safe Cure"
Ibid you make chemical analysis
of the case of MIR. H. H. Warner some
three years ago, Doctor?" was asked
DIR. S. A. baltimore, one of the analysts
of the state board of health.
Eyes, SIR"
"What did this analysis show your
IA serious disease Of the Kidneys
did you think Mr.. Warner could re-
covcr?''
