JUST AS BAD AS PAINTED.
Widespread Commotion Caused by tho
Terrible Confession of a PhYRician.

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 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 pub
1ished, 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 in view representative Of
this paper called 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 sustainW
Every one OF them and many addition
ing the first and most simple symptoms. I
did not think I was sick. It is true had
frequent headaches; felt tired most of the
time; could eat nothing one day and was
ravenous tho next; felt dull pains and my
stomach was out of order, but I did not
think it meant anything serious. The med
ical profession has been treating symptoms
time it ceased. The symptoms have just
mentioned or any unusual action or irrita-
ton Of the water channels indicate the ap-
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.n
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 ere
torturing people to-day, which in reality
are Bright's disease in some of its many
forms 1t is 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-
monia, malarial fever and other common
complaints, which see now were caused by
bflSnG'S 0lSeaSe."
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at firsts"
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 am help
ing others to see the facts and their possible
danger also"
Z 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-
BILE statistics that from 80 to 80, its growth
was over $50 per cent. Look at the promi-
nent men it has carried off, and is taking
of every year, for while many are dying
apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, they
are really victims Of kidney disorder, which
causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy,
etc. Nearly every week the papers record
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 a New Orleans
medical college was lecturing before his
class on the subject of Bright's disease. He
Sis 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 I will show
you how it appears in q state Of perfect
health and he submitted his own fluid to
the usual test. As he watched the results
his countenance suddenly changed-his
trembling voice he said: Gentlemen, !
have made painful discovery; 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 one"
"You know Of DIR. Henion's cases''
Yes, l have both read and heard of it."
It is very wonderful, is it not!"
"No more SO than a great many others
that have come to my notice as having been
cured by the same means"
"You believe then that Bright's disease
can be cured."
~ know it can. know it from my own
and the experience of thousands Of Promi
nent persons who were given up to die by
both their physicians and friends
You speak OF your own experience;
GA 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 difficulty thought
there was little hope and SO did the doctors.
l have since learned that one of the physi-
cans OF this city pointed me out to gem
tleman on the street one day, saying:
There goes man who will be dead within
a year, I believe his words would have
proved true if had otprovidentially used
the remedy now known as Warmers Safe
Cure"
ibid you make chemical analysis of the
case of Mr.. II. II. Warner, some three years
ago, Doctor2" was asked Dr. s. A. Latti-
more, one Of the analysts of the state board
Of health"
"Yes, sir.''
"What did this analysis show yous'
"a serious disease Of the kidneys"
did you think Mr.. Warner could recov-
err"
Ono, sir. did not think it possible"
"Do you know anything about the RENE
dy which cured him."
~ have chemically analysed it and find
it pure and harmless"
Or. Henion was cured .fve years ago and is
well and attending to his professional duties
to-day, in this city. The standing Of DR..
Henion, Mr.. Warner and DR.. baltimore in
the community is beyond question, and the
statements they make can not for moment
be doubted. Dr.. 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.
