JUST AS BAD AS PAINTED.
Widespread Commotion Caused

recently from the Rochester, N. u,
Democrat and Chronicle, created a deal
OF comment here as it has elsewhere
Apparentlyit caused even more commo'
ton in Rochester, as the following from
the same paper shows:
DR.. j. Il. Henion who is we'll known
not only in Rochester. but in nearly
every part OF America, sent an extend
ed article to this paper a few days ago
which was fully published. detailing
MS remarkable experience and rescue
from what seemed certain death,
YOU'D be Impossible TO enumerate the
personal inquiries which have been
made at u office as to the validity of
the article, but they have been so num-
erous that further investigator of the
subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view a representa-
tive OF this paper called on DR.. Hen
Ion at his residence on Andrews street,
when the following interview occurred
That article Of yours. Doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. Are the
statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were
rescued such as you can sustain? 7"
Every one of them and many adj
ditional ones. | was brought SO ow
by neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think | was sick.
1t is true / had frequent headaches
felt tired most of the time; could eat
nothing one day and was ravenOus the
next; felt dull pains and my stomach
was out of order, but | did not think it
meant anything serious. The medical
profession has been treating symptoms
instead OF diseases for years, and it's
high time 1t ceased. The symptoms |
have just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation of the water chan
nels indicate the approach 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
trying to relieve the headache, pains
about the body or other symptoms, but
60 direct 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 1t 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-
monia, malarial fever and other com
non complaints, which | see 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 2s | was by the timely use
of the same remedy. | 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 who was visited at his
establishment on North st. Paul street,
spoke very earnestly:
II is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
reliable statistics, that, from 20 to 80,
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 men are dying apparently of
paralysis and apopleXy, they are really
victims of kidney disorder, which
causes heart disease, paralysis, apo
plexy, etc. Nearly every week the
papers record the death of some prOmi-
nent 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 real
ize it 2"
"a prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing
before his class on the subject OF
Bright's disease. He had various huids
under microscopic analysis and was
showing the students what the indica.
tons of this terrible malady were.
And now, gentlemen he said, 'as we
have seen the unhealJy 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 changed-his color and COM
mand both left him and in "A trembling

a painful discovery; l have Bright's
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?"
Eyes | have both read and heard OF
It,"
ut is very wonderful, is it nOt?"
"Nu 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 dis
ease can be cured?'
IL know it can. | know from my
own and the experience of t~housandso OF
prominent persons who were given up
to die by both their physicians and
friends"
"You speak of your own experience;
what was it?' -,
"a fearful one. / 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 n OF the physicians
of this city pointed ne out TO q gentle
