JUST AS BAD AS PAINTED.
Widespread COnlmoti0n Caused by the Terrible Con-
fession of Physician.

Widespread COnm0ti0n Caused by the 1erriple ION
fession of Physician.
The story published in these columns re-
Gently, from the Rochester N. " Democrat and
Chronicle, created deal of comment here as it
. h=s elsewhere. Apparently it caused even
more commotion in Rochester, as tho 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, de-
| failing 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 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 III, and
| the way you were rescued, such as you can sus-
| tain?"
Every one of them and many additional
ones. l was brought so low by neglectng the
! first and most simple symptoms. L did not
think l 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 l did not think it meant anything serious.
| The medical profession has been treating
symptoms instead of diseases for years, and 1t
| is high time it ceased. The symptoms L nave
just mentioned, or any unusual action or irrl-
| taton of the water channels indicate the APP
prOach of kidney disease more than 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 20 directly to the KID
neyS, the source of most of these ailments"
This, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than onehalf the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it, Doc
! tori"
Precisely. Thousands of diseases arc tor
turing people to-day which i'll reality are
| BrlghtS disease in soIne 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 were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever, and
other common complaints, which l see now
were caused by Brights disease"
And did all these cases have simple symp-
| toms at tirst?"
Every one of them, and might have been
cured as l was by the timely use of the same
remedy. l am getting my eyes thoroughly
| i
others to see the facts and their possible danger
also"
| Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his estab
ment on North st. Paul street, spoke very ear
nestly:
lit is true that Bright's disease has 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 1T has
carried of and is taking off every year, for
while many are dying apparently of paralysis
and apopleXy, they are really victims of kid
ney disorder, which causes heart disease, paral-
ysis, apoplcXy, 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 afflicted with
| it to-day who do not realize it?"
| "a prominent professor in q New Orleans
| medical college was lecturing before his class
on the subject of Brights disease He had va
| rious fluids under microscopic analysis and was
showing the students what the indications of
this terrible malady were. And now gentle
men, he said, as we have seen the unhealthy
| indications, l will show you how it appears in
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 command both left him, and in
trembling voice he said: Gentlemen, | have
made painful discovery; have Bright's dis
ease 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 DR.. Henion's case ?"
"Ycs, have both read and heard of it,"
ut is very wonderful, is it not?"
I No more so than 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 prominent per-
sons who were given up to die by both their
physicians and friends"
You speak of your own experience; what
was it?"
"a fearful one. l had felt languid and an
fitted for business for years. But | did not
know what allied me. When, however found
it was kidney difficulty l thought there was
little hope and so did the doctors. | have since
learned that one of the physicians of this city
pointed me out to a gentleman OH the street one
day, saying: There goes man who will be
dead within year l believe his words would
have proved true if | had not prOvidentally
used the remedy now known as Warmers Safe
Cure"
did you make chemical analysis of the
case of Mr.. II. III. Warner some three years ago,
Doctor?" was asked DR.. S. a. baltimore one of
the analysts of the State Board of Health.
| eS, SIT.
"What did this analysis show your"
"a serious disease OF the kidneys"
"Did you think Mr.. Warner could recover 2"
"No, Sir / did not think it possible"
DO you know anything about the remedy
which cured him?"
Il have chemically analysed it and find it
pure and harmless"
Dr. Henion was cured fire gears ago and is rel
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 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.
