widespread Commotion Caused BY the Ter


ribIe Confession of a Physician.
The story published in these columns re-
Gently, from the Rochester, N. Y. Democrat
and Chronicle, created a deal of comment
here sit has elsewhere. Apparently it caused
even more commotion i'll Rochester, as the
following from the same paper shows:
DIR. 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 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-
sonal inquiries which have been made at our Of
fee as to the validity of the article, but they
have been so numerous that further invcstiga-
ton of the subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view q representative of
this paper called on Dr. Hcnion at his resi-
tlence 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 2

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-

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,

symptoms should strike terror to every one
who has them. | can look back and recall
hundreds of deaths which physicians declared
Mt the time were caused by paralysis, apo
plexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial
fever and other common complaints which l
tee now were caused by Brights disease"
" And did all these cases have simple Symp-

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
'It is true that Bright's disease had in
creased wonderfully, aud we find by reliable
statistics that from 10 to 50 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-
isis and apoplcxy, 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 y
A prominent professor i'll a New Orleans
medical college was lecturing before his class
on the subject of Bright's disease. He had
various fluids under microscopic analysis and
was showing the students what the ndica-
lions of this terrible malady were. And
how, gentlemen, he said, as we have seen
,he unhealthy indications will show you how
1t appears in state of perfect health, and he
submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As
he watched the results his counteuance sud
llenly changed-his color and command both

have come to my notice as having been cured
by the same means

this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the
street one day, saying: There goes mar

Did you make 9 chemical analysis of tn.
case of Mr.. II. H. Warner some three year.
age, doctor 2 was asked DR.. s. A baltimore
one of the analysts of the State Board Of
HEALTH
"Yes, sir"
What did this analysis show you 2"
A serious disease of the kidneys"
Did you think Mr.. Warner would re-
cover =
" No, sir. did not think it possible"
Do you know anything about the remedy
which cured him p
" have chemically analysed it and found
it pure and harmless"
DR.. Henion was cured fire gears ago and is
sUeH and attending to his professional duties
to-day in this city. The standing of Dr. Hen
ion Mr.. Warner and DR.. baltimore i'll the
community is beyond question, and tn state
ments they make cannot for a moment b.
doubted. DR.. Henion's experience shows that
Brights 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.
