Widespread CommotiOn Caused by the
Terrible Confession OF a Physician.
The story published in these columns
recently, from the Rochester, n. Y,
Democrat and Chronicle. created a deal
of comment here as it has elsewhere
Apparently it >aused eyea 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. IL
would be impossible to enumerate the
personal inquiries which have been
made at our Office IL to the validity Of
the article, but they have been so num-
erous that further investigation of the
subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view a representative
of this paper called on DIR. 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 ?''
Every one of them and many adj

anything serious. The medical profess

We should not waste our time trying 10

body or other symptoms, but go directly

these ailments"
This. then, is what you meant when
YOU said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Bright
disease. is it, Doctor p''
Precisely Thousands of diseases
are torturing people to-day, which in
reality are Bright's disease in some of
its many forms. 1t Is hydra-headed
monster, aud the slightest symptoms
should strike terror 10 every one who
has them. | can look back aud recall
hundreds of deaths which physicians
declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apOplexy, heart disease, pneu-
monia, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints, which | 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 l was, by the timely use
of the same remedy. / am getting my
ewes thoroughly opened in this matter
and think l am helping others to see

also"
Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his
tSAdDlASuLutul On ANul III kDts Il dul SlLEGif
spoke very earnestly:
at is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find. by
reliable statistics, that from 20 to 80,
its growth was over 250 per cent. Look
at the prominent men it has carried of,
and is taking off 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 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-
aicted with it to-day who do not realize
it?"
"A prominent professor in New
Orleans medical college was lectuing
before his class on the subject of Bright's
disease. He had various fluids under
microscopic analysis and 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 | 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 left
him and in a trembling voice he said:
Gentlemen. have made painful dis
covery; have Bright's disease of the
kidneys. And in less than 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 caseP"
Yes, | have both read and heard of
it."
lit is very wonderful, is it not?''
mo more so than great many 9th
ers that have come to my notice as hay-
ing been cured by the same means.
You believe then that Bright's dis
ease can be cured?"
Il know it can. know it from my
own and the experience of thousands of
prominent persons who were given up
to die by both their physicians and
friends"
You speak of your own experience;
what vas 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 diff

and so did the doctors. have since

this city pointed me out TO gentleman

did you make chemical analysis
of the case of Mr.. ii. II. Warner some
three years ago, Doctor?" was asked
DR.. 5. A. baltimore, one of the analysts
of the state board of health.
