TIL story published in these columns re-
Gently, from the Rochester On. W Demo-
crat and Chronicle, created a deal OF com
ment here as it has elsewhere. Apparently
it caused even more commotion in Roches-
ter, 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
paper a few days ago which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experience
Inc rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumer-
ate the personal inquiries which nave 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 a representative OF
this paper called on DIR. Henion at his resi-
dence on Andrews street, when the follow
ing interview occurred: THAT article of
yours, Doctor, has created quite IL whirl-
wind. Are the statements about the terri
BILE condition you were in, and the way you
were rescued, such as you can sustain?"
Every one of them and many additional
ones. l was brought so low by neglecting
the first and most simple symptoms. Ibid

quent 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 med
ical profession has been treating symptoms
instead OF diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. The symptoms have just
mentioned or any unusual action or irrita-
ton of the water channels indicate the APP
proach Of kidney disease more than IL
cough announces the coming OF consump'
ton. 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 go directly 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
it, Doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands OF diseases arc
torturing people to-day, which in reality
are Bright's disease in some of it's many
forms. 1t is a 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

pneumonia, malarial fever and other COM
mon complaints. which 1 see now 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 as | was by the timely use OF the
the same remedy. l am getting M 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 estab-
lishnient on North St. Paul street, spoke
very earnestly:
1T is true that Bright's disease had in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by re-
statistics that from 70 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 are
dying apparently Of paralysis and apo .
plexy, they are really victims of kidney
disorder, which causes heart disease, par
alysis, apopleXy, etc. Nearly every week
the papers record the death of some proni-
nent man from this scourge. Recently,
however, the increase has been checked and
l 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 Or
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
the Indications OF this terrible NAL
ady were. And now, gentlemen he said,
as we nave 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
his countenance suddenly changed
his color and command both left him
and in n trembling voice he said: Gentle
men, l hav made a painful discovery; 1
have Bright's disease OF the Kidneys And
in less than a year he was dead. The
indications OF any kidney difficulty
be enough to strike terror to any
one"
You know of DR.. Henion's case?"
"9es, l ave both read and heard of it."
at is very wonderful, is J. it not?"
mo more so than a great many Others
have come to my notice as having been
cured by the same means"
You believe then tina Bright's disease
can be cured?"
81 know it can. / know it from my own
the experience of thousands OF promi-
nent persons who were given up to die by
both their physicians and friends"
You speak OF your ownexperience; what
it?'
"a fearful one. 1 had felt languid and
untitled for business for years. But 1 did
lot know what allied me. When, however,
found it was kidney difficulty 1 thought
here was little hope and SO did the doc
;ors. / nave since learned that one of the
