EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The COmmotion Caused bv the Staten en-,
of a Physician.

VI sICtdns
An unusual article from the Rochester.
N. z, Democrat and Chronicle, was re-
Gently published in this paper and was
subject of much comment. That article
caused even more commotion in Rochester,
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, a few days since which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be impossi-
BILE 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 investiga-
ton of the subject was deemed necessary.
With this end In view representa-
tive of this paper called on DR.. Henion, at
his residence, when The following inter
view occurred: THAT article of yours,
Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind.
Are the statements about the terrible con-
dltlon you were in, and the way you were
rescued such as you could suStain?'
Every one of them and many addition
al ones. was brought so low by neglect
ing the first and most simple SYM
toms. | did not think | was sick. It 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 seri-
Gus.
The medical profession has been treat
ing symptoms instead of diseases for
years, and it is high time it ceased. The
symptoms | have just mentioned or any
unusual action Or irrita alton of the water
channels indicate the approach of kidney
disease more than cough announces the
coming of consum ption. 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 their all
ments.
This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur are from Briehts dis
ease. is it, Doctor?"
: Precisely. Thousands of diseases are
itorturing the people today, which in reali-
ty are Bright's disease in some of its many
forms. 1t is hydra headed monster, and
the slightest symptoms should strike ter
ror 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, pneumonia, malarial fever and
other common complaints which see now
were caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at frst?"
Every one of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use Of
the same remedy. | am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this mat
ter, and think [ am bel ping others to see
the facts and their possible danger Also"
Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his es-
tablishmenr on N. St. Paul street, spoke
very earnestly:
1T is true that Bright's disease had IN
creased wonderfully, and we find, by relia-
BILE 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 APP
opleXy, 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 prom
inent 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, MIR.
Warner?"
"A prominent professor in New
Orleans medical college was lecturine be-
fore 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 ter
rible malady were. And now, gentle
men, he said,' as we have seen
the unhealthy indications, will show you
how itappears in state of perfect-health,
and he submitted his own fluid to the
Usual test. As he watched the results his
:ountenance suddenly changed-hls color
and command both left him, and in a
trembling voice he said: Gentlemen,
have made painful discovery; | have
Bright's disease of the Kidneys and in
less than 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

''lt is very wonderful is it not?"
mo more so than a great many others
that have come to my notice as having
ben cured by the same means.
You believe then that Bright's disease

own and the experience of thou> ands OF
prnmiI ent 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 how
ever, | found it YVES kidney difficulty |

within year" | believe his words would
lave proven true if | had not fortunately
used the remedy now known as Warmers
Safe Cure"
Did you make a chemical analysis of
he case of Mr.. H. Fl. Warner some three
years ago Doctor? was asked DR.. S. A. Lat
'imore one of theanaysts Of the State Board
Of Health"
Yes sir"
What did this analysis snow youp"
"A serious disease of the Kidneys
Did you think Mr.. Warner could re-

No sir | did not think it possible"
do you know any thing about the rem

II have chemically analysed it and find
it pure and harmless.
The standing of DR.. Henion, MIR. War

ty is beyond question, and the statements
