RE-INVESTIGATED.

A Remarkable Statement Fully Confirmed by Three Important Interviews. An Unusual article from the Rochester (N. t.) Democrat and C’Artmidc Was published in this paper recently ynd has been the subject of much conversation both in professional circles and-on the street Apparently it caused more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: Dt J. K Henion, who is weir 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 ramark able experience and rescue from what Seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible td enumerate the personal inquiries w hich 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 an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion at his residence, when the following inter view occur* red: • That article of yours, doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements aoout the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued, such as you can n stain Y" “Every one of them and many additional onea lew people ever get so near the grave as I did and then return, and I am not surprised that the public think it marvelous It was marvelous." -How in the world did you, a ohysieian, come to be brought so low*” “By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms I did not think I was sick. It is true 1 had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day arid was ravenous the next; felt dull, Indefinite pains, and my stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant anything serious.” “But have these common ailment) anything to do with the fearful Bright's disease which took so firm a hold on you?” “Anything? Why, they are the sure indications of the first stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is, few people know or realize what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too few physicians do either. ” “That is a strange statement, doctor.” “But it is a true ona The medical profession have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigs when we should strike at the root The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of Bright's disease even more than a 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, stomach, 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 more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright's disease, is it, doctor?” “Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are torturing people to-day, when in reality it is Bright's disease in some one of its many forma It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the tinfe were caused by paralysis, apop i xy, heart disease, pnenmonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which I now see 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 I was, by the timely use of the same remedy—Warner’s Safe Cure. lam getting my eyes thoroughly open in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and see Mr. Warner himself. He was kick, the same as I, and is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made a study of this subject and can give you m >re facts than I can. Go, too. and see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them, showing the alarming increase of Bright s disease, Its simple and deceptive symptoms, and there is but one way by which it can be escaped ” Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the doctor’s words, the reporter bade him good day and called on Mr. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent; but, learning that the information desired was about the a’arming increase of Bright’s disease, his manner changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly. “It is true that Bright’s disease has increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent Look at the grominent men it has carried off: Everett, umner, Chase, Wilson. Carpenter, Bishops Haven and Peck, and others. This is terrible, and shows a greater growth than that of any other known complaint It should be § lain to evei y one that something must be one to check this increase or there is no knowing vhere it may end” “Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner 9 ” “Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent Profesor in 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 indications of this terrible malady were In order to show the contrast between tea'thy and unhealthy fluidfe, he had provided a vial, the contents of which were drawn from his own , person. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a stale 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 a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright’s disease of the kidneys,’and in less than a year he was dead.” “You believe, then, that it has no symptoms of its own and is frequently unknown even bv the person who is afflicted with it?" “It has no symptoms of its own and very often none at all. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death is the first symptom. The slightest indication of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror - to any ona I know what I am talking about for I have been through all the stages of kidney disease.” “You know of Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yes, I have both read and heard of it ” “It is very wonderful, is it not?” “A very prominent case, but no more so than a 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?” “I know it can. I know it from the experience of hundreds of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends. ” ’ “You speak of your own experience, what was it ” “A sea f J one. I had felt languid and unfitted fqr business for years. But I did not know what ailed me When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty. I thought there was little hope, and so did the doctors I have since learned that one of the rhysicianp of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying, ‘there Foes a man who will be dead within a year. ’ believe his words would have proven true if I had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “And this caused you to manufacture it?" “No, it caused me to investigate. I went to the principal cities, saw physicians prescribing and using it, and I therefore determined, as a duty I owe humanity and the suffering, to bring it within their reach and now it is known in every part of America, is sold in every drug store and has become a household necess ty.” < ' The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with the earnestness and sincerity of his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. 8. A. Lattimore at his residence on Erince stieet. Dr. Lattimore, although busify engaged upon some matters connected fwrtn the State Board of Health, of whichrhe is one of the analysts, courteously answered the questions that were propounded him: “Did you make a Chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor?” “Yea, sir.” ? • “What did this analysis show yod?” “The presence of albumen and tube casts in great abundance. ” “And what did the symptoms indicate?” “A serious disease of the kidneys?’ “Did you think Mr. Warner cobld mcqyer?” “No, sir. I did not think it possible. It was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a case had, up to that time, ever been cured.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?” . “Yea, I have Chemically ana’yz&i it and upon critical examWUon. flwt itl entirely free from any poisonous, or'deleterious substances.* VYk % wmLyJSI We publish the fonegoina. utattments in view of the commotion which the publicity of Dr. HenionV article has eapsed and to meet the protestations which have been made. The standing ot Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question and the statements they make cannot tor a moment be doubted. They conclusively show that Bright’s disease of the kidneys is one of the moat decept ve and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exa■■ < . Spakta, Tenn.—Dr. W. p.
