EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.

The Cominot'on Caused by the Statement of a Physician. An unusual article from the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle was recently republished in this paper and was a subject of much comment. That the 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, tent an extended article to Jhis paper ay few days since, which was duly published, detailing bis remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have' been made at our office is to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous* that further investigation of the subjectwas deemed necessary, With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Hen ion at his sesidence. 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?” “Every.one of them and many additional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is 'truer I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat.nothing one day and was rayenous the next; felt dull pains and my stomach was out of border, but I did not think It meant anything serious. “The medical profession has been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time •it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach'of kidney disease 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, pains about the body or other 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 are torturing people to-day, which in reality are Bright’s disease in some of its many forms. 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 jvhich physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints, which I see uow 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. I am getting my' eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also.” Mr. Warner, who was visited at his estab- I lishment on North St. Paul street, spoke 1 very earnestly: “It is true that Bright’s disease had in- I creased wonderfully, and we find, by reli- i able statistics, that from ’7O to ’BO its growth j was over 250 per cent. Look at the prom- j inent men it has carried off, 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 increase has been checked and I attribute this to the general'use of my remedy.” “Do you think many people are afflicted I with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. I Warner?”

“A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his 1 class on the subject of Bright’s disease. He *■ had various fluids under microscopic analy- I sis and was showing the students what the I Indications of this terrible malady were. | ‘And now, gentlemen.’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show i you how.it appears in a state of perfect | health,* and he submitted his own fluid to I 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; 1 have Bright’s disease of the kidneys;’ and in less than a 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 case?” “Yes, I have both and heard of it.” “It is very wonderful, is it not?” “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 j can be cured?” “I know it can. I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of prom- I inent 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. I bad felt lanquid and unfitted for business for years. But I did • not know what ailed me. When, however, I 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 physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: ‘There goes a man who will be dead'within a year.’ I beliuve his words would have proved<true if I had not fortunately used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cure.” “Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years i agoz Doctor?” was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, j one of the analysts of the State Board of ' Health. “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?” “A serious disease of the kidneys,” “Did you think Mr. Warner could recover?” “No, sir, I did pot think it possible.” “Do you.know anything about the remedy which cured him?” .“I have chemically analyzed it, and find ' It pure and harmless.” The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner, I and Dr. Lattimore in the community is be- > ypnd question, and the statements they ■ make cannot 'for a moment be doubted. Dr. I Henion's experience shows that Bright’S ' 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.
