JUST AS BAD AS PAINTED.

Widespread Commotion Caused by the Terrible Confession of a Physician. The story published in these columns recently, from die Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, created a deal of comment here as it has elsewhere. Apparently it caused even more comnjotioa in Rochester, as the following from the Bame 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 ago, which was duly published, detailing his 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 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 Dr. Hemon at his residence on Andrews street, 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 true I 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 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 tryfio 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 or 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 ih reality are Bright’s disease in some of its many forma It is ft- 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 time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints, which I 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 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 establishment on North St Paul street, spoke very earnestly: “It is true that Bright’s disease had increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that from ’TO to ’SO, its growth was over 250 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 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 with it to-day who do not realize it?” - “A prominent professor 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. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy in dir cations I 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 changed—his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; 7have Bright’s disease of the kidneys.’ And in less than a year he was dead The slightest indication of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one.” “You know of Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yes, I have both read 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 can be cured?” “I know it can. I 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 was it?” “A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted for 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 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 believe his words would have proved true if I had not providentially used the remedy now known as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “Did you mako a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor?” was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, 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 not think it possible.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?” “I have chemically analyzed fit; and find it pure and harmless. Dr. Henion was cured five years ago, and is well and attending to his professional duties today, in this city. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner, and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question, and the statements they make cannot for a moment be doubted. Dr. Honion’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.
