Excitement at Rochester.

An nnueuil art:>> fr in the Rochester. N.Y.. Democrat anj Chr •aide, was published in ibis paper i.tvi.li.v. and lias been the subject of much co-.w.-ation b.,th in professional circles and on lb - sine?. Appa lenity it caused mote commotion in le.cl.es ter. as the fallowing fiom the same p.per shows ;

Mr J. B. Henum, who is well known not only in Rochester. Lul m r.eo t i uivpart of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days since which was duly pobiished, detailing hie remarkable experience and ttscue from what seemed to he certain death. It woii.n i-e impossible to •numerate the per-,, <1 inquiries winch have been made at our .. rli e a- to toe validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the suiqect was deemed an editorial necessity.

With this end in view, a representative of thii paper called on Dr Henum, at bis residence ou Andrews Street, when the following interview occurred ; “ That article of yours. Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition y< u were in, and the way yon were rescued such as you can ■attain "

“ Every one of them and many additional ones. Few people ever get so neat the grave as I did and then r> turn, and 1 am not carphsed that the public think it marvellous It waa marvellous.''

“ How in the world did you. a physician, come to be brought so low.

"By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It waa true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time ; could cat nothing one day and was ravenous,the next ; frit dull indefinite pains and my stomach was out of order, bat I dri not tbiuk it meant anything serious.”

“ But have these common ailments anything to do with the fearful Bright's disease which took so firms bold on you." “ Anything ? Why, they are the sure indications of the first stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is, few people know or realise 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 one. The medical profeaaioos have beeu treating symptoms instead of diaetae (or years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping oh 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 our stomach, headache, pains about the body, or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidnevs. the scarce of most of these ailments ”

" Ibis, then, is what you meant when you said that mere than one half the deaths which ocear arise from Bright's disease, is it doctor ’ " “ Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are torturing people t<> dav. when in reality it is Bright's disease In some one of its many forms. It is a Hydrabeaded men •ter, and the slightest symptoms should •trike terror to every. o'. e who ha- them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths, which physicians declared at the tunc were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, hear: disease, pneumonia, malaria hj ver and other common complaints, whiou I see mov weie caused by Br.ght's disease " And did all these cases have simple symptoms at tirst " '' " Kvery one of them, an 1 might have been cured as I was hv the timely u«c of the same remedy —Warner a Safe Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter, and think 1 am helping ethers to see the facts and their p jS-io e danger also. Why. there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go an.l see Mr W sreer him«elf. lie was sick the same as I. and is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He his made a study of this subject, and can give you more facts than I can. Go, too, and see Dr I.nttimeire, the chemist, at the fniver-ilv If y a war* f.cti there are any ijumtitv of them. <•(; wu.g the alarming increase of Bright's ui-e-s*, its s.nu It and deceptive symptoms, and that the re is but one war by which it can he escape i."

Kullv satisfied of the truth and force of the I octet’s words, tin reporter hade him good Jay and called on Mr Warner at hia establishment. At fir.-t Mr Warner was inclined to be reticent, hut learning that the information dei-ir-wl was shout the alarming increase of Brights disease, his manner changed instantly, and he spoke aery earnest 1» :

Ii is true that Bright’s disease has increased wonderfully, and we find, bv reliable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried oil: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bi-bop, Haven, and others. This is terrible, and shews a greater growth than that of any other known complaint. It should be plain to every one that something must be done to check tins increase or there is no knowing where it may end."

“ Do you think many people are atflicted with it to-day who do not realise it, Mr Warner ? ” “ Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has ju.-i come to my notice. A prominent profe.-.-ur ■n a New Orleans medical college was bclur- j mg before his elsaaon the subject of Bright s , disease. He bad various duels under micro- I ecopu; analysis, and was showing tho studenls what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to show the contrast betwein healthy and unhealthy timds, he lad provided a vial, the contents of which were drawn from his owa person. • And now, gentlemen.' lie said, • as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will i-how you bow it appears in a j state of perfect health,' and ho submitted his j own fluid to the usual te«t. As he watch- d the results bis countenance suddenly changed —his Color and command both left 1 im. and in a trembling voice he sail ; ‘ Gentlemen I have nude a panful discovery : I have Bright s di-ea-e of the kidneys,' and in le-s than a tear he w„s deail.” •' You believe that it has no symptoms i f its own and is frequently unknown even by the person who is afflicted with it.” " It has no symptoms of its own and veiy often none at all. Usually no two p.t. ; .e have tb* same symptoms, and frequently death is the (irst symptom. Tho slightest indications of any kidney difficulty shou.d be enough to rtiike terror t-> any ■ ue. I know whit 1 >m talking about for 1 have been througu all the otiges "I kidney di-ease.” ' You know of Dr Heui n's case ’ '• Ve-, I nave both read and beard i f it " ' It is very wonderful, is it not .' ” “A verv piumment case. 1 ut no more so luau a great many i 1 litre teat hj ive c me to my notice as bavi, g been cured by tLe nme means." ” You believe then that Bright’s disease can le cured ’ ’ " I know i: can " I know it from the exp aticm-e ■ . hundred# of prominent person# wtio w- ie given up to die by both tin r physicians and fnends ” “ You speak of y L ur own experience, what •u it." “ A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfilled for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me When, however, I found it vaa kidney difficulty 1 thought there *ha little hope, and so did the doctors. I hare emce learned tbet one of the physicians °f tbia city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one dey, saying ; ‘ There goes a ®an who will be dead within a year.’ I heheve hia words would have proved true if I bad not fortunately tenured and used the temtdy now known as Warner'a Safe Care.” “ Aad tbia caused you to raannfactore it." “ No, it caused me to investigate, and I determined as a doty I owed humanity and the anflering, to bring it within their reach, and now it ie known in every part ol America, ie aotd in every drug store, aod has become a household necessity.' The reporter left Hr Warner, much imptMMd with the eomeetneee and nnoerit j of

liis statements, and next paid a visit to Dr tv A. Laumore at bis residence on Diince •''ireet. Dr Latimure. altlv ngh l.i.sih n.ir, w . : ‘■i( on seme mEtteis’counico d wio, tin- vt.ile '■ ~,|r d of Health,; of which be is one of the analysts, courteously answeted Hie questions tint were propounded him :

Did you make a cbem-i il nudisis of the case of Mr H. H. Warner some three tears 0 i. Doctor ’ “ V* s sir." Vi hat did this auahsis show you ? " Toe presence of albumen and tube casts in gnat abundance.”

" what did the symptoms indicate ? ” A seii' us disease of the kidneys.” Did you think Mr Warner could recover ’ ”

” No, sir. I did not think it possible. It was seldom, indeed, that, so pronounced a iv.-e had, up to that time, ever been cured.”

'• Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him ? ”

" des, I have chemically analyzed it, and upon critical examination, find it entirely free from any poisonous or any deleterious substances. - '

We publish the foregoing statements in uew of the commotion winch the publicity of Dr Henion's article has caused, and to meet '.he protestations which hate been made. 1 ne standing of Dr Heuion, Mr Warner, and Dr Latimorc in the community is beyond question, and the statements they make ciiijdol for a moment be doubted. They conclusively show that Bright's disease of the kidneys is oue of the most deceptive and oiiugerous all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, alarmingly increasing, and that it can be cured.
