BUTLER CITIZEN ivr < fe cj i &. TK K FJL® r .V lilt CI IT Ft* 808 E The CoiumotionCaused by list* ijUii'iueni of a Physician. An u:iusu »! article from th: Roches ter N. V., Democrat and Chronicle, was published in this paper recently and has been the subject of much con versation both in professional circles and ou the street. Apparently it caus ed more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: I)r. J. B. Henion, who is well known not only in Ilocl epter, but in nearlv every p&rt of America, sent no ox tended article to this paper, a few days since which was duly published, tie tailing his remarkable oxper.ence and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries \v ii.ch have been made at our offi e as to the validity of the article, but they hive beeu so uumerous that further investi gation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representa tive of this paper called on Dr. Uenioo, at bis residence on bt Paul street, when the following interview occuired. "That article of yours, Doctor, hus created quite a whirlwind Are t.;e 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 ad ditional ones. Few peop'e ever get so near the grave as 1 did and then return, aud I am not surprised that the public think it marvelous. It was marvelous. , "llow iu 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 is trac I had frequent headaches; felt tired moit of the time ; conld eat nothing one day and 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 ailments 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 ol that dreadful malady. The fact is, few people know or realize what ails them, and I aiu sorry to say that too few physicians do either " "That is a strange statement, Doctor." "But it is a true one. The medical profession have been treating symptom ■< instead of diseases for years, and it |is high time it ceased. We doctors have beeu clippiug off the twigs when we should strike at the root. The symp toms I have just mentioned or any un gual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of Bright's disease even more than a cough announces the coming of con sumption. 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 direct ly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments." "This, then, is whit 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 so-called diseases are torturing people to-day, when in reality it is Bright's diseaxe in some one of its many forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster, aud the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look baek 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 the cases have simple symptoms at first ?" "Every oue of them, and might have been cured as I was by tho timely use of the same remedy—Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Core. lam getting my eyes thoroughly opened iu this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger alsoi Why, there are no end of truths bearing.oa this subject. Ii you want to know more about it %'o and see Mr. Warner himself, lb: was sick the same as I, a:.d is tbe healthiest man in Rochester to-day. Ho has made a study of this subject and can give you more facts than 1 can. Go, too, and see Dr. Lattiiuore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them sho'.viog he alarming laj;*em of dis ease, its simple and deceptive symp toms, and that there is but oae way by which it can be escaped." Fully satisfied of the truth aad force of the Doator's words, the reporter bade him good day and called on Mr. War ner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was in clined to be retic-int. but learning that the information desired was about the alarming increase of Brigbt's disease, his manner changed instautly and ho spoke very earnestly: "It is true that Brjght'd disease has increased wonderfully, and we iiud, by reliable statistics, that in the pa-t leu years its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has car ried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Jfcshop Haveu and others. This is terrible, aud shows a greater growth than thuu that of any other known complaint. It sbvuld be plain to every one (hat something must be done to .check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end." "Do you think many people are afflicted with it to day who do not realize it, Mr Warner?" "Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this t'-uth which has just come to my notice. A prom inent professor in a New Orleans med ical college Was lecturing before his class on the subject of Urigbt's dip ease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis, an 1 was show ing the stndents. what the indications of this terrible malady were. In or der to show the contrast between healthy and unhealthy fluids, he had provided a via' the conteuis of which were drawn frooi his own person. 'And now, gentle ttttß,' lie saii, 'as we have seen the un calthy indications, I will show you h>w it :p; ears in a etate of perfeet h nlth,' nod he sub mitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his counte nanee sudden'y el au e 1 —his e >l. r and command both left hm, and in a tiemfcling voice he said: (Jcutlemeu, j I have made a paintul iii-c ivery; I huvo lJright'n urease of the kidneys.' and in less than ve*r ws dend. "Vou believe then that it La* no symptoms of its ohm and is frequently unknown even by the person who is a9l ijted with it V "It has no symptoms of its own and verv often none at all. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death is the first symp tom - The slightest indication of auy kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one. I know what I am talking about, for I have beeu through all the stages of kidney disease." "You know of Dr. Henion's case. "Yes I have both heard and read of it." "It is very wonderful, is it not ? "A very promiuent 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 dis ease can be cured?" "I know it can. I kuow it from the experience of hundreds of promi nent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends." "You speak of your own experience, what was it V "A fearful one. I had felt languid aud unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kid nev difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. 1 have since learned that one of the physic ians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, soy inir: 'there goes a man who will be dead within a year.' I believe his words would have proven true if I had not fortunately secured and used the remedv kujwn as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure." ' And this caused you to manufac ture it." "No it caused ."ue to investigate. I went to the principal cities, saw physicians prescribing aud using it and I therefore determined, as a duty I owed humanity and the suffering, to bring it within their reach aud now it is known in every part of America, is sold in every diug store and has be come a household necessity." The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with the earnestness and sincerity of his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. S. A. Lattimore at his residence ou Prince street Dr Lattimore, although busily engaged upon some matters connected with the State Board of Health, of which he is one of the analysts, courteously an swered the questions propounded him : "I>ld vou make a chemical analysis of the caso of Mr. 11. II Warner sonic throe years ago, Doctor ?" "Yes, sir.'' "What did this analysis show you?" "The presence of albumen and tube casts in great abundance." "And what did the symptom* indi cate "A serious disease of the kidneys." "Did you think Mr. Warner could recover ?" "No, sir. I did not think it possi ble. It was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a case had, up that time, ever been cured." "Do you know anything about the remedy which curtd him V' "Yes, I have chemically analyzed it and upon critical examination, find it entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances." We publish the foregoing state ments in view of the commotion which the publicity of Dr. Henioa's article has caused and to meet the protestations which have been made. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Laltirnore iu the com munity is beyond question and the statements they make cannot for a momentbe doubted. They conclusively show that Bright's disease of the kid neys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is ex ceedingly common, alarmingly in creasing and that it can be cured.

General lieavcr, ia his Philadelphia speech, declared that the voice of the majority must iule. That's a very line proposition, in the abstract but it is not always the case that the majori ty must, or ought to rule. Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley and other religious reformers were in a decided minority when they refused to be "ruled," and mankind has been the gainer because they did refuse. The patriots were io a hopeless minority in 1775 and 177'!, and the Tories were in a large majority, but the patriots were right, au'l the Tories wrong. The re sult of the revolt of the minority was a new nation, which is to-day the hope of the mis-governed millions of other hnds. Profane and religions history are full of records of great revolutions wrought by small, but intrepid, brave aud resolute minorities. But, if it were absolutely true that majorities should in all cases rule, there would have to be an exception made in the case of General Beaver. In the | first place, the little Stalwart faction in | this State is a very small minority of the Republican party of the Union. It insults the Republican party every time it claims to be the party or a majority of it. In the second place, i Genera!
