Toronto, Ont., Oct. 1, 1883. /O/^^^ ^ /Qf A REMARKABLE STATEMENT. Howa Physician of Creat Prominence was Rescued from Deatli. [The foUowinf? voluntary and romnrkablo statement was published In the Rochester (N. YJ. DflTTiocrat and Chronicle, by the Doctor named, in accordance with a vow mado when nigh unto death; and man'elous as it seems. It la only one of many hundred such received by U. H. Warner & Co.] To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle. Siu: My motives for the publication of the most unusual statements which follow are, first; gratitude for the fact that 1 have been saved from a most horrible death, and, secondly, a de- sire to warn all who read tbis statement against some of the most deceptive influences by which they have ever been surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thousands of people are within a foot of the grave, and they do not know it. To tell how I was caught away from Just thia posi- tion and to warn others against nearlng it. are my objects in this communication. On the Ist day of June, l&Sl, I lay at my resi- dence in this city, surrounded by my friends and vraiUng for death, Heavca only kuuws the agony I then endured, for words can never de- scribe it. And yet, if a few years previous any one had told mo that I was to be brought 60 low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 200 pounds, and hardly knew in my own experience what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull and indefinite pains m various parts of the body, and do not understand It. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and en- tirely without appetite the next. This was Just the way I felt when the relentless malady which Lad f«9tcucd Itself upon mo first began. Still I Pi tbonglit It was nothing ; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at times neuralffio pain in my head, but us It would come one day and bo (rone the next, I paid but little attention to it, .My stomach was out of order however and my food often failed to dle'est, causing at times great incon venienoe. Yet J had no idea, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious or that a tnonstrous dis- ease was becoming flxed upon me. Candidly I thought I was suffering from malaria and so doctored myself accordingly. But 1 got no better. I nejct noticed a peculiar color and odor about the urine I was pasaing— also that there were large qtiantltics one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum ap- peared upon the surface, and a sediment settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize any danger, for indeed, seeing these symptoms con- tinually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by tho fact that I had no pain In the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cuniiot understand. There Is'H'terrible future for all physical neg- lect, and Impending danger usually brings a person to his senses even though it may then bo too late. I reatlzc'l at last my critical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, Oh I bow hard I tried 1 1 consulted the best medical kill In the laud. I visited all the prominent n. nerol springs In Americo, and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my mal- ady. One said I was troubled with spinal Irrita- tion; another nervous prostraticm ; another malaria;; another dyspepsia; another heart disease; another general debility ;\ another congestion of th" brwe of the bruin; and so on through a long list of common disoises, the symptoms of ail of which I resiity had. In this way several years passed, during all of which time I was steadily growingworse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms latflrstexperienced weredevcloped Into terrible constant disorders. 5Iy weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by Injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncon- trollable. In my agony I frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the carpet and prayed for death. Morphine hud little or no effect m deadening the pain. For six days and nights 1 had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. Mv urine was fllied with tube casts and albumen* ^ waa troubled with JJright's disease of the lucincys in its hist stages. While suffering thus, I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Isi-oel Foote, D. D., roccor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, of this city. 1 ffelt that It was our last interview, but in the course of our conversation he mentioned a remedy concerning which I had heard much, but had never used any of it. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many y pmarkable euros wbigij had tH>me under ]m obEonratlon by means of thia remedy, iind urged mo to try It. ^As a practicing pbygldan and a graduate of the schools, 1 cherished the prejudloo both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular obanuela being the least beneficial. 8o soUcitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that 1 finally promised that I would waive my prejudice and try tho remedy be so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June and tooli It according to diroctionfii At first J t sickened me; but this, I wa« Informed, waa a good sign for one in my debilitated ccndition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I waa able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a change for tho better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I exi)erienctid less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this condition that, upoa what I had believed a few days before waa my dying bed, 1 vowed. In the preAcnce of my family and friends should I recover, 1 would both publicly and privately make known thia remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity. I also de- termined that I would give a course of lectures In the Corinthian Academy of Music In this city, stating in full tho symptoms and almost hope- lessness of my disease and the remarkable moons by which I bad been saved. My Improvement waa constant from that time and in less than three months I had gained tventy-«li pounds in aesh, became entirely free from pain, and I be- lieve I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner's 8a ra Cure and Sajb Illls, tho rem- edies which I used Since my recovery I have thoroughly rein- vestigated the subject of kidney dlfTloulties and Brlght's disease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state delll)erately, ar 1 as a physician, that I believe mors than one- UALF THK DEATHS WHICH OCCCR IN AMERICA ARK CACPED BY CRIQUT'S DISEASE OF THE KID- NEVS. This may sound like a rush statement, but 1 am prepared to fully verify it. Brlght's rtleease has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed. It oft«n develops without any pain whatever In the kidneys or their vicinity), bui. has the symptoms of every known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily whose burials are authorized by the physician's certificate assigning tho death to "Heart Disease,'* "Apoplexy," "Paralysis," " Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia," and other com- mon complaints when in reality it is Brlght's disease of tho kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. Itstealsmto the system like a thief; manifests itself by tho commonest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fata! Y3nth:e families, inheriting it from thfir ancestors have died, and yet ^one of tho number knew or realiaed the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of cummou symptoms It oft^n ShQ^^s DODO whatever, but brlnga der a few days since, which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impos- sible to enumerate the personal entiuiries which have been maue at this offlce as to the validity of the orticle, but they wore so numerous that furtht;r investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on I>r. Henion, at his residence, on North St. Paul Street, when the following inter- view occurred : " That article of yours, doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Arc the statements about the ter- rible condition you were In and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain?" " Every one of them and miBliy additional ones. Few 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 physician, come to ba brought so low?" "By neglecting the first and most 8impl<> 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 raven- ouj the next; felt dull and indefinite pains, and my stomach was out of order, but ' did not think it meant anything serious." , \ " But have these common ailmeRts anything to do with the fearful Brighfc'a disease which took so firm a hold on you ?" " Anything I Why they are sure indications of the first stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is, f e\/ people know 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 medit^nl profession have ttccn treating symptoms instt ,d of diseases for years and it is high time it ceased. We doc- tors have been clipping off the twigs when we ibould etriiib at the root. The igymptoms wa have just mentioned, or any unnsual action t» inaction of the water channels, indicate the ap- proach of Brlghfs 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 tryif ,g 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 that more than one-half of the deaths which occur arise from Brlghfs disease, is it. Doctor?" " Precisely. Thousands of secondary diseases are torturing the people to-day, which in reality are Bright's disease in some one 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 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 ail these cases have simple symptoms at first?" I "Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy— Warner's Safk Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in thio matter and I think I am helping others to see the facta and their possible danger also. Why there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know nore about it go and see Mr. Warner him- self. He was sick the same as I, and he is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made a study of this subject and can give you more facts than I can. Go too and see Doctor Latti- more, the chemist. If you want facts therp ore any quantity of them showing the alarming in- crease of Bright's disease, its simpleand deceptive symptoms, and that 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 1i8»flhanire utraa t- At flmt Mi- WSTBSg '*°«S ■^ Inclined to !)o reticent, but lorvrnlng that tho Information wanted was about tho alarming tncrrtiso of Drlght's disoaao, his mnnncr chanRi-d instantly and he spoko very carnostly. " It is true that Drl^ht's dlscaflo has increasTfl wonderfidly, and we Hnd, by reliable statlHtles, that in tiio iiust ten years Ita growth has been 250 l)or cent. Look at tho prominent men It has carried olT. Everett, Sunuior, Chase, Wilson, C'urpcntor,,Ilishop Haven and others. This is terrible, ana shows a greater growth than that of any other known eoniphilnt. It must bo plain to every one that somcthin? must bo dono to check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end." "Do you think many people aro nlHicted with It to-day who do not i-eallzo it, Mr. Warner?" "Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent professor in a Now Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on tho subject of Brighfa disease. Ho had various fluids under microscopio analysia and was show- ing tho students what tho indications of this ter- rible malady were. In order to draw tho contrast between healthy and unhealthy fluids ho bad provided a vial, tho contents of which came from his own person. 'And, now, gentlemen,' he Kiid, 'as wo havo soon the unhealthy indications, I will show you how itappcars in a state of perfect health,' and he submitted his own lluid to the usual test. As he watched tho results his counte- nance suddenly changed— his color and eonunand both left him, and in a trembling voice ho said : 'Gentlemen, I havo made a painful discovery, I havo Ilright's disease of tho kidneys 1' And in less than u year ho was dead." " You believe then that It has no symptoms of Its own and is frequently unknown oven by the person who is afflicted with it?" " It has no symptoms of its own, and very often none at all. Usually no two people \mve tho same warnings of ita approach, and frequently death is tho only warning. Tho slightest indica- tions of any kidney difficulty sho ild be enough to strike terror to any one. I know what I am talking about for I have been through all the Btages 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 otiiers that have come to my notice, as having been cured by the same means." " You believe then that Bright's disease can bo cured?" " I kndw it can. I know it f roia tho experience of hundreds of prominent persons who were giv%n up to die by both their physicians and friends." ^ » "Tou gpeak of your own ezpeiienoet wtuU WMlt?" "A fearful one. I had folt Inngiiid aad unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed mo. When however I found It was kidney diffloulty, I thought there was little hope and so did tho doctors. I havo since learned thot one of tho physicians of this city, pointed me out to a gentleman on tho street ono day saying ; There goes a man wlio will bo dead within a year.' I believo his words would have proved true If 1 bad not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cure." , "And this caused you to manufacture it." " No, it caused mo to investigate. I wetl to tho principal cities and saw the physicians pro- scribing and using It in cases which nothing else would cure. I therefore determined as a duty I owed humanity and the suffering, to bring it , within their reach, and now it Hi known in every part of America and is sold In every drug store, and has become a household necessity." Tho reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with tho .arncstness and sincerity of his states mcnts, and next paid a visit to S. A. Lattlmore, at his residence on Trince street. Dr. Lattlmore, although busy upon some matters connected with tho Stato Board of Health, of which he is tlio food and medicino analyst, courteously answered the questions that were propounded to him. " Did you mako a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner, some three years ago, Doctor ?" •' Yes. sir." ' > " What did this analysis show you ?" " The presence of albumen and tube casta In great abundance." " ^^'^lat dia the ssTnptoms indicate?" " A serious disease of tho kidneys." " Did you thinll^Mr. Warner could recover?" "No, sir. I di(f not think it possible. It was seldom indeed that so pronounced a case had up to tliat time ever been cured." "Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him ?" "Yes, I have chemically analyzed it and upon crifical examination find it entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances." AVe publish tlie foregoing statements In view of tho commotion which the publicity of Dr. Henion's article has caused, and to meet tho protestations which have been made. The stand- ing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Prof. Lattl- more in the community is beyond question, and the statements they mako cannot for a moment bo doubted. They conclusively show that Bright's disease of tho kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, olai'mingly increasing, but that it can be cured. - .- fi^DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT UNTIL TOO LATE..Ja
