ENCITEMESr IN ROCKIES TER
The Commotion Caused by the Statement
of "A Physician.

OF n Physician.
An unusual article from the Rochester.
New York, Democrat and Chronicle WAS re-
published in this paper yesterday and was
a subject OF much conversation in this city
during the day, both in professional circles
and on the street. Apparently it caused
even more CONJUNCTION in Rochester, as the
following from the same paper shows:
DIR. J. b. Henion, who is well known not
only in Rochester but in nearly every part
of America sent an extended aiticle to this
paper a few days since which was duly pub
liShed, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumcr-
ate the personal inquiries which have been
made at oar office as to the validity of the
article, but they have been so numerous
that further investigation of the subject was
deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view,a representative of
this paper called on Dr. Henion, nj his resi-
dence, on st. Paul street, when the follow
ing interview occurred That article of
yours, Doctor, has created quite whirl-
wind. Are the statements about the terri

But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm hold on YOU"
Anything? Why they are the sure IN

This, then, is what you meant when
