The CommotIon Caused by the Statement OF
Physician.
An unusual article from tie Rochester,
n. Y, Democrat and Chronicle, was re-
published in this paper and Was subject
of much conversation, both in professional
circles and on the street. Apparently it
caused even more commotion in Rochester,
as the following from the same 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 since which was duly
published, detailing his remarkable ex-
perieLce and rescue from what seemed TO
be certain ::eatb II would be impossible
to enumerate the personal enquiries which
have been made ct our Office as to the
validity of the article, bur they have been so

subject was deemed an editorial necessity.

this paper called on Dr.. Henion, at his re-
sidence 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

were rescued such as you can sustain? ?"

But have these common ailments any,

which took so finn a hold on you?'
"AnYthing Why, they are the su,e in

or realize what ails them, and I am sorry
to say that too few physicians do either"
"That is strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is true one. The medical pro-
