EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The CommotiOA Caused by the
Statement Of Physician

An unusual article from the
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. Appar-
entity it caused even more commo-
ton in Rochester, as the following
from the same paper shows:
DR.. J. B. Henion, who is we'll known
not only ia Rochester, but in nearly
every part Of America, sent an extended
article to this paper q few days since,
which was duly published, detailing his
remarkable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. It
would be impossible to enumerAte the
personal enquiries which have been made
at our Office as to the validity of the srti-
Gle. but they have been so numerous that
further investigation of the subject was
deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view q representative
of this paper called on DR.. Heai1n, at his
residence, on st. Paul street, when the
following interview occurred: That ar
ticle Of yours, Doctor, has created quite
a whirlwind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such as you
can sustain?"

tional ones. Few people ever get so near
the grave as did and then return, and l
am not surprised that the public thihk il

How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low?"
by neglecting the first and most
simple symptoms. l did not think was
sick. It is true had freq headaches;
felt tired most Of the Tina; could eat
nothing one day aud was ravenous the
next; felt dull indefinite pains and my
stomach was out Of order, but did not
think it meant anything serious"

disease which took SO firm 8 hold on

Anything? Why, they are the sure
indications of the first stages of that
dreadful malsdy. The fact is, fow people
know or realize what ails them, end am
sorry to say that too few physicians do
either"
THAT is strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is a true one The medical
profession have been treating symptoms
instead of diseases for years, and it is
high time it ceased. We doctors have
been clipping off the twigs when We
should strike at The root. The symptoms
l have just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation of the water channels
indicate the approach of Bright's disease
even more than 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 the headache, stomach, pains
about the body or other symptoms, but
go directly to the kidneys, the source Of
most of these ailments"
"This, thea, is what 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-callsd
diseases are torturing people to-day,
when in reality it is Bright's disease in
some one Of its many forms. 1t is q

symptoms should strike terror to every
one who has them. can look back and
recall hundreds Of deaths which physi-
clans declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneu

mon mplaints, which l see now were
caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these Cases have simple
