The CommotIon Caused by the Statement
of Physician.

An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
Y, Democrat aud Chronicle, was published in
this PAPER recently and has been the subject
Of much conversation both In professional
circles and on the street. Apparently it
caused more commotion in Rochester, as the
following from the same paper shows:
DR.. }. b. Henion who is well known not

America, sent an extended article to this pa
