An unusual article from She Rochester. N. Y,
Democrat and Ohronic,c was published in this
paper recently and has been subject OF much
conversation, both in professional circles and
on the street. Apparently it caused oven moro
commotion 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 article to this paper, few
days since which was duly published, detailing
his remarkable experience and rescue from
impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our office "a 10 the
validity Of the article, but they have been 80
numerous that further investigation Of the
subject was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end In view q Representatives OF this
paper cailod on DR.. Henion, at his residence on
st. Paul street, when the following interview
occurred: "That article Of yours, Doctor, has
created quite whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in, and
the way You were rescued such a. you can sus-
tain?"
Every one Of them and many additional
ones: Few people ever get 80 near the grave as
did and then return, and am not surprised

"That Is o strange statement, Doctor"
"But it II true one. The medical profession
have been treating symptoms instead Of dis
eases for years, and 1t is high time it ceased.

Fully satisfied Of the truth and fUrce Of the
DOCTORS words, the reporter bade him good
day and called on Hr. Warner at his establish
ment on ExcbSnge street. At first Mr.. Warner
was lnchled to be reticent, but learning that
Tue Information desired was about the alarming
I crease Of Brights disease, his manner changed
instantly and he spoke very earnestly.
1T is true that Bright's disease has increased
wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics.
that in the past ten years its growth has been
200 per cent. Look at the prominent men It has
carried of /: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson,
Carpenter, Bishop, Haven and others This is
terrible and shows greater growth than chat

"Do you think many people are afflicted with

Hundreds or Thousands. have striking
example OF this truth which has Just come to
my notice. A prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing before his
class on the subject Of Bright's disease. He
NAG various hu1ds under microscopic analysis
and was showing tho students what the indica-
lions OF this terrible malady were. In order to
draw ,!, the contrast between healthy and un-
healthy fluids he had provided vial the con-
tents Of which were drawn from his own per-
son. And now, gentlemen,' he said, as we
have seen the unhealthy indications, will show

"You believe then that It has no symptoms

The person who il afflicted with 2"
"It has no symptoms Of les own and very
often mono at all. Usually no two people have
the same symptoms, and frequently death is
the first symptom. The slightest indications of
any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike
terror to any one. I know what am talking
about for have been through all the stages Of
kidney disease."
"You know Of Dr. Henon's case2"
Yes, have both road and heard Of it,"

'A very prominent case, but no moro 90 than

"You believe then that Bright's disease can
