THE CONNECTION CAUSED ny THE STATEMENT or
PHYSICIAN
| An unusual article from the Rochester, New
| York, Democrat and Chronicle, was republished
| in this paper recently and has been subject of
| much conversation, both in professional circles
| and on the street Apparently II caused even
more commoton In Rochester, rs 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, few
| days since which was duly published, detailing
| his remarkable experience and rescue from what
seemed to be certain death 1t would be i'm
| possible to enumerate the personal enquiries
which have been made at our office as to the
| validity Of the article, but they have been so
numerous that further investigation of the sub
| iect was deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view representative of this
| paper called on DIR. Henion, at his residence
| st. Paul street, when the following interview oc
| cured 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 as you can
| sustain ?"
"Every one of them and many additional ones

| did and then return and am not surprised that
the public think it marvellous. 1t was mar
velous."

do with the fearful Brights disease which took so

| "Anything Why, they are the sure ndca-
tons OF the first stages of that dreadful malady.
| The fact is, few people know or realize what ais
them and am sorry to say that too few physi-
clans do either"
"That is a 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 doc

should strike at the root. The symptoms have

Bright disease even more than cough announces

the cough, but try to help the lungs. We should
not waste our time trying to relieve the head
ache, stomach, pains about the body. or other
| symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the
source Of most Of these ailments"
| "This, then, is what you meant when you
| said that more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it Doctor ~

time caused by paralysis, apoplexy heart dis

Bright's disease.
