THE FLOWER CITY FuRoRE.
The Commotion Caused by the Statement
m phyafriun-

it caused more 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 pa
per, few days since, which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be csrtain |
death. 1t would be impossible to enumerate |
the personal inquiries which have been made |
Mt our Office as TO the validity of tho article, |
but they have been sonumerous that further |
investigation of the subject was deemed an |
editorial necessity.
With this end in view q representative of |
this paper called on DR.. Henion, at his resi-
dence 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 as you can sustainW
every one of them and many additional
ones. Few people ever get SO near the grave

prised that the public think it marvellous 1t

"How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought SO iowP"
"By neglectng the first and most simple
symptoms. did not think l was sick. II
is true had frequent headaches; felt tired
most of the time, could eating nothing one
day and was ravenous the next; felt dull in
order, but 1 did not think it meant anything
serious.n
"But have these common ailments any
thing to do with tho fearful Brights disease
which took SO firm a hold on you?"
Anything? Why, they are the sure indi-
cations of the first stages of that dreadful
malady. The fact is few people know or
realize what ails'them, and | am sorry TO say
lhat too few physicians do either"
"1hat is a strange statement, doctor"
"But il is n true one. The medical pro

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 Brights disease, is it,
doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands of so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when il
reality it is Brights disease in some one OF

which physicians declared at the timo were

Eully satisfied of the truth and forco o.

good tcy and called on Mr.. Warner at hi
establishment on Exchange street. At frs
MIR. Warner was inclined to be reticent, bn
learning that the information desired wa
about The alarming increase of Bright
disease, his manner changed instantly anC
he spoke very earnestly:
:" 1t is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years il
growth has been 25O per cent. Lock at thl
prominent men it has carried off: Everett
| sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carrenter, Bishol
Haven and others. This is terrible, and
shows n greater growth than that of any
other known complaint. 1t should be plail
TO every one that something must be done I,
check this increase or there is no knowina
where it may end"
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with ii to-day who do not realize il, Mr.
Warner?"
Hundreds of thousands. 1 have
striking example of this truth which has jus
come to my notice. A prominent professo

Bright's disease. He had various fluids un

terrible malady were. In order to shoy
the contrast between healthy and I'M
healthy fluids, he md provided n via

"You believe, then, that it has no symp
