EXCITEMENT In ROCHESTER.
Tie Cemnotlon Caused by the Statement
Of Physician.

Chronicle, was republished in this
paper and was a subject of much con
versation both in professional circles
and on the street. Apparently it
caused even more commotion in
Rochester, as the follow ng from the
same paper shows:
DR.. J. 8. Henion, who is well
known not only in Rochester but i'll
nearly every part of America, sent
an extended anti lie 10 this paper, a
few days since which was duly pub
lished, detailing his remarkable ex-
perience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be i'm
possible to enumerate tie personal
enquiries which have been made at
our office as to the validity of the
article, but they have been so mum,
erous that further investigation of
the subject was deemed all editorial
necessity.
With this end in view a replesen-
ta.ive of the paper called on DR..
Hcnion at bis residence on St. Pau!
street, when the following interview
occurred: THAT article OF yours,
Doctor, has created quite a whirl
wind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued such as
you can sustain 2"
"Every one of them and many
additional ones. Few people ever
get SO near the grave as I did aud
then return, and l am not surprised
that the public think it marvellous.
1t was marvellous"
Glow in the world did you,
physician, come to be brought SO
low %
''Ey neglecting the first and most
simple symptoms. did not think
was sick. 1t is true I had frequen,
headaches; felt tired most of the
time; could cat nothing one day and
was ravenoas the next; felt dull in
definite pains and my stomach was
out oford-r, but did not think it
meant anything serious"
"But have these common ailments
to do with the fearful
Bright's disease which took SO firm
a hold on you?"
"Anything? Why, they are the
sure Indications of the first stages Of
that dreadful malady. The fact is.
few people know or realize what ail>
them, and am sorry. to say that
too few physicians do either"
THAT is strange statement,
Doctor"
"But it is true one. The med
ical profession have been treating
symptoms instead of diseases for
Years, and it is high time it ceased.
We doctors have been clipping off
The rigs when we should strike at
The root. The symptoms have just
or any unusual action or
irritation of the water channels in

ease even more than cough announ
;es 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 dl |
rectly to the kidneys, the source Of
most of these ailments"
'This, then, is what you meant
when you said that mores than one
lalf the deaths which occur arise |
rom Bfight's'disease, is it Doctor ?"
Precisely. Thousands OF so |
'alled diseases are torturing people
o-day, when in reality it is Btight's
lisease in some one of its many
orms. 1t is Hydra-headed mons
er, and the slightest symptoms
hould strike terror to everyone

ecall hundreds of deaths which ply
icians declared at the time were
aused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart
isease, pneumonia, malarial fever
nd other common complaints which
see now were caused by Bright's
isease."
sand did all these cases have

Everyone of them, and might
