EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The COmmOtiOn Caused by the state
ment of a Physician.

An unusual article from the Rochester,
N. Y, Democrat and Chronicle, was repub-
lished in this paper and was a subject of
much conversation, both in professional cir
cles and on the street. Apparently it
caused more commotion in Rochester, as the
following from the same paper shows:
DR.. j. B. Henion, who is we'll 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 pub
lished, detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. 1t would be impossible 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 fur
ther investigation of the subject was deemed
an editorial necessity.
| With this end in view a representative of
this paper called on DIR. 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 sustain?"
every one of them, and many additional
ones. Few people ever get SO near the
grave as did and then return and am not
surprised that the public think it marvellous.
1t was marvellous"
"How in the world did you, physician,
come to be brought so low?"
''By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. / did not think was sick. 1t
is true, had frequent headaches; felt tired

and was ravenous the next; felt dull indefi-
mite palms, and my stomach was cut of Or
der, but did not think it meant anything
serious"
"But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm hold on you?"
1 Anything? Why, they are the sure in
dications of the first stages Of that dreadful
malady. The fact is, few people know or
realize what ails them, and l am sorry to
say that too few physicians do, either"
''That is strange statement, DOCTOR"
''But it is a true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms instead
of diseases for years, and it is high time it
ceased. We doctors have been clipping off
the twigs when we should strike at the root

We should not waste our time trying to re-

"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

Precisely Thousands of so-called dis

reality it is Bright's disease in some one Of
its many forms. 1t is Hydra headed mon

which physicians declared at the time were
caused BY paralysis, apoplexy. heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other CON-

"And did all these cases have simple esymp-

Of truths bearing on this subject. If you
want to know more about it 90 and see Mr..
Warner himself. He was sick the same as l,
and is the healthiest man in Rochester to-
day. He has made study of this subject
and can give you more facts than can. Go,

the University. If you want facts there are
lany quantity Of them showing the alarming
increase Of Bright's disease. its simple and
deceptive symptoms, and that there is but
one way by which it can be escaped"
4 Fully satisfied Of the truth and force Of
the dsctor's words, the reporter bade him
good day and called on Mr.. Warner at his
his establishment on Exchange street. At
iirst Mr.. Warner was inclined to be rcti-
cent, but learning that the information de-
sired was about the alarming increase of
Bright's disease, his manner changed in
stantly and he spoke very earnestly:
1T il true that Brights disease has in

bic statistics, that in the past ten years its
