EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
The Com M OtiOn Caused by
the sta tement Ola PHI NSf N /.

An unusual article from the Rochester y. Y.
Democrat and Chronicle, was republished in
this paper and was subject of much con-
versation, both in professional circles and on
the street. Apparently it cansed even 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
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 hav9 been so numerous that further
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 sur
prised that the public think it marvellous.
1t was marvellous"
GLOW in the world did you, a physician,
come to be brought so low?''
"By neglectingthe first and most simple
symptoms. did not think was sick 1t
is true | had frequent headaches; felt tired
most OF the time; could eat nothing one day
and was ravenous the next; felt dull indefi-
mite pains and my stomache was out of or
der, but did not think it meant anything
serious"
''But have these Common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took so firm 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 re-
alize what ails tnem and L am sorry to say
that too few physicians do either"
"That is strange statement Doctor"
'But it is true one. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms instead
of diseases for wears and it is high time it
ceased. We doctors have been clipping off
the twigs when We should strike at the root
The symptoms have just mentioned or any
unusual action or irritation of the water

disease even more than cough announces
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 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 of the deaths
which occur arise from Bright's disease is it

'PreciseIv Thousands of so-called diseas-
es are torturing people today, when it is

the healthiest man in Rochester today. He

way by which it can be escaped"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of
the Doctors words, the reporter babe him

establishment on Exchange street. At first
Mr.. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but
learning that the information desired was
about the alarming increase of Bright's dis
ease, his manner changed instantly and he
spoke very earnestly;
at is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully and we find by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its growth
has been $50 per cent Look at the promi-
nent men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner,
Chase Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven,

greater growth than that of any other known
