THE FLOWER CITY FURORE.
The COmmOtiOn Caused by the State
ment of a Physician.

Y, Democrat and Chronicle, was published
in this paper recently and has been the SUBJ
ject of much conversation in both profess
sional circles and on the street. Apparently
it caused more commotion in Rochester, as
the following from the same paper shows:
DIR. j. B. Henion, who is well know 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 exper-
ience 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 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 follow
ing interview occurred:
That article, of yours, Doctor, has cre-
ated quite a whiriwind. Are the statements
about the condition you were in, and the
way you were rescued such as you can sus-
tain?'
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 mar
velous. 1t was marvellous"
.'How in the world, did you, physician,
come to be brought so low?'
''By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. l did not thing 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 indeh-
mite pains and my stomach was out of order,
but did not think it meant any thing seri-
ous."
'But have these common ailments any
thing to dc with the fearful Bright's disease
which took so firm hold on your"
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 | am sorry to say
that few physicians do either"
THAT is a strange statement, Doctor"
"But it is true one. The medical pro-
fessioD 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.
The symptoms have just mentioned or any
unusual actions or irritation of the water
channels indicate the approach of Bright's
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 di-
rectly to the kidneys, the source of most Of
these ailments"

Precisely. Thousands Of so-called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one Of
its many terms. 1t is Hydra headed mon-
ster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one VITO has them. |
eau look back and recall hundreds OF deaths
which physicians declared at the time were
caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other common
complaints which see now were caused by
Bright's disease"

symptoms at firsti"

there are no end of truths bearing on this
