EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
widespread commotion Caused by that
! Remarkable Statement of a Physician.

I ated great deal of comment here as it
| has elsewhere. Apparently it caused even
more commotion in Rochester, as the follow
ing from the same paper shows:
| DR.. J. B. Henion, who is well-known moi
/ only in Rochester but in nearly every part of
| America, sent an extended article to this paper,
few days ago which was duly published, de-
failing his remarkable experience and rescue
\ from what seemed to be certain death. 1t
\ would be impossible to ennmerate 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
1 the subject was dot.eea ~ editorial necessity
i With this end in view representative of this
I paper called on DR.. Henion at his residence on
/ Andrews street, when the following interview
/ occurred; ''That article of yours, Doctor, has

Mr. Warner was visited at his establishment
on North St Paul street At first he was in
clined to be retcelt, but learning that the IN
formation desired was about Brights disease,
his manner changed instantly and he spoke
very earnestly;
'tItis true that Brights disease had increased
wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics,
that from 20 to 80 its growth was over 80 per
cent Look at the prominent men it has carried
off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter
Bishop Haven, Foger, Colfax and others. Near

EDO you think many people are afflctedwith
it to-day who do not realize it, SIR Warner"
"a prominent professor in q New Orleans Med
ical college was lecturing before his class on the
! subject of Brights disease He had various flu
1 ids under microscopic anal ysis and was showing
the students what the indications Of this terri
BILE nalady were. And now, gentlemen,

Z ''You know of DIR. Henons casey"
4 'sYes, 1 have both read and heard of it"
SIT is very wonderful, is it Dot:
''Nd more so than great many others that
have come to my notice as having been cured
by the same means"
''You believe then that Brights disease can
be cur ed"
II know it can known it from my own and
the experience of thousands Of prominent per-
sons who were given up to die by both their
physicians and friends
''You speak Of your own experience what
was it?"
"a fearful one 1 had felt languid and I'M
fitted for business for years. But did not
know what allied me. When, however, found
it was kidney difficulty l thought there was

DIR. s. A baltimore, although busly engaged
/ upon some matters connected with the State
Board of Health, of which he is one of the an
alysts courteously answered the questions that
were propoupded him:

eyes l have chemically analysed it and
find it pure and harmless.
We publish the foregoing statements in view
of the commotion which the publicity of DR.
Henion's article has caused and to meet the
protestations which have been made. The
doctor was cured four years ago and is well
and attending to his professional duties to-day
! The standing of DR.. Henion, Mr.. Warner and
4 DR. baltimore in the community is beyond ques-
| ton and the statement they make, cannot for
moment be doubted DR. Henion's experience
shows that Brights disease of the kidneys is
1 one of the most deceptive and dangerous OF
all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, and
/ that it can be cured.
