EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
widespread Commotion Caused by that
Remarkable Statement ola Physician.

", from the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat, Gre
ated q great deal of comment here as it
elsewhere. Apparently it caused even
more commotion in Rochester, as the follow
nj from tho same paper shows:
DR.. 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,
a few days ago which was duly published, de-
failing his remarkable experience and rescue
from what seemed to be certain death. It
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 residence on
Andrews street, when the following interview
occurred: "That article of yours, Doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. II the statements
about the terrible condition you were in, and
The way you were rescued such as you can
Sustaln:"
"Every one Of them and many additional
ones. l was brought 80 low by noglectlng the
first and most simple symptoms. I did not
think was sick. 1t is true l had frequent
headaches: felt tired most of the time; could
eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next;
felt dull pains and my stomach was out OF Or
der, but l did not think it meant anything Sc
rious, The medical profession have been
treating symptoms instead of diseases for
years. and it is high time it ceased. The
symptoms l have just mentioned OF any unus-
ual action or irritation of tho water channels

than q cough announces the coming Of con-
sumption. We do not treat the cough, but try
to help the lungs. We should not waste oul
time trying to relieve the headache, pains about
the body or other symptoms, but go directly
to the kidneys, the source of most of these all
ments.
This, then, is what you meant when you
said that more than one-half the deaths which
occur arise from Brights disease, is it Doctor?
Precisely. Thousands of diseases are tor
uring people to-day, which in reality arc
nright's disease in some of its many forms.
1t is q hydraheaded monster, and the slightest
symptoms should strike terror to every one
who has them. can 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 I see now
were caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple SYM
ptons at tirst?"
"Every one of them, and might have been
cured as | WAS by the timely use Of the same

others to see the facts and their possible dan
ger also"
Mr.. Warner was visited at his establishment
Oh North st. Paul street. AT first he was in
clined to be r%eticcnt, but learning that the IN
formation des!lel was about Bright's disease,
his manner changed instantly and he spoke
very earnestly:
'4tis true that Bright's disease hadincreased
wonderfully, and We lind, by reliable statistics,
that from 10 to 80, its growth was over $50 per
cent. Look at tho prominent men it has carried
off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter,
Bishop Haven, Foiger, Colfax and others. Near.
ly every week the papers record the death of
some prominent man from this scourge. Ro-
Gently, however, the increase has been checked
and | attribute this to the general uss of my rom
edy."
'Do you think many people are afflicted with
it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.. Warner"
"a prominent professor in a New Orleans Med.
ical college was l%ccturing before his class on the
subject OF Hright's disease. He had various flu
ids under microscopic analysis and was showing
the students what the Indications of this terri
bio malady were. 'And now, gentlemen,
