EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
widespread CommotiOn Caused by
that Remarkable Statement of II
PhysIcian.

Democrat, created deal of common
, here as it has elsewhere. Apparently
II caused even more commotion IL
Rochester, as the following from the
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 few days ago,
which was duly published, detailing his
remarkable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. 1t
would be impossible to enumerate the
personal inquiries which have been
made at this office rs to the validity of
the article, but they have been so nu-
merous that further investigation of the
subject was deemed an editorial neces-
sity.
With this end in view a representa-
tive of this paper called on DR.. Henion
at his residence on Andrews street,
when the following interview occurred:
THAT article of yours, Doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. Are the
statements about the terrible condition
you were in, and the way you were
rescued such as you can sustair?"
Every one of them and many addi-
tional ones. I was brought so low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think l was sick.
1t is true | had frequent headaches; felt
tired most of the time; could eat moth
ing one day and was ravenous the next;
felt dull pains and my stomach was out
of order, but did not think it meant
anything serious. The medical pro-
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, and it is
high time it ceased. The symptoms l
have Just mentioned or any unusual
action or irritation of the water chan
nels indicate the approach of
kidney disease more than a cough an
nounces 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, |
pains about the body or other symp-
toms but 90 directly to the kidneys, !
the source of most of these ailments"
''This, then, is what you meant when
gou said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Bright's
disease, is it, Doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands of diseases
are torturing people to-day, which in
reality are Bright's disease in some of
its many forms. 1t is hydra-headed
monster, and the slightest symp-
toms should strike terror to every ore
who has them. can look back and
recall hundreds of deaths which physi-
clans declared at the time were caused
by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other
common complaints which l see now
we're caused by Bright's disease"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at firstP"
Every one of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use of
he same remedy. l am getting my

Mr.. Warner was visited at his estab-
ishment on North st. Paul street. At
irst he was inclined to be reticent, but
earning that the information desired
vas about Bright's disease, his manner
hanged instantly and he spoke very
sit is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find, by
eliable statistics, that from 20 to 80,
is growth was over 250 per cent. Look

Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Car
