EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER,.
Widespread Commotion Caused by a
Remarkable Statement of
a Physician.

Democrat, created deal of comment
here as it has elsewhere. Apparently
it caused even more commotion in
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 ex>
tended article to this paper, a few days
ago which was duly published, detail
ing his remarkable experience and res
cue 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 investi-
cation of the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view representa-
tive of the paper called on DR.. Henion
at his residence on Andrews 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 we're
rescued such as you can sustain ?"
Every one of them and many ad.

Gus. The medical profession have
been treating symptoms instead of dis
eases for years, and it is high time it
ceased. The symptoms 1 have just
mentioned or any unusal action or irri>
tation of the water channels indicate
the approach Of kidney disease 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, pains about the
body or other symptoms, but go d.
rectly to the kidneys, the source Of
most of these ailments"
"This, then, is what you meant
when you said that more than one>balf
the deaths which occur arise from
Bright's disease, is it Doctor?
Precisely. Thousands of diseases
are torturing people today, which in
, reality are Bright's disease in some Of
its many forms. 1t is hydra>headed

should strike terror to every one who

declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,

q Mr.. Warner was visited at his es
, Enlistment on North St. Paul street
At first he was inclined to be reticent
but learning that the information de
sired was about Brlghts disease, hi
p manner changed instantly and he SPOKE
very earnestly:
q at is true that Bright's disease haC
increased wonderfully, and we find By
reliable statistics, that from 70 to 80
its growth was over $50 per cent
