ExCITEMENTIN ROCHESTER.
Che Commotion Caused by the
Statement Of Physician.


Statement Of a Physician.
An unusual article from the Roches-
ter n. Y, Democrat and Chronicle,
was recently republished in this paper
and was a subject Of much comment.
Taat the article caused even more
commotion in Rochester, the follow
ing from the same papers 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 since which was duly published,
detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be
certain death. It would be impos-
sible to enumerate the personal en-
quiries which have been made at our Of
flee as to the validity OF the article,
but they have been so numerous that
further investigation of the subject
was deemed necessary. ~
With this end in view a representa-
tive OF this paper called on DR.. Hen
ion, at his residence, when the follow
ing interview occurred 'tThat article
of yours, Doctor, has created quite a
WhlrlWind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you were in,
and the way you were rescued such as
you can sustain?"
''Every one of them and many adj
ditional ones. Twas brought so low
by neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. I did not think I was
sick. It is true had frequent head
aches; felt tired most of the time;
could eat nothing one day and was
ravenous the next; fell dull pains and
my stomach was out of order, but I
did not think it meant anything Sc
rious.
'"The medical profession has been
treating symptoms instead of diseas-
es for years, and it is high time it
ceased. The symptoms I have just
mentioned or any unusual action or
irritation of the water channels indi-
cate the approach OF kidney disease
more than cough announces the COM
ing 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 directly
to the kidneys, the source of most of
these ailments. j"
'"This, then, is what you meant
when you 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
it's many forms. 1t is a Hydra-dead-
ed monster, and the slightest symp-
toms should strike terror to every one
who has them. I can look back and
recall hundreds of deaths which ply
sicians declared at the time were caus-
ed by paralysis, apoplexy, heart dis
ease, pneumonia, malarial fever and
other common complaints which I
see now were caused by Brighc's dis
ease"
"And did all these cases have SIM
pie symptoms at frst?"
"Every one Of them, and might have
been cured as was by the timely use
OF the same remedy. am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this matter
and think l am helping others to see
the facts and their possible danger
ALSO"
Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his
establishment on N. St. Paul street,
spoke very earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease
had increased wonderfully, and we
find, by reliable statistics, that from
10 to 80 it's growth was over
$50 per cent. Look at theprominent
men it has carried off, and IS taking
off every year, for while many aredying
apparently ofparalysis and apoplexy,
they are really victims OF kidney dis
order, which causes heart disease,
paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly
every week the papers record the
death Of some prominent man from
this scourge. Recently, however, the
increase has been checked and [ at
tribute this to the general use OF my
remedy
: s:Do you think many people are al
realize it. Mr.. Warner?''
GA prominent professor in a New
Orleans medical college was lecturing
before his class on the subject of
Bright's disease. He had various
fluids under microscopic analysis and
was showing the students what the
indications of this terrible malady
were. And now, gentlemen he said,
tas we have seen the unhealthy indi-
cations, I will show you how it ap-
pears in a state of perfect health, and
he submitted his own fluid to the usu-
al test. AS he watched the results his
countenance suddenly changed-his
color and command both left him and
in a trembling voice he said: Gentle
men, I have made painful discovery;
/ have Bright's disease Of the Kidneys
and in less than a year he was dead.
The slightest Indications OF any kid
ney difficulty should be enough to
strike terror to any one.
'You know of DIR. Henion's case?"
Eyes, have both read and heard OF
it. :"
1T is very wonderful is it not?''

Others that have come to my notice
as having been cured by the same
