The Commotion Caused by the Statement
Of Physician.
An unusual article from the Roches-

recently published in this paper and
was subject of much comment. That
the article caused even more commo-
ton in Rochester, the following from
the same paper shows:
DIR. 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 since which was duly
published, detailing his remarkable expo
rience and rescue 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 valid
ity Of the article, but they have been so
numerous that further investigation Of the
subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view a representative of
this paper called on DIR. Henion, at his resi-
dence, when the following interview oc-

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

back and recall hundreds of deaths which
physicians declared at the time were caused
by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneu-

Mr.. Warner, who was visited at his es-
Enlistment on N st. Paul street, spoke
very earnestly:
at is true that Brights disease had in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by re-
liable statistics, that from 20 to 80 its
growth was over $50 per cent. Look at the
prominent men 1t has carried Oh, and is taxi

dying apparently Of paralysis and apoplexy,
they are really victims Of kidney disorder,
which causes heart disease, paralysis, apo
plexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers
record the death Of some prominent man
from this scourge. Recently, however, the
increase has been checked and / attribute
