EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The Commotlon Caused by the
Statement of a Physician.

and was subject OF much comment
That the article caused even more
commotion, 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 few days
since, which was duly published, de-
failing his remarkable experience and
rescue from what seemed TO be certain
death, 1t would be impossible 20
enumerate the persona! 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 deem
ed necessary.
With this end in view a representa-
tive OF this paper called on DR.. Henion,
ut his residence, when the following
interview occurred "That article of
yours, Doctor, has created quite u
whirlwind. Are the statements about
the terrible condition you we're in and
the way you were rescued such as you
can sustain?"
Every one OF them and many addi'
lonal ones, / was brought so low by
neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. | did not think was sick.

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 90 directly to
the kidneys, the source of most OF
these ailmeuls"
"This, then, il what you meant
when you said that more than one
half the deaths which occur arise from
lBright'S di ease, is it, doctor?"
Precisely. Thousands of diseases
are tcrluring people to day, which, iu
reality, are Brlght's disease in some Of
its many forms. 1t is a Hydra-headed
monster, aud the slightest symptoms
should strike terror Ia every one who
has them can hook back and recall
hundreds ol deaths which physicians
declared at the time were caused by
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease,
pneumonia, malarial fever and other
common complaints which zee n1w
were caused by Bright's diseas,"
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms ut frst?'
Every one of them, and might
have been cured, as ! was, by the use
OF the same remedy. ] am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this matter
and think 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
at is true that Bright's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find,
by reliable statistics, that from 20 to
80 its growth was over $50 per cent.
Look at the prominent men it has
carried off, and is taking off every
year, for while many are dying ap,
parently OF paralysis and apoplexy,
they are really victims OF kidney dis
order, which causes heart disease, pa
ralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every
week the papers record the death OF
some prominent man from this scourge

been checked, and attribute it to the
general use of my remedy"
