A few weeks ago we copied into our col
umns from the Rochester, N, z, Densscra
| and Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement,
made by j. B. Henion, III. D., a gentleman
who is well known in this city. In that
article DIR. Henion recounted wonderful
experience which befen him, and a few
days thereafter we published from the
| same paper second article, giving an &C
count of the Excitement in Rochester, p
caused by DIR. Henion's statement. In the
| first article DIR. Henion stated that for a
number of years, up to last June, he had
been afflicted with what seemed at first a
most mysterious trouble. He felt unac-
countably tired at frequent intervals; he
had dull and indefinite pains in various
parts Of his body and head, and was very
hungry one day and entirely without APP
petite the next. However, as physician
he thought, and so did his fellow physi
clans, that he was suffering from malaria.
But yet he grew worse, and was finally
obliged to give up a large and lucrative
practice. Still he was not conscious of his
danger, nor that a monstrous disease was
becoming fixed upon him, although all his
organs had become gradually weakened.
The symptoms above described continued,
accompanied by others of an aggregated
nature, and he noticed a peculiar color and
odoF about the fluids he was passing; that
they were abundant one day and very
scanty the next, and were covered with
froth, or filed with brick dust sediment.
But even then he did not realize his real
and alarming condition. At last, however
he was brought face to face with the fact
that he was victim of most terrible dis
ease, and he made heroic efforts for recov-
cry. He travelled extensively and consult
ed the best physicians, but they gave him
only temporary relief, and that principally
in the form of morphine. And so he grew
steadily and constantly worse until his life
became torture. His pulse was uncon-
trollable. He lived wholly by injections,
and for six days and nights he had the hic-
coughs constantly, which was considered
the sure indications of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhaust
ed his pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector of
st. Paul's church, strongly urged him to
try a means which the reverend gentleman
had seen used with remarkable results.
He objected at first, but finally consented,
and was conscious of an improved condi-
ton the first week. His pains gradually
disappeared; his stomach resumed diges
ton; his heart became regular; his head
aches Disappeared; he had no more chills
and fever, or acidity of the stomach; he
gained twenty-six pounds in three months
and is a well man to-day, being entirely
cured of a most pronounced case of Bright's
disease
Although conscious of the consequences
from his professional brethren, still as a
duty to his fellow men, and according to a
vow he made on what he thought was his
dying bed, he published a card detailing
his illness and remarkable cure. ''Since
my recovery" he says, q have thoroughly
re-investigated the subject of kidney diff
culties and Bright's disease, and [ believe
MORE THAN oNE-HALF THE DEATHS WHICH
OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE CAUSED BY BRIGHT's
DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. 1t has no dis
tinctive symptoms of its own Gndeed, it
often develops without any pain whatever
in the kidneys or their vicinity,) but has
the symptoms of nearly every other known
complaint Hundreds of people die daily
whose burials are authorized by a ply
sicians certificate of Heart Disease"
'.Apoplexy,' Paralysis" "Splnal Com
plant" ''Rhsumatism, Pneumonia" and
other common complaints when in reality
it was Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few
and fewer people, realize the
extent of this disease or its dangerous and
insidious nature. 1t steals into the system
like thief. manifesls its presence by the
symptoms, and fastens itself
upon the life before the victim is aware. 1t
is nearly as hereditary as consumption,
quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire
families, inheriting it from their ancestors,
have died, and yet none of the number
knew or realized the mysterious power
which was removing them. Instead of
common symptoms it often shows none
whatever. but brings death suddenly and
as such is usually supposed to be heart
The second article entitled Excitement
in Rochester" was made up of interviews
with DR.. Henion himself, who confirmed
all said in his card, and also with Mr.. FL. II.
Warner. The latter gentleman did not re-
gard DR.. Henion's case as particularly ex-
ceptional, because he had known of very
many such cures by the same means in all
parts of the land. Kidney diseases, he
said, are carrying off tens of thousands
every year, while Bright's disease is increas-
ing $50 per cent. decade, and yet the peo
pie do not realize it Or seek to check it I'M
til too late. He related how New Orleans
medical professor, lecturing on this disease
to show his class what healthy

a chemical test, and although he had no
suspicion of it before, discovered that he,
too, had the dreaded disease, which proved
fatal in less than year. There was also
an interview with the celebrated chemist of
the New York State Board of Health, DR..
5. A. baltimore, who said he had analysed
the remedy which cured DR.. Henion, and
found that it was entirely free from any
poisonous or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in
order that all the material facts may be set
before our readers. Since the publication
of these two articles, having been besieged
with letters of inquiry, We sent eommuni-
cation to DR.. Henion and alse one to Ell. II
Warner & Co., asking if any additional
proof could be given us as to the validity of
the statements published. In answer
thereto we have received the following let
tiers, which add interest to the entire sub
ject and wholly verify every statement
hitherto made:
