Made Public.

(CIasland, o., Hsrd1d.)
A few weeks ago we copied into our col
umns from the Rochester, N Y, Democrat
and Chronicle "A Remarkable Statement"
made by J. B. Henion, NJ D., gentleman
who is well known in this city. In that arti-
Gle DR.. Henion recounted wonderful expert
ence which befell him, and few days there
after We published from the same paper a sec
ond article, giving an account Of the Excite
| ment in Rochester," caused by Dr. Henion's
statement. In the first article pr. Henicn
stated that for number of years. up to last
June, he had been afflicted with what seemed
| 1t f1rst most mysterious trouble. He felt
unaccountably 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 appetite the
| next However, as a physician he thought,
suffering from malaria
But he grew worse and was finally obliged
| to give up large and lucrative practice. Still
he was not conscious of his danger, nor that q
moustrous disease was becoming fixed upon
| him, although all his organs had become
gradually weakened The symptoms above
described continued, sccompaniedby Others Of
an aggravated nature, and he noticed pecul-
| lar color and odor about the fluids he was
| passing; that they were abundant one day
and very scanty the next, and were covered
with froth or nlled 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 disease, and he
made heroic efforts for recovery. Hetraveled
| extensively and consulted the best physicians,
but they could give him only temporary re-
Lief, and that principally in the form Of NOR
phine. And SO he grew steadily and con-
| stantly worse until his life became a torture.
His pulse. was uncomfortable. He lived
wholly BY injections, and for six days and
nights he had the hiccoughs constantly,
which are the sure indication Of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhausted
| his pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector of st.
Paul's Church, strongly urged him to try
means which the reverend gentleman had seen
| used with remarkable results. He objected at
| first, but finally consented, and was conscious
OF an improved condition the first week. His
| pains gradually disappeared; his stomach re-
| sumed digestion; his heart became regular;
his headaches disappeared; he had no more
chills and fever, or acidity Of the stomach; he
gained twenty-six pounds in three months,
and is well man to-day, being entirely cured
| OF a most pronounced ca Sc of Bright's disease.
| Although conscious of the consequences
from his professional brethren, stiIl ~ 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. s'Since my recovery" he
says, Il have thoroughly reinvestigafed the
| subject of kidney difficulties and Bneht's
disease, and l believe MORE THAN oyE-HALP
| THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
CAUSED BIZ BRIoRr's DIsKAs. or THE KID
NEYs. 1t has no distinctive symptoms Of its
| own Indeed, it often develops without any
| pain whatever in the dneys or their vicinity,)
but has the symptoms Of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people die
daily whose hurials are authorized BY physi-
clans certificate Of Heart Disease "Apo-
| plexy." Paralysis" "Spinal Complaint
"Rheumatism," s'Pneumnonia," and other
common complaints, when in reality 1t was
Bright's disease Of the kidneys- Few physi-
clans, and fewer people, realize the extent Of
this disease or its dangerous and insidious ma
ture. 1t steals into the system like a thief,
manffests its presence by the commonest
| symptoms, and fastens itself upon the life be-
fore the victim is aware. 1t is nearly as her
edlsary as consumption, quite as 60 nmon and
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 what
ever, but brings death suddenly, and a. such
10 usually supposed to be heart disease
The second article entitled Excitement in
Rochester" was made up of interviews with
DIR. Henion himself, who confirmed all said in
his card, and also with Mr.. H. H. Warner.
The latter gentleman did not regard DR.. Hen
[ iou . Cdec 40 pa tlCuf6ill cACcptiOuois ucCauSc
| he had known ofvery many such cures by the
| same means IN all parts OF the land. Kidney
| diseases, he said, are carrying of tens Of
thousands every year, while Bright's disease
| Is increasing 80 per cent. decade, and yet
| the people do not realize 1t or seek to check IL
until too late. Herelated how . New Orleans
| medical professor, lecturing on this disease,
| thinking to show his class what healthy fluids
were, subjected some Of his own to chemical
test, and although he had no suspicion Of it
| before, discovered that he, too, had the dread
ed disease, which proved fatal in less than .
| year. There wac also an interview with the
celebrated chemist of the New York State
Board of Health, DR.. s. 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 sub
stances"
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 beseged with let
ters Of inquiry, We sent q communication to
Co., asking II any additional proof could be
given us as to the validity Of the statements
published. In answer thereto we have re-
ceived the following letters, which add inter-
est to the entire subject and wholly verify
every statement hitherto made:
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Feb 2. 1882.
GENTLEMEN: Your favor is received The
published statement, over my signature, to
which you refer, Is true in every respect, and I
owe my life and present health wholly to the
power Of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. 1t is not surprising that people should
question the statement made, for my recov-
cry was a. great marvel to myself as to my
physicians and friends.

SrRs: Acknowledging your favor duly no
ceived, we would say: The best proof we can
give you that the statements made by DR..
Henion are entirely true, and would not have
been published unless strictly 90, Is the fol-
lowing testimonial from the best citizens of
Rochester, and . card published by Rev. DR..
Foote, which you are at liberty to use II you
