A few weeks ago we copied into our col
umns from the Rochester, n. Y, Democrat
and Chronicle GA 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 sec
ond article, giving an account Of the Excite
ment in Rochester," caused by DR.. Henion's
statement. In the first article DIR. Henion
stated that for number of years, up to last
June, he had been afflicted with what seemed
at first a 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 physician he thought,
and so did his fellow physicians, that he was
suffering from malaria.
But 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
monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon
him. although all his organs had become
gradually weakened The symptoms above
described continued. accompaniedbv By 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 filled 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
a victim of a 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-
cfar w ", IA haa
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.
PauIs 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 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 most pronounced case of Bright 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 diving bed
he published a card detailing his illness and
remarkable cure. 'Since my recovery" he
says, Il have thoroughly reinvestigated the
subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's
disease, and l believe MORE THAN oNE-HALF
THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
CAUSED BY BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE KID
NEYs. 1t has no distinctive symptoms of its
own Indeed, it often develops without any
pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity J
but has the symptoms of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people die
daily whose burials are authorized by physi-
clans certificate of ''Heart Disease,n ssApo-
''Rheumatism, ''Pneumnonia," and other
common complaints, when in reality it was
Brights 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 thief,
manifests it's presence by the commonest
symptoms, and fastens itself upon the life be-
fore the victim is aware. 1t is nearly as her.
editary as consumption, quite as co nmon 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 what
ever, but brings death suddenly, and as such
Is usually supposed to be heart disease.
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.. II. H. Warner.
The latter gentleman did not regard Dr. Hen
ions case as particularly exceptional, because
he had known ofvery 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 increasing 250 per cent. decade, and yet
the people do not realize it or seek to check it
until too late He related 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 a
year. There was also an interview with the
celebrated chemist of the New York State
Board of Health, DR.. s. A. baltimore, who
said he had analyzed 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 besieged with let
ters OF inquiry, we sent communication to
DIR. Henion and also one to H. H. Warner q
Co., asking if 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 |
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 as great marvel to myself as to my
physicians and friends.
J.B. HENIoN, NJ D.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. 81, 1882.
SIRs: Acknowledging your favor duly re-
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 SO, 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 if you
wish. II. H. WARNER E Co..
To Whom it may Concern:
In the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and Chron
icle of December 81, 1851, there appeared a
statement in the form of card from DR.. j. B.
Henion, of this city, recounting his re-
markable recovery from Bright's disease of
the kidneys, after several doctors of promi-
nence had given him up, by the use of a prep
aration manufactured in this city and known
as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
We are personally or by reputation acquaint-
ed with DR.. Henion, and we believe he would
