AN UNUSUAL FURORE.
A RECENT EXCITEMENT INVESTIGATED
BY THE HERALD AND THE RESULT
MADE PUBLIC.

thereafter we published from the same
paper second article, giving an ac-.
count of the Excitement in Roches
ter caused by DR.. Henion's statement.
In the first article DR.. Henion stated
that for a number of years, up to last
June, he had been afflicted with what
seemed at first most mysterious
trouble. He felt unaccountably tired
at frequent intervals he had dull and
indefinite pain in various parts of his
body and head, and was very hungry
one day and without appetite the next.
However, as a physician, he thought,
and so did his fellow-physicians, that
he was suffering from malaria.
But yet he grew worse, and was
finally obliged to give up 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 aggravat-
ed nature, and he noticed a peculiar
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 filed with brick
dust sediment. But even then he did
not realize his real and alarming con-
dition. 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 fol-
recovery. He travelled extensively and
consulted the best physicians, but they
could give him only temporary relief,
and that principally in the form of
morphine. And so he grew steadily
worse until his life became torture.
His pulse was uncomfortable. He lived
wholly by injections, and for six days
and nights he had the hiccoughs con-
stantly, which are considered the sure
indications of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly ex-
hausted 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 condition the
first week. His pains gradually dis
appeared he had no more chills and
fever, or acidity of the stomach he
has gained twenty-six pounds in three
months, and is we'll man to-day, being
entirely cured of most pronounced
case of Bright's disease.
Although conscious Of the conse-
quences from his professional brethren,
still as duty to his fellow-men, and
according to a VOW he made on what
he thought was his dying bed, he pub
lished card detailing his illness and
remarkable cure. "Since my recov-
cry" he says, 81 have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject nf. kidney diff
ficulties and Bright's disease, and I be-
lieve MORE THAN ONE-HALF THE
DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
CAUSED By BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE
KIDNEYS. It has no distinctive symp-
toms of its own Gndeed, it often de-
velops 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 physicians certificate of Heart
Disease" "Apoplexy," Paralysis"
"Spinal Complaint" Rheumatism"
Pneumonia" and other common COM
plants, when in reality 1t was Bright's
disease of the kidneys. Few physi-
clans, and fewer people, realize the ex-
tent of this disease or Its dangerous and
insidious nature. 1t steals into the sys-
tenn like a thief, manifests its presence
by the commOnest symptoms, and
fastens itself upon the life before the
victim is aware. 1t is nearly as heredi-
tary as consumption, quite as common
and fully as fatal. Entire families, in
heriting it from their ancestors, have
died, and yet none of the numbe" knew
or realized the mysterious power which
was removing them. Instead of COM
mon symptoms it often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly,
and as such is usually supposed to be
heart disease"
The second article, entitled, /" Excite
ment in Rochester" was made up o. in
terviews with DR.. Henlon himself, who
confirmed all said in his card, and also
with Mr.. H. H. Warner. The latter
gentleman did not regard DR.. Henion's
case as particularly exceptional, be-
cause 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
people do not realize it or seek to check
it until too late. He related how a
New Orleans medical professor, lectur-
ing on this disease, thinking to show
his class what healthy fluids were, sub
jected some of his own to 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 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 analysed the remedy which
cured DR.. Henion, and found that it

We have made these CONVERSATIONS
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 communication to
DR.. Henion and also enc to III. H. War
ner s. Co., asking if any additional
proof could be given us as to the
of the statements published.
In answer thereto we have received
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 re-
,eiyed. The published statement, over
nv signature, to which you refer, is
rue in every respect, and / owe my
ife and present health wholly to the
power of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. It is not surprising that
people should question the statement
made, for my recovery was as great
marvel to myself as to my physicians
md friends. :
