America, sent an extended article to this pa
per, few days since which was duly pub

end rescue from what seemed to be certain
DEATH 1t would be impossible to enumerate
the personal enquiries which have been made
ct our Office as to the validity of the article,
but they have been so numerous that further
investigation OF the subject was deemed an
editorial necessity.
With this end in view . representative Of
this paper called on DIR. Henion, at his resi-
Interview occurred: "Thit article of yours,

OF the time; could eat nothing one day and
was ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite
pains and my stomach vas out Of order, but /
did not think 1t meant anything serious"
:" But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took SO firm a hold on you!''
"Anythingl Why, they are the sure indt

malady. The fact Is, few people know or
realize what ais them, and am sorry to sag
that too few physicians do either"
THAT Is q strange statement, Doctor"
