AN UNUSUAL FURORE.
A Recent ExcItment Investigated by
the Herald and the Results
Made Public.
(Clereldnd, o., Hcrdtd.)


(Clereldnd, o., Hcrdld.)
A few weeks ago We copied INTO our col
umns from the Rochester, n. I. DemOcTd,
and Chronicle A Remarkable Statement,
made by j. b. Henion, NJ. d., gentleman
who is well known III this city. In Iua,
article Dr. HeniOn recOunted wonderful
experience which 0efell him, and a few
days thereafter we published from GJe
same paper a second article, giving an &C
count of the Excitement in Rochester,
caused by DIR. HeniOn's statement. In the
first article DIR. HeniOn stated that fer a
number of years, up to last June, he had
been afflicted with " hat seemed at first q
most mysterious trouble. He felt unac-
cOunta0ly tired at frequent intervals; ne
had dull and indefinite pans in various
parts of his body and head, and was very
hungry one day and entirely without ap-
petite 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 mOnstrOus disease was
becoming fixed upon him, although all
| his organs had become gradually weaken
ed. The symptoms above described con-
tinued, accompanied by others of an ag-
gravaied nature, and he noticed a peculiar
color and OdOr about the fluids he was pass
ing; that they were abundant one day and
very scanty the next, and were covered
with frOth, or filled with brick dust sedi-
ment 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 most
| terrible disease, and he made heroic efforts
for 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 and constantly
worse until his life became a torture. His
pulse was uncomfortable. He lived Who'll
| ly by iDjec ions, and for six days and
nights he had the hiccOughs constantly,
which are c)nSidered the sure indications
Of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly ex-
hausted his pastor, the Rev. DR.. FOOte,
rector of st. PaufS 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 i'm
proved condition the first week. His pains
gradually disappeared; his stomach re-
sumed digestion; his heart became regular
his headaches disappeared; he had DO
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
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 card detail
ing his illness and remarkable cure.
"Since my recovery" he says, 81 have
thoroughly re-inveStigated the subject of
kidney difficulties and Bright's disease,
ana believe MORE THAN ONE-HALF THE
| DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
! CAUSED BY BRIGHT'S DISEASE OF THE
KIDNEYS. 1t has no distinctive symptoms

fewer people, realize the extent of this dis.
ease or its dangerous and insidiOus nature
1t steals into the system like thief, mani
tests its presence by the cOmmOneSt symp-
toms, and faStenS itself upon the life before
the victim is aware. 1t is nearly as Eeredi-
tary as consumption, quite as common and
fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting
IL 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 disease"
The second article entitled Excitement
in Rochester, was made up of interviews
with DIR. HeniOn himself, who confirmed
al said In his card, and also with Mr.. Ii
Ill. Warner. The latter gentleman did not
| regard DR.. HeniOn'S case as particularly
exceptional, because he had known OF very
many such cures by the same means in all
parts of the land. Kidney diseases. he said

wear, while Bright'S disease is increasing
25O per cent decade, and yet the people
do not realize it or seek to check il until
TOO late. He related how a New Orleans
medical professor, lecturing on this disease
thinking To show his class what healthy
fuldS were, subjected some OF his own to
a chemical test, and although 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
| DIT ,. n. baltimore, who said he had an
on, and found that il was "entlrely free
from any poisonous or deleterious SUD
stances"
We have made these cOndensations i'm
order that all the material facts may be
| set before our readers. Since the puOlica.
ton of these two articles, having been be-
sleged with letters of inquiry, we sent a
| communication to DIR. HeniOn and also
one To III. III. Warner e Co. asking if any
additional proof could be given us as to
the validity of the StateSmentS published.
In answer thereto we have received the
following letters, which add interest to
the entire subject and wholly verify every
statement hitherto made:
