few weeks ago we copied into our columns
nom the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and
Chronicle "a Remark able Statement" +" made
by ]. b. Henion, M. D., gentleman who il
well known in this city. In that article DR..
Henion recounted awonderful experience which
befell him, and few days thereafter we pub
lished from the same paper q second article.
giving an account of the 6 Excitement in Ro-
chester, caused by Dr. Hsnion's statement. In.
the first article Dr. Henion stated that for
number of years, up to last june he had been
afflicted with what seemed at first a most seri-
GUS trouble. He felt unaccounably tired AZ
frequent intervals he had dull and indefinite
pains In various parts of his body and head
and was very hungry one day and entirely with
out appetite the next. However, as phvsi-
cian, he thought, and so did his fellow pbysi-
clans, that he was suffering from malaria.
But yet he grew worse, and was finally
obliged to give up large and lucrative prac.
uce Stlll he was not conscious of his danger
nor that monstrous disease was besomino
fixed upon him, although all his organs had be-
come gradually weakened. The symptoms
above described continded, accompspied bv
Others OF an aggravated nature, and he noticed
peculiar co or and odor about tho fluids he
was passing; that they were abundant one day
and very scanty the next and were covered
with frQth, or filled with brick dust sediment.
But even then he did not realize his real and
alarming condition. At last. however. he was
victim of most terrible disease, and he made
heroic Efforts for recovery. He travelled extern
slvely aud consulted the best physicians but
they could give him only temporary relief and
that principa ly in the form of morphine. And
80 he grew steadily and constantly worse until
his life became torture. His pulse was un-
controllable. He lived wholly by inie tions.
and for six days and nights he had tue bic-
coughs constantly which are considered the
sure indications of coming death
When hope and life were nearly exhausted
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
hrst, but finally consented, and was conscious
OF an improved condition tho first week. His
pains gradually disappeared his stomach re-
eumed digestion; his heart became regular; his
headaches Disappeared; he had no more chills
and fever, or scidity of the stomach; he gained
twenty-six pounds in three months and is a
well man to-day, being entirely cured of most
pronounced case Of Brights disease.
Although conscious of the consequences from
ms professional brethren, still, as duty to his
fellow men, aud according to a VOW he made
on what he thought was his dying bed, he pub
nshed card detailing his illness aud remark-
able cure. Since my recovery" he saws Z"
have thoroughly re-investigated the subject of
kidney dlfhcultles and Brght's disease, and I
DelleVe MORE THAN oNE-HALF THE DEATHS
WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE CAUSED BY
BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. 1t has
no distinctive symptoms of its own lin
deed, 1t often develops without any pain what
ever in the kidneys or their vicinityJ. but has
the symptoms of nearly every other known
complaint Hundreds of people die daily

certificate of "HeaIt disease" "Apoplexy."
" Paralysis, "Spinal complaint" "Rheuma-
tism, )" Pneumonia and other common com
plants, when in reality it was Bright's disease
OF the kidneys. Few physicians and fewer
people realize the extent OF this disease or its
dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into
the system like thief, manifests its presence
by the commonest symptoms, and fastens
itself upon the life before the victim ia aware

families, inheriting it from their ancestors.
have died, and yet none of the number knew
or realized the mysterious power which was re-
moving 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 DR..
Henion himself, who confirmed all said in his
card, and also with Mr.. II. H. Warner. The
latter gentleman did not regard DIR. Henion,s
case as particularly exceptional, because he
had known of very many such cures by the
same means in al parts of the land. Kidney
Diseases he said, are carr yiIg off tens of thou
sands every year, while BIights disease is in

people do not realize it or seek to check il until

remedy which cured DR.. Henion, and found
that 1t was entirely free from any poisonous
Or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in order
mat all the material facts may be set before
our readers. Since the publication OF these two
articles having been besieged with LETT ers of |
inquiry, we sent letter to DIR. Henion and |
al-o one to Il. H. Warner & Co., asking if any
additional proof could be given us as to the val
ldlty OF the statements published. In answer |
thereto we have received the following letters, |
which add interest to the 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 l made, for my recoY-
srTy was as great marvel to myself as to my
physicians ana friends.

ROCHESTER, N Y, Jan 81 1882.
SIRs Acknowledging your favor duly re-
'elVed, we would ay: The best proof we can
SiVe you that the statements made by Dr. Hen
on are entirely true, and would not have been
published unless strictly so, is the following tes-
imonal from the best citizens of Rochester,

Tou are at liberty to use if you wish.
