Herald ana the Kesaits Made Public. | Cleveland, O., Herald.)
 l few weeks ago we copied into our columns
 from iron the Rochester. N. T.. Democrat and | by J. B. Henion, M. D., gentleman who if | well known in this city. In that article Dr.
 Henion recounted wonderful experience which | beten him, and a few days thereafter we pub- giving an account of the esExcitsment in Ro- | chester, caused by Dr. Henion's statement. In the first, article Dr. Henion stated that for a plumber of years, up to last June, he had been | Afflicted with what seemed at first most seri- pus 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 with out appetite the next. However as a phvsi- clan, he thought, and SO did his fellow physi- clans, that he was suffering from malaria But yet he grew worse, and was finally obliged to give up large and lucrative prac- elce. Still he was not conscious of his danger, nor that a monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon him, although all his organs had be- come gradually weakened. The symptoms above described continued accompanied by others of an aggravated nature, and he noticed 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 roth, 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 victim of 6 most terrible disease, and he made heroic efforts for recovery. He travelled exten- s1vely 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 ms life became torture. His pulse was urr- so1tfoisble con foL He G lived wholly by injections 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. Pauls church. strongly urged him to try a means which the reverend gentleman had seen used with remarkable results. He objected st 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 a well man to-day, being entirely cured of most pronounced case of Bright's disease.
 Although conscious of the consequences from his professional brethren, still, as duty to his fellow men, and according to VOW he made on what he thought was his dying bed, he pub hshed card detailing his illness aud remark able cure. Since my recovery" he says, "I have thoroughly re-investigatcd the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and I believe MORE THAN oNE-HALF THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE CAUSED BY BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. It has no distinctive symptoms of it's own (in- deed, it often develops without any pain what ever 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 "Hea1t disease" <'Apoplexy," :. .Paralysis," "spinal complaint,'' s' 'Rheuma- tism, 7" Pneumonia " and other common com plaints, when in reality it WAS Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few physicians and fewer people realize the extent Of this disease or it's 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 is aware It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common 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 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 dissase."
 The second article entitled Excitement in Rochester" WAS ma1e up of interviews with Dr. Henion himself, who confirmed all said in his card, and also with NIT. H. H. 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 a parts of the land. Kidney diseases, he said, car ying off tens of thou sands every year. while BIights disease Is in- ere casing 250 per cent decade, and vet the people do pos realize it seek to check it until too late. He related how New Orleans madi- cal professor, featuring on this disease, think ing to show his class what healthy fluids were subjected some of his own to chemical test, and although he had no suspicion of 1t befure, discovered tbat he too hau the dreaded disease which proved fatal in less than year. There was also an interview with the celebrated chem ist of the New York State Board of Health, Dr. s. A. Lattimore, who said he had analysed the remedy which cured Dr. Henion, and founl that it was "entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances.''
 Wo how 6a fbnca S,, that all tho material facts may be set be ore 1 our readers. Since the publication of these two articles, having been besieged with letters of inquiry, we sent letter to Dr. Henion and also one to H. H. Warner Co.,, asking if any l additional proof could be given us as to the val. idity 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: 1
