AN UNUSUAL fURORE.
A Recent Excitement Investigates by the Herald
and the Results Made Public.
(Cleveland, O., Herald. ]

A few weeks ago we copied into our columns
from the Rochester, N. Y. Democrat and Chron-
icle 6 A Remarkable Statement, made by j. b.
Henion, NJ. D., gentleman who is well known
III this city. In that article DR.. Henlon re-
| counted wonderful experience which befell
him, and few days thereafter we pubIsh he'd

caused by DIR. lemons statement. In the first
article DR.. HenoE stated that for number of
years, UP to last June. he had been afflicted
with what seemed at first most mysterious
trouble. He felt unaccountably tired at fire.
quent 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 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 prac-
tlce. Still he was not conciOus 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
| a peculiar color and odor about the fluids he
was passing; that they were abundant one day
| and very scant the next, and were covered with
| froth, or filled with brick dust sediment But
even then he did not realize his real and alarm
ing condition. At last however, he was brought
| face to face with the fact that he was 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 torture. His pulse was uncon-
| trollable. He lived wholly by injections, and
| for six days and nights he had the hiccoughs
constantly, which are considered the sure indi-
cations of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhausted
n9StOr EOOtp n
Paul's Church, strongly urged him to try
| means which the reverend gentleman had
seen used with remarkable results. He object
ed at first, but finally consented, and was con-
| scous of an improved condition the first week.
| His pains gradually Disappeared; his stomach
resumed digestion; his heart became regular;
| his headache disappeared; he had no 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
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 publish
ed a card detailing his illness and remarkable
cure. "Since my recovery" he says, /" / have
thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of kidney
| difficulties and Bright's disease, and believe

| toms of its own, Gndeed, it often develops

fewer people, realize the extent of this disease

steals into the system like thief, manifests its
presence by the commonest symptoms, and
fastens itself upon the life before the victim is
aware. 1t is nearly as hereditary as consump-

tire 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

The second article entitled Excitement in
| Rochester" was made up of interviews with DIR.
| Henlon himself, who confirmed all said in his
| card, and also with Mr.. III. II. 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, are carrying off tens of thousands
every year, while Bright's disease is increasing
$50 per cent. a decade. and yet the people do
not realize it or seek to check it until too late
He related how New Orleans medical pro-
fessor, lecturing on this disease, thinking to
show his class what healthy fluids were, sub
| jected some of his own to chemical test and al
though he had no suspicion of it before, dis
covered that he, too, had the dreaded disease,
which proved fatal in less than year. There
was also an interview with tho celebrated chem
list 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 was 'entirely free from any poisonous
or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations ID order
that all the material facts may be set before
our readers. Since the publication of these two
articles, having been bes1eged with letters of
inquiry, we sent communication to DR..
Henion and also one to Fl. III. Warner & Co.,
asking if any additional proof could be given
us as to the validity of the statements pub
lished. In answer thereto we have received the
following letters, which add interest to the en-
tire subject and wholly verify every statement
hitherto made:
ROCHESTER, N. Y, February 2, 1882.

| In the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and Chron-
icle of December 81, 1881, there appeared
statement in the form of a card from DR.. j. B.
Henion, of this city, recounting his remarkable
recovery from Bright's disease of the kidneys,
after several doctors of prominence had given
him up, by the use of prepa1 alton manufac-
tured in this city and known as Warmers Safe
and Liver Cure.
We are personally Or by reputation acquaint-
ed with DR.. Henion, and we believe he would
publish no statement not literally true. We
are also personally or by reputation well ac-
quainted with H. Fl. Warner Co., proprietors
of this remedy, whose personal aud CONNER
