AN UNUSUAL FURORE.
a Recent Excitement Investigated by the
Herald and the Results Made Public.
cleveland to.) Herald.]
A few weeks ago we copied into our columns
from the Rochester On. Y.) Democrat and
Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement" made
by j. B. Henion, NJ. D., gentleman who is
well known in this city. In that article DR..
Henion recounted a wonderful experience which
befell him, and . few days thereafter we pub
lished from the same paper second article,
giving an account of the 50 Excitement in Roch-
ester" caused by DR.. Henions statement. In
the first article DIR. Henion stated that for
number Of years, up to last June, he had been
afflicted with what seemed at first most mys-
terious 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
without appetite the next. However, as ply
sician he thought, and so did his fellow physi-
cians 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 a
him, although all his organs had become grad
ually weakened. The symptoms above de-
scribed continued, accompanied by others OF an
aggravated nature, and he noticed q 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 froth,
or filed with brickdust 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 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,
| his pastor, the Rev. DIR. Foote rector of st.
Paul's Church, strongly urged him to try a
| means which the reverend gentlemrn had seen
| used with remarkable results. He objected at
| 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
| gain twenty-six pounds in three months, and
| Is well man to-day, being entirely cured of 8
most pronounced case of Bright's disease.
Although conscious of the consequences from
| his professional brethren still a duty TO his
| fellow men, and according to a VOW he made on
| what he thought WAS his dying bed, he pub
| lished q card detailing his illness and remark
| able cure. "Since my recovery" he says,
| have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject OF
kidney difficulties and Brights disease, and
| believe MORE THAN oNE-HALF THE DEATHS
WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE CAUSED By
BRIaHT's DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. 1t has no
| distinctive symptoms of its own Gndeed, it
| often develops without any pain whatever in
| the kidneys or their vicinity,} but has the
| symptoms of nearly every other known COM
| plaint. Hundreds of people die daily whose
cate of "Heart Disease" "Apoplexy," Par
alysis," "Spinal Complaint, :" ;" Rheumatism, -
| "Pneumonia," )" and other common complaints,
when in reality 1t was Bright's disease of the
kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people,
realize the extent of this disease its danger
| GUS and insidious nature. 1t 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 ia
/ nearly as hereditary consumption, quite al
inheriting it from their ancestors, have died,
| and vet none of the number knew or realized
the mysterious power which was removing
| them. Instead Of common symptoms, it often
denly, 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.. Fl. H. Warner. The
latter gentleman did not regard DIR. Henion'e
| 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 decade, and yet the people dc
| not realize it or seek to check it until too late
He related how a New Orleans medical profes'
sor, lecturing on this disease, thinking to show
his class what healthy fluids were, subjected
| some of his own to chemical test, and although
he had no suspicion Of it before, discovered
that he too, had the dreaded disease which
| proved fatal in less than year There wal
| also an interview with the celebrated chemis,
Of the New York State Board of Health. DR.. g.
A. baltimore, who said he had analysed the
remedy which cured DIR. Henion, and found
that it was "entirely free from any poisonous
or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in ordel
that all the material facts may be set before
| our readers. Since the publication of these two
articles having been besieged with letters o.
| inquiry, we sent a communication to DIR
Henion and also one to H. Fl. Warner u Co.
| asking if any additional proof could be given Vi
as to the validity of the statements published
| In answer thereto we have received the follow
ing letters, which add interest to the entir'
subject and wholly verify every statemen

To Whom it may Concern:
In the Rochester On. Y.) Democrat and
Chronicle of December 81, 1881, there appeared
q statement in the form Of card from DR.. j.
able recovery from Bright's disease of tht
kidneys, after several doctors of prominence
had given him up, by the use of q preparation
manufactured in this city and known as War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
We are personally or by reputation acquainted
with DR.. Henion, and we believe he would
publish no statement not literally true. We are
also personally or by reputation well acquainted
with 81. 81. Warner d Co., proprietors of THU
remedy, whose commercial and personal stand
ing in this community is of the highest order
and we believe that they would not publish an.
statements which were not literally and strictly
true in every particular.
