4 few weeks ago we copied into our columns
from The Rochester, n. Y, Democrat and
Chronicle GA Remarkable Statement" made
by ]. B. Henion, NJ. D., gentleman who Is
well known in this city. In that arucle Ut
Henion recounted awonderful experience whlch
befen him, and few days thereafter we pup
Iished from the same paper second article,
giving an account of the Excitement In Ro-
chester" caused by DR.. Henion's statement: In
the first article DR.. Henion stated that Ior
number of years, up to last june, ne nad Deen
afflicted with what seemed at first most serl-
BUS 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
ont appetite the next. However, as physl-
clan, he thought, and so did his fellow physl-
clans, that he was suffering nom malaria.
But yet he grew worse, ana was nnally
obliged to give up large and lucrative prae-
tice Still he was not conscious of his danger,
nor that 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 Totlceo
a peculiar color and odor about the fluids ne
was passing; that they were abundant one day
and very scanty the next, and were covered
with froth, or filed 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 most terrible disease, and he made
heroic efforts for recovery. He travelled extern
sively 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 un-
comfortable He lived wholly by injections,
and for six days and nights he had the hic-
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 at
| first, but finally consented, and was conscious
of an improved condition the frat 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 a vow he made
on what he thought was his dying bed, he pub
lished card detailing his illness and remark
able cure. Since my recovery" he says, 81
| have thoroughly re-investigated the subject OF
| 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 of its own lin
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 physiciant
certificate of "Heart disease I" "ApOplexy,
Paralysis" "Spinal complaint" "Rheuma

plants, when in reality it was Bright's disease
of the kidneys. Few physicians and fewer
people realize the extent of this disease or it
dangerous and insidious nature. 1t steals intS
the system like thief, manifests it's presenct
by the commonest symptoms, and fasten
itself upon the life before the victim is aware
1t 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 bt
heart disease"
The second article entitled Excitement il
Rochester" was made up of interviews with DIR
Henion himself who confirmed all said in hii
card, and also with Mr. H. II. Warner. The
latter gentleman did not regard DR.. Henion'i
case as particularly exceptional, because b,
| 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 thou
sands every year, while Bright's disease is in
creasing $50 per cent decade, and vet the
people do not realize it or seek to check it unit
too late. He related how a New Orleans medi
cal professor, lecturing 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 it before
discovered that he too had 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. 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 COMBINATIONS in order
| that all the material facts may be set before
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 Il. H. Warner & Co., asking if any
additional proof could be given 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:
ROCHESTER, n Y, Feb. 2, 1882.

To Whom it mag Concern
In the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and
Chronicle OF December 81, 1881, there appeared
a statement in the form of card from Dr. J.
b. Henion, of this city, recounting his remark.

ed with DR.. Henion and we believe we would
publish no statement not literally true. We
are also personally or by reputation well ac-
quainted with Fl. H. Warner & Co., proprietors
OF this remedy, whose commercial and per-
sonal standing in this community is of the
highest order, and we believe that they would
not publish any statements which were not lit
orally and strictly true in every particular.
