AN UNUSUAL FURORE,
A Recent Excitement Investigated by the
Herald and the Results
Made Public.
(C2eveland, o., Herald.)

| few weeks ago we copied into our col
umns from the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat
and Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement. -
made by j. b. Henion, NJ. D., a gentleman
who is well known in this city. In that arti-
Gle Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful expert
ence which befell him, and a few days there
after we published from the same paper sec
ond article, giving an account of the Excite
ment in Rochester," caused by DR.. Henon's
statement. In the first article Dr. Henion
stated that for a number of years, up to last
June, he had been afflicted with what seemed
at irst most mysterious trouble. He felt
lnaccountably 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 a physician he thought,
and so did his fellow physicians, that he was
suffering from malaria.
But he grew worse, and was finally obliged
10 give up large and lucrative practice Still
he was not conscious of his danger, nor that a
monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon
MN, although all his organs had become
gradually weakened. The symptoms above
described continued, accompaniedby others of
an aggravated nature, and he noticed pecul-
lar color and odor about the fluids he was
passing; that they were abundant one dav
and very scanty the next, and were covered
with froth 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 most terrible disease and he
made heroic efforts for recovery. Hetraveled
extensively and consulted the best physicians.
but they could give him only temporary re-
LIEF, and that principally in the form of NOR
Prime, And so he grew. steadily and con-
stantly worse until his life became torture.
Ills pulse was uncomfortable He lived
wholly by injections, and for six DAYS and
nights he had the hiccoughs constantly,
which are the sure indication Of coming death
When hope aud life were nearly exhausted
his pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of st.
Paurs Church, strongly urged him to try
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 first week. His
pains gradually disappeared; his stomach re-
sumed digestion; his heart became regular:
his headaches disappeared; he had no more
chllls 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 Brght'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 diving bed
he published a card detailing his illness and
remarkable cure. "Since my recovery" he
says, Il have thoroughly reinvestigated the
subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's
disease, and believe MORE THAN oNE-uALF
THE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA ARE
CAUSED BY BRIGHT's DISEASE OF THE KID
NEYs. 1t has no distinctive symptoms of its
own indeed, it often develops without any
pain whatever In the k dneys or their yicipity.1
but has the symptoms Of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people die
daily whose hurials are authorized by phvsi-
clans certificate of "IIeart Disease,n apo
plexy." "Paralysis,n "Spinal COMPLAINT
"Rheumatism,n "Pneumnonia,n and other
common complaints, when in reality it was
Bl1ght's disease of the kidneys. Few physi-
clans, and fewer people, realize the extent of
this disease or its dangerous and insidious ma
ture. 1t steals into the system like a thief.
manifests its presence by the commonest
symptoms, and fastens itself upon the life be-
fore the victim is aware. 1t is nearly as her
eedii,tary as consumption; quite as common and
fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting 1t
from their ancestors, have died, and yet none
OF the number knew or realized the mysterious
power which was removing them. Instead of
common symptoms it often shows none what
ever, but brings death suddenly, and as such
IL usually supposed to be heart disease
The second article entitled Excitement in
Rochester" was made up of interviews with
DIR. HeniOn himself, who confirmed all said in
his card, and also with Mr. II. II. Warner.
The latter gentleman did not regard DR.. Hen
Ion s case as particularly exceptional, because
ne had known ofvery 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 do not realize II or seek to check it
