A few weeks ago we copied into our col
umns from the Rochester, N, Y. Democrat
and Chronicle "A Remarkable Statement y
made ny j.. B. Henion, NJ. D., gentleman
who is well known in this city. In that
article DR.. DEMON recounted wonderful
experience which befell him, and few DAYS
thereafter we published from the same pa
per second article, giving an account of
the Excitement in Rochester," caused by
DIR. Henion's statement. In the first arti-
Gle Dr. Henion stated that for a number of
years, up to last June, he had been afflict
ed with what seemed at first most myste-
rious trouble. He felt unaccountably tired
at frequent intervals; he had dull and in
definite pains in various parts of his BODY
and head, and was very hungry one day and
entirely without appetite the next. Howev-
er, as a physician he thought, and SO did
his fellow physicians, that he was suffering
from malaria.
| But he grew worse, and was finally oblic-
ed to give up large and lucrative practice
Still he was not conscious OF his danger. nor
that mons,rous disease was becoming fixed
upon him although all his organs had be-
come gradually Weekend The symptoms
above described continued, accompanied by
others of an aggravated nature, and he no.
ticed a peculiar color and odor about the
fluids he was passing; that they were album
.;.ii, onI day ana very scanty the next, and
vsr, cav red with frolh or filled with brick
}sIsi imcnt But even then he did
go. r,a,iz. his real and alarming
condition. Atiast, however, he was brought
- L. lac with tn fact that ne was vic

h,r3iH otiorts for recovery. Hetravcled cx-
.a>tvtl5 and c,rsu!led the best physicians,

.t.. ."i ;h't principally ia the form Of

AMI nights III, mad the hiccoughs instantly,
which are the sure indication of coming
i atb.
When hope and life We're nearly exhaust
ed his pastor. the Rev. DR. Foote, rector of
St Paul's Church, strongly urged HIM to try
a means which the reverend gentleman had
seen used with remarkable results. He OBJ
jected at first, but finally consented, and
was conscious of an improved condition the
first week. His pains gradually disappear
ed his stomach resumed digestion his
heart became regular; his headaches disap-
pcared he had no more chills and fever. or
aciditv 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 du-
ty to his fellow men, and according to a
vow he made on what. he thought was his
dying bed, he published card detailing
his illness and remarkable cure. "Since my
recovery" he says, II have thoroughly re-
investigated the subject of kidney difficult
ties and Bright's disease, and / believe more
than one-half the deaths which occur in
America are caused by Bright's disease of
the kidneys. 1t has no distinctive svmp-
toms of its own (indeed, it often develops
without any pain whatever in the kidneys
or their vicinity but has the symptoms of
nearly every other known complaint. Hun
dreds of people die daily whose burals are
authorized by q physicians certificate OF
Heart Disease, Apoplexy, Paralysis, Spinal
| Complaint, rheumatism, Pneumonia, and
other common complaints, when in reality
it was Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few
physicians, and fewer people realize the ex-
tent of this disease or its dangerous and in
! sldlous nature. 1t steals into the svs-
tenn like thief, manitests its presence by
the commonest symptoms, and fastens 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 removing them. Instead of
common symptoms it often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly. and
as such is usually supposed to be heart dis
ease.
The second article entitled Excitement
in Rochester" was made up OF interviews
with DR.. Henion himself, who confirmed
all said i'll his card, and also with Mr.. H.
ii. Warner. The latter gentleman did not
regard DIR. Henion's case as particularly cx-
ceptional, 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
do not realize 1t or seek to check it until too
late. He related how New Orleans medi-
cal professor, 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 s,ls-
picion OF it before, discovered that he, too,
had the dreaded disease, which proved ia
tai in less Than a year. There was also an
interview with the celebrated chemist of the
New York State Board of Health, Dr. S. A.
baltimore, who said he had analyzed the
remedy which cured Dr. Henion, and found
that it was "entirely free from any poison
Gus or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in Or
der 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 commune
cation to DIR. Henion and also one to II. H.
Warner e. Co, asking if any additional
proof could be given us as to the val
idity of the statements published. In
answer thereto we have received the follow
| ing letters:
| ROCHESTER, n. Y, Feb. 2, 1882.
GENTLEMEN Your favor is received
The published statement, over my signature,
to which you refer, is true in every respect
and owe my life and present health who'll
ly to the power of Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. 1t is not surprising that
people should question the statement |
made, for my recovery was as great marvel
to myself as to my physicians and friends
J. B. HENIoN, NJ. D.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan 81, 1882.
Rs;-The best proof we can give you
that the statements made by DR.. Henion
are entirely true, and would not have been
published unless strictly so, is the following
testimonial from the best citizens of Ro-
chester, and card published by Rev. Dr.
Foote, which you are at liberty to use if you
wish II. II. WARNER & Co.
