AN UNUSUAL FURORE.



able Statement" made by J. Ii. Hen.
ion, NJ. d., u gentleman who is well
known i'm this city. In that article
DIR. Henion recounted wonderful ex-
perience which befeIl him, and few
days thereafter we published from the
same paper q secnnd article, giving Nh
account of the excitement in Roches-
ter >" caused by DIR. HeniOn's statement
In the first article DIR. Henion stated
that for a number Of years, up to last
June, he had been afflicted with what
seemed ut first a most mysterious trou-
BILE. He felt unaccountably tired at
frequent intervals; he had dull and in.
definite pains i'm various parts of his
body and head, and was very hungry
one day and entirely without appetite
the next. However, as physician he
thought, and SD did his fellow physi-
clans, that he was suffering from
malaria.
But vet he grew worse, and was fin
ally obliged to give up a large and lu-
crative practice. Still he was not
conscious of his danger, nor that u
mOnstrous disease was becoming fixed
upon him. although all his organs had
become gradually weakened. The
symptoms aooNe uescIioeu cohtihueu'
accompanied 10y others OF an aggravat-
ed nature, ana he noticed peculiar
color and odor about the ruids ne was
passing; that they were abundant one
day anu very scanty the next, anu
were covered with iroth; OF hiled with
orick dust sedinent. But even theh
he did not realize his real anu alarm
ing condition. Al last, however, ne

that he was victim oil most Terrible
disease, and he made heroic Efforts Tor
recovery. He Travelled extensively ana
consulted the best physicians, but
they could give him only temporary
relief, and that principally III the form
OF morphine. Ana 50 lie grew steadl-

tons, and for SIX days ana nights he

rector OF 81. Pauls church, strongly
urged him to try means which the
reverend gentleman had seen used
with remarkable results. He objected

Although conscious OF the conse-
quences from his professional brethren
still as a duty to his fellow men, and
according to VOW he made on what
he thought was his dying bed, he pub
lished card detailing his illness and
remarkable cure. ''Since my recov-
cry" he says. II have thoroughly
reinvestigated the subject Of kidney
difficulties and Bright's disease, and
believe MORE THAN ONE-HALF THE
DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA
ARE CAUSED By BKIGHr's DISEASE OF
TIE KIDNEYS. Ii has no distinctive
symptoms of its own indeed, it often
develops without any pain whatever
in the kidneys or their vicinity,D but
has the symptoms of nearly every 9TH
er known complaint. Hundreds of
people die daily whose burials are au
thorised by a physicians certificate of
Heart Disease, "ApOplexy,"" Para-
lysis," "Spinal Complaint" "Rheu.
nlatism," "Pneumonia," and other
common complaints when in reality il
was Bright's disease of the kidneys.
Few physicians, and fewer people,
realize the extent of this disease or its
dangerous and insidious nature. IL
steals into the system like n thief,
manifests il, presence by the common
est symptoris, and fastens itself upon
the life before the victim is aware. Ii
is nearly as hereditary rs 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 il often shows none what !
