A Recent Excitement Investigated by the
Herald and the Results Made Public.
Cleveland co., Herald.
few weeks ago we copied into our
columns from the Rochester, N. Y. Dem
oerat and Chonicle GA Remarkable State
ment," made by j. B. Henion, NJ. D.,
gentleman who is well-known in this city.
In that article DR.. Henion recounted won-
derful experience which bafen him, and
few days thereafter we published from the
same paper a second article, giving an. &C
count of the Excitement in Rochester"
caused by DR.. Henion'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 first q
| most mysterious trouble. He felt unac-
countabiy 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 appe-
tite the pext However, as physician he
| thought, and SO did his fellow physicians,
| 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 monstrous disease was
becoming fixed upon him, although all his
organs had become gradually weakened
The symptoms above described continued,
accompanied by others of an aggravated ma
! ture, and he noticed a peculiar color and
odor about the fluids he was passing; that
| they were abundant one day and very scam
ty the next, and were covered with froth, or
filled with brick dust sediment. But even
| tba,, ha hic roo1 nd al
condition. At last however, he was brought
| face to face with the fact that he was vic
tim of most terrible disease, and he made
heroic efforts for recovery. He travelled
extensively and consulted the best physi-
clans, but they could give him only tempo
rary relief, and that principally in the form
| of morphine. And SO he grew steadily and
constantly worse until his life became tor
ture. His pulse was uncomfortable. He
lived wholly by injections, and for six days
and nights he had the hiccoughs constantly,
which are considered the sure indications of
| coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhausted
| his pastor the Rey. DR.. Foote, rector of ST.
Paul's church, strongly urged him to try
| 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 disappeared;
he had no more chills and fever, or acidlty
of the stomach; he gained twenty six pounds
il three months, and is a we'll man to-day,
being entirely cured of most pronounced
case of Bright's disease.
Although conscious of the consequences
from his profession al brethren, still as
I l. L., g,I1o -
vow he made on what he thought was his
dying bed, he published card detailing his
illness and remarkable cure. ''Since my re-
covery," he says, Il have thoroughly rein
vestigated the subject of kidney difficulties
and Brighfs disease, and l 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 (indeed, it often devel-
ops without any pain whatever in the kidneys
| or their vlclnlty,) but has the symp-
toms of nearly every other known COM
plant. Hundreds of people die daily whose
Durials authorized by physicians certit-
cate of "Heart Disease" 'Apoplexy,"
Paralysis Spinal Complaint" ''Rheu
matisnl," Pneumonia, and other COM
mon complaints, when in reality it was
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few physi-
OF this disease or Its dangerous and insidi-
GUS nature. 1t steals into the system like a
thief, manifests its presence by the COM
monest symptoms, aud fastens itself upon
the life before the victim is aware. 1t is
Eearly as hereditary as consumption, quite
as common and fully as fatal. Emf re taInl-
lies, lnherltlng 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 whatever,
but brings death suddenly 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 ali
said i'll his card, and also with Mr. ii. II.
Warner. The latter gentleman did not re-
gard DIR. HenlOns case as particularly ex-
ceptional, because he had known of very
many such cures by the same means i'll all
parts of the land Kidney diseases he
said, are carrying off tens of thousands
every year, while Bright's disease is increas-
ing 250 per cent. a decade, and yet the peo-
pie do not realize 1t or seek to check 1t until
100 late. He related how q New Orleans
medical professor, lecturing on this disease,
thinking 10 show his class what healthy
fluids were, subjected some of his o to a
chemical test, and although ne had no sus-
pieion Of it before, discovered that he, too,
had the dreaded disease, which proved fatal
in less than a year. There was also an in
teryiew with the celebrated chemist of the
New York State Boord of Health, DIR. S. A.
baltimore, who said he had analysed 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
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 a communi-
cation of DR.. Hen1on and also one to I'll. III.
Warner d Co., asking if any additional
proof could be given us as to the validity of
the statements published. In answer
/ thereto we have received the following
letters, which add interest to the entire
subject and wholly verify every statement
hitherto made
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 wholly
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 a
marvel to myself, as to my physicians, and
friends.
