counted wonderful experience which
betell him, and a few days thereafter we
published from the same paper second
article, giving an account OF the 'Exclte-
ment in Rochester, caused by DR.. Hen
IONS statement In the first article Dr.
Henion stated that for number OF years,
up 10 last June, he had been afflicted with
what seemed at first a most mysterious
trouble. He felt unaccouutably tired at
frequent intervals; he had dull and indef-
mite pains In various parts OF. his body and
head and was very hungry one day and
entirely without appetite the next. How
ever, as physician he thought, and SO dld
his fellow physicians, that he was sufter-
Ing from malaria.
But vet he grew worse, and was finally
obliged to give up large and lucrative
practice. Still he was not conscious OF
his danger, nor that a monstrous disease
was becoming fixed upon him, although
all his organs had become gradually weak
ened. The symptoms above described
continued, accompanied by Others OF an
aggravated nature, and he noticed pc
culiar color and odor about the fluids he
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
q most terrible disease, and he made hero
lc efforts for recovery. He travelled ex-
tensively and consulted the best physicians,
but they could give him only temporary re-
lief, and that principally In the form OF NOR
phine, And 80 he grew steadily and con-
SANITY worse until his life became 9 tor
ture. His pulse was uncomfortable. he
lived wholly by injections, and for ak
days and nights he had the hiccoughs con-
stantly, which are considered the sure In
dications of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhaust
ed his pastor, the Rev. DIR. Foote, rector
of St. Paul's church, strongly urged him
to try q means which the reverend gentle
MAJ had seen used with remarkabel re-
suits. He objected at first, but Anally
consented, and was conscious OF an I'M
proved condition the first week. His
pains gradually disappeared; his stomach
resumed digestion; his heart became reGu,
lar; his headaches disappeared; he had no
more chills and fever, or acldity OF the
stomach; he gained twehty-six pounds In
three months, and Is 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
VOW he made on what he thought was
his diving bed, he published card detail
| ing his illness and remarkable cure.
''Since my recovery, he says, '1 have
thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of
kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and
believe more than One-hd!f the deaths
ub,ch occur in America are caused
bv Briqht's disease Of the kidneys. II
has no distinctive symptoms of It's own
Cindeed, 1t often devrlopes without any
pain whatever IN the kidneys or their vi
cinity,) but has the symptoms of nearly
every other known complaint. Hundreds
of people die daily whose burials are al
thor1zed by a physicians certificate of
Heart Disease" "Apoplexy." 'Par-
alysls.'' Spinal Complaint" "Rheuma-
tism." "Pneumonia," and other COM
mon complaints when in reality It was
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few
physicians. and fewer people, realize the
extent Of this disease or its dangerous and
lnsidious nature. 1t steals into the system
| like q thief, manifests its presence by the
commonest symptoms, aRd fastenS itself
upon the life before the victim is aware.
| 1t is nearly as hereditary as consumption,
quite az common and fully as fatal En-
the families lnheritIng it from their ances-
tors, have died, and yet none OF the num-
Der knew or realized the mysterious pow
er 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 excite
ment in Rochester, was made up OF IN.
terviews with DR.. Henion hlmseR. who
confirmed all SAID in his card, aad also
with Mr.. II. Fl. Warner. The latter gen.
tleman did not regard Or. Henion's case
as particularly exceptional, 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 of
tens of thousands every year, while Brights
disease ia increasing $50 per cent. a de
cade, and yet the people do not reallz it
or seek to check it until too late. He re
lated how a New Orleans medical profes-
sor, 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 suspicion OF
it before, discovered that he, too, had the
| dreaded disease, which proved fatal in
less than year. There was also an in
| tervlew with the celebrated chemist of the
New Y ork State Board of Health, DR.. s.
| A. baltimore, who said he had aualyzed
the remedy which cured DR.. Henon, and
found that it was ''entirely free from any
poisonous or deleterous substances.
We have made these condenSations In
order that all the material facts may be
set before our readers. Since the pub
llcation Of these two articles, hav-
ing been besieged with letters of
| inquiry, we sent q communication to
| DR.. Henion and also one to Ill. Ii. Warner
& Co., asking If any additional proof
could be gwen 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 sigma
ture, 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. It ls npt
