A few weeks ago we copied into our columns
from the Rochester N. Y, Democrat and
Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement" made
by ]. B. Henon, NJ. d.. q gentleman who is
well known in this city. In that article DIR.
Henion recounted awonderfu experience which |
befell him, and a few days thereafter we pub |
lished from the same paper second article, |
giving an account of the Excitement in Ro- |
CHESTER" caused by DR.. Henion's statement. In |
the first article DR.. Henion stated that for a
humber of years, up to last June, he had been |
afflicted with what seemed at first most seri- |
pps trouble. He felt unaccouniably 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 with
out appetite the next. However, as a pbysi-
clan, he thought, and so did his fellow physi-
clans, that he was suffering from malaria.
But yet he grew worse, and was finally
obliged to give up large and lucrative prac
tice. Still he was not conscious of his danger,
| nor that a monstrous disease was becoming
| fixed upon him, although all his organs had be-
come gradually weakened. Tho symptoms
| above described continued, accompanied by
others oil an aggravated nature, and he noticed
peculiar co or 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 filled with brick dust sediment.
But even then he did mt 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. He travelled extern
sively and consulted the best physicians, but
they could give him only temporary relief, and
| that principally in the form of morphine. And
80 he grow steadily and constantly worse until
his life heoame q torture. His pulse was uu-
controllable. He lived wholly by inje tions,
and for six days and nights ho had the hic-
coughs constantly, which are considei ed the
| cure indications of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhausted,
his pastor. the Rev. DIR. Foote, rector of st.
PauPs 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 dissppeare1; his stomach
aumed digestion his heart became regular; his
headaches disappeared; he had no more chills
and fever, or acidsty of the stomach; he gained
twenty-six pounds in three months and is
well man to-day, being entirely cured of a most
pronounced case OF Bright's disease.
Although conscious of the con sequences from
his professional brethren, still, rs duty to his
fellow men, and according to vow he made
on what hs thought was his diving bed lie pub
li-hed a card detailing his illness and remark
able cure. 'Since my recovery" he says, {" 1
