Cleveland (O.) Herald
A few weeks ago we copied into our col
umns from the Rochester IN. 7. Democrat
and Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement"
made by j B. Henion, NJ. d a gentleman
who Is well known in this city. In that arti-
Gle DR.. Heuion recouDted wonderful expe-
rience which befell him, and a 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 article
DR.. Henion stated that for a number of
years, up to last June. he had been afflicted
with what seemed at first a most mysterious
trouble. He felt unaccountably tired at fire.
quent intervals: he had dull and indefinite
pains In various parts of his body and head
and was very hungry one dsv and entirely
without appetite the next. However, as a
physician, he thought. and so did his fellow
physicians, that he was suffering from ma
laria
But yet be grew worse, and was finally
obliged to give up a 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 q peculiar 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
filled with brick dust sediment. But even
then he did not realize his real and alarm
ing condition. At last, however, he was
brought face to face with the fact that he
was victim of a most terrible disease, and
he made heroic efforts for recovery. He
travelled extensively and consulted the best
physicians, but they could give him only
temporary relief, and that principally in the
form OF morphine. And so he grew steadi-
ly and constantly worse until his life became
torture. His pulse was uncomfortable.
He lived wholly by Injections, and for six
days and nights he had the hiccougbs con-
stantly, which are considered the sure indi-
cations OF coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhaust
ed his pastor, the Rev. Doctor FoOte, rector
of St. Paul's 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 disappeared;
his stomach resumed digestion: his heart
became regular; bis headaches disappeared;
he had no more chills aud fever, or acidity
Of the stomach; he gained twenty six pounds
in three months, and is a well man to-day,
case'of Bright's disease.
Although conscious of the conse quences
from his profes sional brethren, still as a
duty to his fellow men, and according to a
VOW he made on what he thought was his
dying bed, he published a card detailing hfs
illness and remarkable cure. "SInce my
recovery" he says, II have thor
ou0hly reinvestlgated the subject of kidney
difficulties and Bright's disease, and be-
than holf he mkt {ab
occur In America are caused by Brght's
disease OF the kidneys IT. has no distinc-
tive symptoms OF its own Cndeed, It often
develops without any pain whatever in the
kidneys or their vicinity. but has
the symptoms of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of peo-
pie die daily whose burisIs are authorized
by a PHYSICIANS certificate of Heart
Disease 'Apoplexy,' Paralysis 'Spi-
MA, aud other common complaints, when
in reality it was Bright's disease of the kid
neYs. Few physicians, and fewer people,
realize the extent OF this disease or its dan
gerous and insidious nature. 1t steals into
the system like thief, manifests its pres
ence by the commonest symptoms, and fss-
tens Itself upon the life before the victim is
aware. 1t is nearly as hereditary as con-
sumption, quite as common aud fully as
their ancestors, have died, and vet none of
the number knew or realized the mysteri
GUS power which was removing them. In
stead OF common symptoms 1t 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 al
caa In hfe ord a1e NJ II
Warner. The latter gentleman did not
regard DR.. Henion's case as particularly ex
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 it or seek to check 1t until too
late. he related how a New Orleans medi-
cal professor, lecturing on this disesse,
thinking to show his class what healthy
fluids were, subjected some Of his own to a
chemical test, and although he had no sus-
piciOn of it before, discovered that he, too,
had the dreaded disease, which proved fatal
in less than year. There was also an in
terview with the celebrated chemist of the
New York State Board of Health, DR.. s. A.
baltimore, who said he bad analyzed the
remedy which cured Dr. Henion, and found

Gus or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in
order that all the material facts may be set
before our readers. Since the puhlfeation
of these two articles, having been besieged
with letters Of inquiry, We sent communi-
cation to DR.. Henion, and also one TO H. H.
Warner & Co, asking If any additional
proof could be given us as to the validity of
the statements published. In answer there
to we have received the following letters,
which add interest to the entire subject and
wholly verify every statement hitherto
made:
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, February Q, 1882.
GENTLEMEN-Your favor is received. The
published statement, over my signature, to
which u'::refer, is true iu every respect,
and l owe my life and present health
wholly to the power of Warmers Safe Kid
ney and LIVER Cure. 1t is not surprising
that people should question the statement 1
made, for my recovery was as great a mar
vel to myself as to my physicians and
friends.
