| A few weeks ago we copied int
our columns from the Rochester, N. Y.
Democrat and Chronicle "a Remark.
able Statement" made by J. B. Hen
ion, M. D., gentleman who is vel
known in this city. In that article
DR.. Henion recounted wonderful
experience which befell him, and q
few days thereafter we published from
the same paper a second article, Civ
ing an account of the "Excitement il
Rochester" caused by Henion's state,
ment. In the first article DIR. Hen.
ion stated that for number Of years
| up to last June, he had been afflicted
with what seemed at first a most mys.
FERROUS trouble. He felt unaccount.
ably tired at frequent intervals; he
had dull and indefinite pains in vari,
GUS parts of his body and head, and
was very hungry one day and entirely
without appetite the next. However
as physician he thought, and SO did
his fellow physicians, that be was suf.
iering from malaria.
But yet he grew worse, and was fn-
ally obliged to give up large and lu-
crative 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 weakened.
The symptoms above described con-
tiuued, accompanied by others of an
aggravated nature, and he noticed a
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
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 the victim
OF 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 be grew steadily and CONSTANT
~ worse until his life became q tor
ture. His pulse was uncomfortable.
He lived wholly by injections, and
for six days and nights he had the
hiccoughs constantly, which are con-
sidered the sure indications of COM
ing death. fssssasg 8
When hope and life were nearly
exhausted his pastor, The Rev. DIR.
Foote, Rector of St. PAul's church,
strongly urged him to try i q means
which the reverend gentleman had
seen used with remarkable results.
He objected at first, but finally con.
scented, and was conscious Of ~ i'm
proved condition the Hrst week : His
pains gradually disappeared, his
stomach resumed digestion; his heart
became regular; his headaches disap-
peared; he bad no more chills and
fever, or acidity Of the ssomach; he
gained twenty-six pounds in three
months, and d well man to-day, be.

died, yet none Of the number knew

was removeing them. Instead of
common symptoms it often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly

The second article entitled Excite
ment 10 Rochester" was made up Of
interviews with DR.. Henion himself,
who confirmed all said in his card.
and also with Mr.. H.rH. Warner.
The latter gentleman did not regard
DR.. Henion's case as particularly, ex-l
cepiional, because he had known; of
very many such cures by the same
means in all parts of the land. Kid

tens of thousands every year, while

not realize it or seek to check il until
too late. He related how a New

on this disease, thinking to show his
class what healthy fluids were, sub
