| umns from the Rochester n Y. Democrat
and Chronicle "A Remarkable Statement
made by j. b. Henion, NJ. D., a gentleman
who is we'll known in this city. In that
article DR.. Henion recounted wonderful
experience which befell him, and few
days thereafter we published from the same
paper second article giving an ac-
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 be had
been afflicted with what seemed at first a
most mysterious trouble. He felt unac-
| coun.ably tired at frequent intervals he
had du.l and indefinite pains in various
parts OF his body and head, and was very
hungry one dag and entirely without APP
petite the next. However. as : physician
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
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 continued,
accompanied hy others of an aggravated
nature, and he noticed a peculiar color and
odoI 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 alarm
ing condition. At last, however, he was
brought face to face with the fact that he
was a victim of the 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 constantly worse until his life
became torture. His pulse was uncon-
trollable. He lived wholly by injections,
and for six days and nights he had the hic-
coughs constantly, which are considered
the sure indications of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly ex-
hausted his pastor, the Rev. DIR. Foote,
rector OF st. Paul's church, strongly urged
him to try a means which the reverend
gentleman has seen used with remarkable
results. He objected at first, but finally
consented, and was conscious of an i'm
proved condition the first week His
pains gradually disappeared; his stomach
resumed digestion; his heart became reg
ular; his headache Disappeared he had
no more chills and fever. or acidity of the
stomach; he gained twenty-six pounds in

being entirely cured of a most pronounced
Gaze of Brights disease.
Although conscious of the consaqu ences
from his professional brethren, sGll n a
duty to his fellow men, and according to
a VOW he made on what he thought wac
his dying bed, he published card de-
failing his illness and remarkable cure.
"Since my recovery" he says, II have

DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AnERICA ARE

NEYs. 1t has no distinctive symptoms of
its own Indeed, 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 people die daily whose burials are au-
thorized by Il physician's certificate of
Heart Disease" "Apoplexy," 'Paraly-
sis, Spinal Complaint rheumatism"
"Pneumonia," and other common COM
plants when in reality it was Bfight's
disease of kidneys. Few physicians, and
fewer people, realize the extent of this
disease or its dangerous ahd insidious ma
tuIe. 1t steals into the system like thief,
manifests its presence by the commonest
symptoms, and fastens itself upon the life
before the victim is aware. 1t il nearly
as hereditary as consumption, quite as
common and fully as fatal. Entire fami-
lies, inberiting it 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 il often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly and

The second article entitled Excitement
in Rochester" was made up of interviews
with DR.. Henion himself, who confirm ed
all said in his card and also with Mr.. III.
II. Warner. The latter gentleman did
not regard DR.. Henion's case as particu-
larly 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 Bright's dis
ease is Increasing 250 per cent. decade,
and yet the people do not realize it or seek
to check it until too late. He related how
a New Orleans medical professor, lectur-
ing 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 a
year. There was also an interview with
the celabra ed chemist of the New York
State Board of Health, DR.. S. A. baltimore,
who said he had analyzed the remedy
which cured Dr. HenIon, and found thpt
st was entirely free from poisonous or
deleterious substances"
We have made these CONVERSATIONS in
order that all the material facts may be
get before our readers Since the publica-
ton OF these two articles. having been be
sieged with letters of inquiry, we sent a
communication TO Dr. Henion and also
one to H. II. Warner & Co, asking if any
additional proof could be given us M to
the validity Of the statements published
In answer thereto W. have received the
following letters, which add interest TO the
entire subject, and wholly verify every
statement hitherto made:
Rochester. n. Y, Feb. ., 1882.
