article DIR. Henion recounted a wonderfu
experience which befell him. and a few
days thereafter we published from the sam,
paper a second article giving an ac

caused by DIR. Henion's statement. In thu
tlrst article DIR. Henion stated that for :

brought face to face with the fact that he
was 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

steadily and constantly worse until his life
became torture. His pulse was uncon-

and for SIX days and nights he had the hic-

the sure indications of coming death.

Although consc ious of the consequences
from his professional brethren, still az
duty to his fellow men, ard according to
VOW he made on what he thought was
his dying bed, he published card de-
failing his illness and remarkable cure.
"Since my recovery" he says, Il have

DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN AMERICA 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

disease of kidneys. Few physicians, and
fewer people, realize the extent of this
disease or its dangerous and 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 is nearly
as hereditary as consumption, quite as
common and fully as fatal. Entire fami-
lies, inheriting 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 it often shows none
whatever, but brings death suddenly and
as such is usually supposed to be heart

The second article, entitled Excitement
in Rochester" was made up of interviews
with DIR. Henion himself, who confirmed
all said in his card, and also with Mr.. III.
III. 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 off 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
New Orleans medical professor, Iectur-
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 celebrated 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 thst
st was ''entirely free from poisonous or
deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in
order that all the material facts may be
set 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 II. II. Warner & Co., asking if any
additional proof could be given 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 I owe my life and present
health wholly to the power of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It is not
surprising that people should question
the statement / made. for my recovery
was as great marvel to myself, as to my
physicians and friends.
