AN UNUSUGL PURoRE.

ums from the Rochester, N. Y, Dmocrd
and Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement
made by ]. D. Heniou, n. D., gentleman
I who is well known in this Gig. In that
article DR.. Henion recounted wonderful
experience which beiell him, and few
days thereafter We publish from the same
paper a second article, giving an account
Of the Excitement in Rochester," caused
by DR.. Henion's statement In the fiBt
article Dr.. Henion stated thatfor number
Of years,up to last June, he had been aiIlict-
ed with what seemed at first a most mys.
FERROUS trouble. IIe felt unaccountably
tired at frequent intervals; he had dull and
indefinite pains In various parts ofhis body
and head, and was very hungry one day
and entirely without appetite tho next.
However rs a physician he thought, and so
did his fellow physiclAns, that he was SUI
fering from malaria.
But he grew worse, and was finally
obliged to give up 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 IN aggravated
nature, and he noticed q peculiar color
and odor about the fluids he was passing;
that they were abundant one day and very
seanty the next, and were covered with
frotb, or filled with brick dust sediment
But even then he did not realize his real
and alarming condition. At last however,
heiwas brought face 10 face with the fact that
no was aVictim Of q 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
steadily and constantly worse until his life
became torture. His pulse was uncon.
trollable. Helived wholly by injections,and
for days and nights he had the hic:coughs
constantly, which are considered the sure
indications Of coming death. When hope
and life were nearly exhausted his pastor,
the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector Of st. Pauls
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 tho
first week. His pains gradually disappear.

heart became regular; his headaches disap-
peared; he had no more chills and fever,
or acidity 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 consequences
from his professional brethren, still as a
duty TO his fellow men, and according to a
vow he made on what he thought was his
dying bed, no published card detailing
his illness and remarkable cure. "Since
my recovery" he says, l have thoroughly

more than one-half the deaths which
occur in America are caused by Bright's
disease OF the kidneys. 1t has no distinc-
tive symptoms Of its own Indeed, it often
develops without any pain whatever in the

ious nature. 1t steals into the system like
a thief, manifests its presence by the COM
monest symptoms, and fastens itself upon
the life before the victim Is aware. It is
nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite
as common and fully rs fatal. Entire iami-
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 disease"
The second article entitled Excitement
in Rochester, was made up OF interviews
with DR.. Henion himself who confirmed
all said in his card, and also with MIR. II.
Fl. Warner. The latter gentleman did not
regard Dr.. Henions case as particularly
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 disease is increasing $50 per
cent, a decade, and yet the people do not
realize it or seek to check 1t until too late.
He related how a New Orleans medical
professor, lecturing on this disease, think.

were, subjected some OF his own 10 chem.
ical test, and although he had no suspic-
ions Of it before, discovered that he, TOO,
had the dreadful disease, which proved
fatal in less than q 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 analysed
the remedy which cured Or. Henion, and
found that It was "entirely free from any
poisonous or leleterlous substances"
