A few weeks ago we copied into our columns
from the Rochester On. " Democrat and
Chronicle "a Remarkable Statement" made
by J. B. Henion, NJ. D., q gentleman wit is
well known in this city. In that article DIR.
Henionrecounted a wonderful experience which
befen him, and . few days thereafter we pub
lished from the same paper a second article,
giving an account of the Excitement in Roch-
ester" caused by DR.. Henion's statement. In
the first article Dr. .Henion stated that for .
number OF years, up to last June, he had been
afflicted with what seemed at first q most mys-
terious trouble. he felt unaccountably tired at
frequent intervals he had dull and indefinite
pains in various parts of his body and head,
and was very hungry one day and entirely
without appetite the next. However, as q ply
Stefan 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 q large and lucrative practice. Still
he was not conscious of his danger, nor hat q
monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon
him, although all his organs had become grad
ually weakened. The symptoms above de-
scribed continued, 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 filled with bfickdust sediment. But even
then he did not realize his real and alarming

face to face with the fact that he was a victim
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
/ be grew steadily and constantly worse until his
life became a torture. His pulse was uncon-
trollable. He lived wholly by injections, and
for six days and nights he had the hiccoughs
constantly, which are considered the sure indi-
cations of coming death.
When hope and life were nearly exhausted,
his pastor, the Rev. DR.. Foote, rector Of st.
Paufs Church, strongly urged him to try q
means which the reverend gentlemrn 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 re-
sumed digestion his heart became regular /;

Although conscious of the consequences from
his professional brethren, still as a duty 10 his
fellow men, and according to q vow he made on
what he thought WAS his dying bed, he pub
lished . card detailing his illness and remark
able cure. "Since my recovery" he says, ST

distinctive symptoms of its own Gndeed, it
often develops without any pain whatever in

and yet none of the number knew or realized

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.. b. 81. Warner. The
latter gentleman did not regard DIR. Henioni
case as particularly exceptional, because he hat
known of very many such cures by the SAM
means in all parts Of the land. Kidney diseases
he said, are carrying OF tens of thousand
every year, while Bright's disease is increasing
$50 per cent. q decade, and yet the people d.
not realize it or seek to check it until too late
He related how q New Orleans medical profes
sor, lecturipg on this disease, thinking to sho,
his class what healthy fluids were, subjects
some of his own to a chemical test, and althougl
he had no suspicion-of it before, discovere
that he, too, had the dreaded disease whicl
proved fatal in less than a year. There wa
also an interview with the celebrated chemif
Of the New York State Board of Health. DIR. s
A. baltimore, who said he had analysed th
remedy which cured DIR. Henion, and foun
that it was "entirely free from any poisonou
or deleterious substances"
We have made these condensations in orde
that all the material facts may be set befoI
u readers. Since the publication Of these tw
articles, having been besieged with letters {
inquiry, we sent q communication to ID
Henion and also one to H. 81. Warner & Co
asking il any additional proof could be given I
as to the validity Of the statements publishet
In answer thereto We have received the follov
ing letters, which add interest to the entil
subject and wholly verify every statemel
hitherto made:
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Feb. 2, 1889.
GENTLEMEN Your favor is received. II

which you refer is true in every respect, and
owe my life and present health wholly to Il

It is not surprising that people should questie
the statement I made, for my recovery was 9
great q marvel to myself, as to my physician
and friends.
