A few weeks ago we copied into
our columns from the Rochester. N. V,
Democrat and Chronicle a Remarka-
bic Statement" made by J. B. Henion,
Nj. d.. a gentlemen who is well known
in this city. In that article DR. Henion
recounted wonderful experience
which befell him, and a few days there
after we published from the same paper
a second article, giving an account of
the Excitement in Rochester, caused
by DIR. Henions 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 fist most mysterious 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 a physician he thought,
and so did his fellow physicians, that
he was suffering from malaria.
But yet he grew worse, and was
finally obliged to give up a 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 an aggra-
waited 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 brick
dust sediment. But even then he did
not realize his real and alarming con-
dition. Atlast, however. he was brought
face to face with the fact that he was
victim of Il 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 NOR
phine. And so he grew steadily and
constantly worse until his life became
torture. His pulse was uncOntrola-
BILE. He lived wholly by injections,
and for six days and nights he had the
hiccoughs constantly, which are con-
sidered the sure indications o. coming
death.
When hope and life were nearly
exhausted, his pastor, the Rev. DR..
Foote, rector of St. Paul's Church.
strongly urged him to try means
which the reverend gentlemen had
seen used with remarkable results.
He objected at first, but finally con-
scented, and was conscious of an i'm
proved condition the first week. His
pains gradually disappeared; his stom-
ach resumed digestion; his heart be-
came 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 conse- |
quences from his professional brethren,
still as a duty to his fellow men, and |
according to vow he made on what |
he thought was his dying bed, he pub |
llshed card detailing his illness and |
remarkable cure. Since my recovery" |
he says, II have thoroughly reinvesti-
gated the subject of kidney difficulties |
and Brights disease, and | believe |
more than One-hGlf the DEATHS Uhich occur |
IN america are caused By Brighfs desease
Of the kidneys. 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 peo- !
pie die daily whose burials are author |
lied by a physicians certificate of !
Heart Disease" "Apoplexy," "Paraly- |
sis, Spinal Complaint, Rheumatism" |
Pneumonia" and other common com |
plants, when in reality it was Bright's |
disease of the Kidneys Few physi-
clans, and fewer people, realize the /
extent of this disease or its dangerous |
and insidiOus nature. 1t steals into |
the system like a 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 |
cestOrs, have died, and yet none of the |
number knew or realized the myster
iOus power which was removing them.
Instead of common symptoms it often
shows none whatever, but brings death |
suddenly, and as such is usually sup
posed to be heart disease"
The second article entitled Excite
ment in Rochester" was made up of |
interviews with DR.. Henion himself,
who confirmed all said in his card, and
also with Mr.. III. II. Warner The
latter gentleman did not regard DIR.
HeniOn's case as particularly excep- |
tional, 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 Oft tens
of thousands every year. while Brights |
disease is increasing $50 per cent. a
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, lecturing on this disease, |
thinking to show his class what healthy |
fluids were, subjected some of his own |
to a chemical test, and although he |
had nosuspiciOn of it before, discovered |
that he, too, had the dreaded disease,
which proved fatal in less than year. |
There was also an interview with the |
celebrated chemist of the New York |
State Board of Health, DR. S. A. Latti |
more, who said he had analyzed the |
remedy which cured DIR. HeniOn, and
found that it was entirely free from |
any poisonous or deleterious substan- |
ces"
We have made these condensations !
in order that all the material facts may
be set before Our readers. Since the |
publication of these two articles, having
been besieged with letters of inquiry, |
wesent a communication to Dr. Henion
and also one to III. II. Warner & Co, |
asking if any additional proof could
be given us rs 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 state
ment hitherto made:
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Feb. ,, 1882.
GENTLEMEN: Your favor is received.
The published statement, over my
signature, to which you refer, is true
in every respect, and | owe my life
and present health wholly to the power
of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. 1t is not surprising that people
should question the statement | made,
for my recovery was as great marvel
to myself, as to my physicians, and
