To the Editor Of the Lifting Church, Chi

There was published in the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle Of the SlsG OF De-
ce,nber. a statement made by ]. 3. Henion,
III. D., narrating how he had been cured OF
Bright's disease of the kidneys, almost IN
its last stages, by the use of Warner's Safe
Cure. Twas referred to in that statement,
as having recommended and urged Or.
Henion to try the remedy, which he DID,
and was cured. The statement OF Ut.
Henion is true, so far as 1t concerns my
SELF. and believe it to be true in all other
respects. He was parishioner of mine
and | visited him in his sickness. urged
him to take the medicine and would do the
same again to any one who was troubled
with disease of the kidneys and liver.
