WOMAN'S WORDS TO WOMEN
Certainly the Most Unusual That yer
We're Penned.
MRS. HENDERSON OF PORT CHESTER.
She Graphically Tells of Her Troubles.
Her Struggles and Her Trlumphs.

few days since there was published in
this paper one of the most remarkable let
ters ever written by any woman. Some of
the statements made and facts it con-
tanned were so unusual anu the interest,
not to say excitement, occasioned was so
great, that an investigation for the benefit
of the public seemed necessity. In the
pursuit of such investigation | visited
Port Chester, n. Y, and at the hotel. on
the street, and in the stores, 1 heard a
great deal OF talk on The very subject l
was investigating. Rev. Ernest L. Scott,
after had explained what wished, said:
''Nearly year ago I first met Mrs. J.
Henderson, who resides at No. 315 West
chester Avenue. / called to see her in
company with Hon. Addison Johnson.
and must confess that have seldom seen
any one in so deplorable a condition.
My first view almost unnerved me, she
was so weak. her nerves so unstrung and
with the most dangerous dropsical con-
Gition. She told me how she had SUI
fered, how her sister had come to prepare
the house for her expected funeral, and
she continued, words cannot tell the
story Of my sufferings.' l withdrew from
the house feeling that it was the last
time | should ever see her alive.
1.-THE next time | saw Mrs. Henderson
was early in the present year. / could
hardly believe what saw. She was well,
healthy, had no trace of the dropsical
trouble; indeed, she seemed to be in per-
feet health. Naturally was amazed and
asked her the cause. She said, with
tears streaming from her eyes: 4 owe it
all to that grand remedy, Warmers Safe
Cure. Her husband spoke up at once,
and said, Yes, that is the secret of my
wife's frecovery, aud after l have
seen what the Safe Cure has done for my
wife, l am confident that it viii relieve
any case of BrighI's disease and cure any
one whose constitution is not wasted
away -
Rev. Samuel o. Curtice, pastor of the
Methodist church at Port Chester, said to
me: eyes, know all about Mrs Hen
derson' S troubles, which were caused by
bad case of Bright's disease. She had
been given up and l Nar called in to bap-
tise her. Instead of that I talked and
prayed with her and then withdrew.
called again the next day and reformed
the ceremony. Her rapid recovery to her
present state Of health and strength is re-
ally wonderful
Honorable Addison Johnson, member
of the board Of supervisors, and their del
egate to the assembly at Albany, said: ''I
have known all about Mrs. Henderson's
case. Her death was expected dally for a
long time. She was the sickest person
ever saw that lived. Certainly any rem
edy that could perform such wonders must
be marvellous one.''
The conclusions from my Investigations
are these, namely: that one of the most
remarkable cures on record has been
accomplished IL Port Chester. 1t is that
of lady who, when taken i'll event from
bad to worse, until brought to death 8
door by the worst Of all known diseases,
and yet is today well and happy. The
experience OF Mrs. Henderson should
prove valuable one to all readers who
may be treading the same dangerous
path, viz: treating symptoms instead of
what causes them,f and not realizing
their great danger until in many cases
too late for human aid.
