WHAT TWO MINISTER'S SAID.
A Searching Inquiry as to Mrs. Hen
derson's Past and Present Con-
dition, and the Results Which
Were Obtained
New York Press.

a few DAYS since there was pub
lished in this paper one of the most
remarkable letters ever written by
any woman. Some of the statements
made and facts it contained were so
unusual and the interest, not to say
excitement, occasioned was so great,
that an investigation for the benefit
of the public seemed a necessity. In
the pursuit of such investigation l
visited Port Chester, \. Y, and at
the hotel, on the street. and IN the
stores, heard great deal of talk
on the very subject l was investigat-
ing. Rev. Ernest l.. Scott. after |
had explained what wished said:
Nearly year ago / first met Mrs.
j. Henderson. who resides at No. 3l5
Westchester avenue. | called to see
her in company with Hon. Addison
johnson. and must confess that l
have seldom seen anyone i'll so de
plorable a condition. My first view
almost unnerved me, She was so
unstrung. and with the most danger
Gus dropsical condition she told me
how she had suffered, how her sister
had come To prepare the house for
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.
The next time | saw Mrs. Hender-
son was early in the present year.
| could hardly believe what | saw.
She was well, healthy and no trace
of the dropsical trouble; indeed she
seemed to be in perfect health. Nat
urally | was amazed and asked her
the cause, She said. with tears
streaming from her eyes: Il owe it
all to the grand remedy. Warmers
Safe Cure Her husband spoke up
at once and said. Eyes, that is the
secret of my wife's recovery and al
ter l have seen what the Safe Cure
has done for my wife, I am confident
that it will relieve any case of
Bright's disease and cure any one
whose constitution is not wasted
away"
Rev. Samuel Q. Curtice, pastor of
the Methodist church at Port Ches-
ter. said to me: Yes. l know all
about Mrs. Henderson's troubles,
which were caused by a bad case of
Bright's disease. She had been Civ
en- up and / was called in to baptise
ler. instead OF Inal talked ana
prayed with her and then withdrew.
/ called again the next day and per-
formed the ceremony. Her'rapid re-
covery to her present state of health
and strength is. really wonderful"
Hon. ADDISON Johnson. member of
the board of supervisors. and their
delegate to the assembly at Albany,
said: Il have known all about Mrs.
Henderson's case. Her death was
expected daily for a long time. She
was the sickest person l ever saw
that lived. Certainly any remedy
that could perform such wonders
must be a marvellous one
The conclusions from my investi-
cations are these, namely: that one
of the most remarkable cures on rec
ord has been accomplished in Port
Chester. 1t is that of a lady who.
when taken i'll. went from bad to
worse. " until brought to deaths door
by the worst of all known diseases.
and Vet is today well and happy.
The experience of Mrs. Henderson
should prove n valuable one to all
readers who may be treading the
same dangerous path. viz: treating
symptoms instead of what causes
them, and not realizing their great
danger until IN many eases too late
for human aid.
