the Results which Were Obtained.
New York PresAl
A few days since there was published
IN this paper one OF the most remarka-
BILE letters ever written by any woman.
Some of the statements made and facts
1t contained were SO unusual and the
interest, not to say excitement, occa-
stoned was so great, that an inyestiga-
ton for the benefit of the public seemed
a necessity. In the pursuit of such in
vestigation l visited Port Chester, N. ",
and at the hotel, on the street and in
the stores heard great deal of talk ON
the very subject / was investigating.
Rev. Ernest l.. Scott, after l had ex-
planned what 1 wished, said:
-" Nearly a year ago first met Mrs. j..
Henderson, who resides at 3l5 West
chester avenue. l called to see her in
company with Hon. Addison johnson,
and must confess that / have seldom
seen anyone in so deplorable condition.
My first view almost unnerved me, she
was so weak, her nerves SO unstrung,
and with the most dangerous dropsical
condition. She told me how she had sut-
fered, how her sister had come to pre-
pare the house for her expected funeral,
and she continued, 'words cannot tell
the story Of my sufferings.' withdrew
from the house feeling that it was the
hast time should ever see her alive.
The next time l saw Mrs. Hender-
son was early in the present year.
could hardly believe what l saw. She
was well, healthy, had no trace of the
dropsical trouble indeed, she seemed to
be in perfect health. Naturally was
amazed and asked her the cause. She
said, with tears streaming from her
eyes Il owe 1T all to that grand rem
edy. Warmers Safe Cure Her husband
spoke up at once and said: Yes, that
is the secret of my wife's recovery, and
done for my wife / am confident that it
will relieve any case of Bright's disease,
and cure anyone whose constitution is
not wasted away"
Rev. Samuel q. Curtice, pastor of the
Methodist church at Port Chester, said
TO me: "Yes, know all about Mrs.
Henderson's troubles, which were caused
by a bad case of Bright's disease.
She had been given up and was called
in to baptise her. Instead Of that
talked and prayed with her and then
withdrew. / called again the next day
and performed the ceremony. Her
rapid recovery to her present state of
health and strength is really wonder
full"
Hon. Addison johnson, member of
the Board of Supervisors, and their del
egate to the Assembly at Albany, said |:
- have known all about Mrs. Hen
derson's case. Her death was expected
daily for long time. She was the sickest
person / ever saw that lived. Certainly
any remedy that could perform such
wonders must be marvellous one."
The conclusions from my investiga-
tioDs are these, namely; That one of the
most remarkable cures ON record has
been accomplished in Port Chester. 1t
is that of lady who, when taken i'll,
''went from bad to worse, until brought
to deaths door by the worst Of all dis
eases, and yet is to-day well and happy.
The experience of Mrs. Henderson
should prove valuable one to all read
ers who may be treading the same dam
gerous path, viz: treating symptoms in
stead of what causes them, and not real
izing their great danger until in many
cases too late for human aid.
