A Searching Inquiry as to Mrs. Bender-

the Results which Were Obtained.


few DAYS since there was published In
this paper one of the most remarkable let
tiers 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 an investigation l visited Port
Chester, N. Y, and at the hotel, on the
street, and in the stores, heard a great
deal of talk on the very subject was IN
vestigating. Rev. Ernest L. Scott, after l
had explained what 1 wished, said;
Nearly year ago 1 first met MRS. D.
Henderson. who resides at No. 3l5 West
chester avenue. l called to see her in com
pauy with Hon. Addison Johnson, and
must confess that l have seldom seen any
one in so deplorable a condition. My first
view almost unneryed me, she was so
weak. her nerves so unStrung, and Win
the most dangerous dropslcal conoltlon.
She told me how she had suffered, how her
sister had come to prepare the house Tor
her expected funeral, and, she continued,

asked her the cause. She said, with tears
streaming from her eyes: Il owe IL Oil 10

Hon. Addison Johnson. member OF the

known all about Mrs. Henderson's case.
Rer death was expected daily for long
time. She was the sickest person l ever

that could perform such wonders must be
a marvellous one"
The conclusions from my Investigations
are these, namely: that one of the most re-
markable cures on record has been accom-
plished in Port Chester. II is that OF a

! Mrs. Henderson should prove valuable
one to all readers who may be treading the
same dangerous path, viz: treating symp-
toms instead of what causes them. and not
realizing their great danger until in many
cases too late for human aid.
