EXCITEMENT UNABATED.
Proof that That Physician's Terrible Confession Is True. [Cleveland (0.) Herald.] Yesterday and the day before we copied into our columns, from the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, a remarkable statement, 'made by J. B. Henion, M.D., a gentleman who is well known in this city. In that article Dr Henion recounted a wonderful experience which befell him, and the next day we published from the same paper a second article, giving an account of the excitement in Rochester, and elsewhere, caused by Dr. Henion’s statement It is doubtful if any two articles were ever published which caused greater commotion both among professionals and laymen. Since the publication of these two articles, having been besieged with letters of inquiry, we sent a communication to Dr. Henion and also to H. H. Warner & Co., asking if any additional proof could be given, and here it is: Gentlemen: I owe my life and present health wholly to the power of Warners Safe Cure, which snatched me from the very brink of the grave. It is not surprising that people should question the statement I made (which is true in every respect), for my recovery was as great a marvel to myself as’to my physicians and friends. * * * J. B. Henion, M. D. Rochesteb, N. Y., Jan. 21. Sms: The best proof we can give you that the statements made by Dr. Henion are entirely true, and would not have been published unless strictly so, is the following testimonial from the best citizens of Rochester, and a card published by Rev. Dr. Foote. H. H. Wabneb & Co.
To whom it may concern: We are personally or by reputation acquainted with Dr. Henion, and we believe he would publish no statement not literally true. We are also personally or by reputation well acquainted with H. H. Warner & Co., proprietors of Warner’s Safe Cure (by which Dr. Henion says he was cured), whose commercial and personal standing in this community are of the highest order, and we believe that they would not publish any statements which were not literally and strictly true in every particular.

Fenneb, (ex-District Attorney Monroe Counter.) J. M. Davy, (ex-Member Congress, Rochester.) John S. Morgan, (County Judge, Monroe Co.) Hieam Sibley, (Capitalist and Seedsman.) John Van Voobhis, (ex-Member of Congress.) 2"o the Editor of the Living Church, Chicago, 111.: There was published in the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle of the 31st of December, a statement made by J. B. Henion, M 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. I was referred to in that statement, as having recommended and urged Dr. Henion to Sthe remedy, which he did, and was cured. e statement of Dr. Henion is true, so far as it concerns myself, and I believe it to be true in all other respects. He was a parishioner of mine and I visited him in his sickness. I urged him to take the medicine, and would do the same again to any one who was troubled with a disease of the kidneys and liver. IsbAel Foote (D. D.), (Late) Rector of St Paul’s Episcopal Church. Rochester, N. Y. It seems impossible to doubt further in the face of such conclusive proof.
