the following from the same paper shows
Dr. j. B. Henion. who is well known mo-
only in Rochester, but in nearly every par
Of America, sent an extended article to thi.
paper few days since which wasduly pub

and rescue from what seemed to be Certain
death. 1t would be impossible to enumer

made at our office as to the validity OF til,
article, but they have been so numerou.
that further investigation of the subject was
deemed an editorial necessity.
With this end in view a representative q
this paper called on DIR. Henion at his resi-
dence on ST. Paul street, when the followin.
interview occurred: "That article of yours
