The recent sad and sudden death Of Hon
Clarkson N Potter IS one of the most serious
warnings ever given In the long list Of innumer
Able cAses Of ktal neglect. 1t s NOT sufficient 10
say that many other brilliant men, including Ev-
efett, sumner, Chase, Wood, Wilson and Car
penier, were swept away by the same fatal
trouble. The question Is. were thu &c men sufi-
cientiy careful with their health, ana could they
have beea savedf The Albany Arv&s, in speak
ing Of Mr.. PotIer's sudden illness and death,
says;
One Of the physicians who attended Mr.
Potter here was interviewed last evening BE
stated that Mr.. Potter's inability to converse had
fnf some lime served 10 battle the physieians in
their efforts to determine the root Of his illaess
II seems, however, that Mr. Potter, some two
years ago, Suffered slight attack OF kidney dis
ease Unwise dependence upon . robust consti-
tuition and naturally perfect health, and neglect
Of proper clethfng, doubles sOwed the seeds of
q disease that needed but some such personal
neglect as that Of Tuesday morning TO develop.
From the symptoms 1t 6rst shown, it was
- - A. 4 -
uation; but his long continuance in . semi
unconscious state led % the belief that his illness
was seated in q chronic difficulty more myste-
rious and dangerous.
Up 10 the latter part Of last year Mr. Edward
+. Rook, Q member of the New York stock ex-
change, was doing business in Wall street, New
York. He had everything % encourage him
and make life happy but was the victim Of un-
accountable uneasinesa His experience, as de-
scrbed by one who knew, was - follows: AT
unexpected times, and on occasions when he
had the greatest reason 20 feel Joyous be was rri

experiencing no acute pain, had dull. aching sen

Shortly afterward his head began 70 ache most
frequently and his stomach failed TO digest prop-

He was flushed and feveriSh, constantly uneasy,
and YET always weary He had IN intense appe-

Was irregular, his breathing lab0red, and every
