Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We published in our local columns

by reputation to nearly every person
in the land. We have received num-
Der of letters prostesting against the
use of our columns for such ''palpable
frauds and misrepresentation" there

authenticity of the letter, and the gen
uineness of its sentiments. reporter OF
this paper was commissioned to asccr-
tain all the possible facts in the matter.
Accordingly he visited Clifton Spring.
saw the author of the letter, and with
the following result:
DIR. Henry Foster. the gentleman in
question, is IS or "a years of age and
has an extremely cordial manner. He
presides as superintendent over the eel
ebrated sanitarium which accommo-
dates over 500 guests and is unquestion-
ably the leading health resort of the
country. Several years ago this benevo-
lent man wisely determined to be his
own executor; and. therefore turned
over this magnificent property worth
$500, 900. as free gift to board of
trustees, representing the principal
evangelical denominations. Among the
trustees are Bishop A. c. Coke, Protes-
tant Episcopal. Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
Simpson. Philadelphia. Methodist

institution is the care: lst.-of evangeli-
cal missionaries and their families
whose health has been broken in their
work. 2nd.-of ministers. of any de-
nomination. in good standing. 3rd.-
of members of any church; who other
wise would be uHable to secure such
care and treatment. The current eN-
penses of the institution are met by the
receipt from the hundreds of disting-
uishcd and wealthy people who every
year crowd its utmost capacity. Here
come men and women who were once
in perfect health, but neglected the first
symptoms of disease. The uncertain
pains they felt at first were overlooked
until their health was impaired. They
little realized the danger before them.

fessors and officials from all parts of
the land.

skeptical concerning that letter. re-
marked the doctor.

II don't know how II may be with
others. but in the institution we allow
no person to dictate TO us what we shall
