He began practice at Melbourne, Canada, in 1860, which he continued till 1864, when he came to Illinois, and located at Rockton. He pursued the practice of medicine at that place till September, 1868, when he came to Fulton, this county, and has been in practice here continuously since.

The Doctor votes the Republican ticket; is a member of the Order of the Knights of Honor of Iowa, and of Camp No. 2 of the Modern Woodmen of Fulton. Dr. Bryning has had 35 years' experience in the practice of medicine, 17 of which he has passed at Fulton. His practice extends to neighboring counties, and has reached very flattering and lucrative proportions. He has certainly been eminently successful, and success is the standard by which the world forms its judgment.
