A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.
The Unusual Experience of a Prominent
Wan Mude Public,


Man Made Public,
The following article from the Democrat ana
Chronicle, of Rochester, N. Y, is of so striking
a nature, and emanates from so reliable
source. that it is herewith republished entire.
In addition to the valuable matter it contains,
it will be found exceedingly interesting:
To the Editor Of the Democrat and Chronicle.
SIR My motives for the publication OF the
most unusual statements which follow are;
first gratitude for the fact that have been
saved from most horrible death, and, second
~, d desire to warn all who read this statement
against some OF the most deceptive influences
by which they have ever been surrounded. Ii
is a fact that to-day thousands of people are
within foot of the grave and they do not know
it. To tell how | was caught away from just
this position and to warn others against nesr-
ing 1t are my objects in this communication.
On the first day of June, 1881, lay at my
residence in this city surrounded by my friends
and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the
sgony l then endured, for words can never de-
scribe it. And yet. if a few years previous, any
one had told me that l was to be brought so
low, and by so terrible disease, should have
scoffed az the idea. / had always been I'M
commonly strong and healthy, had weighed
over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own
experience, what pain or sickness were Very
many people who will read this statement re-
slize at times that they are unusually tired and
cannot account for it. They feel dull and in
definite pains In various parts of the body and
do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely without appetite
the next. This was just the way l felt when
the relentless malady which had fastened itself
upon me first began. Still l thought it was
nothing; that probably l had taken cold
which would soon pass away Shortly after
this l noticed q dull, and at times
neuralgia, pain in my head, but as it would
come one day and be gone tue next, paid but
little attention to it. However, my omach
was out of order and my food often failed TO
digest causing at times great inconvenience
Yet l had no idea, even IS physician, thst
these things meant anything serious or that q
monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon
me. Candidly, / thought was suffering from
Malaria and so doctorsd myself accordingly
But got no better. next noticed peculiar
color snd odor shout the fluids / was passing
also that there were large quantities one day
and very little the next and that q persistent
froth snd scum appeared upon the surface,
and a sediment settled in the bottom. And
yet l did not realize my danger, for, indeed
seeing these symptoms continually. / finally
became accustomed to them. and my suspicion
| was wholly dissrmei by the fact that had no
psin in the affected organs or in their vicinity
Why I should have been so blind l cannot:
understand.
There is terrible future for all physical
neglect, and impending danger usually brings

be too lste. / realized, az last, nv critical
