SIR:--My motives for the publication Of the most
unusual statements which follow are, first, graf
itude for tho fact that have been saved from q
most horrible death, and, secondly desire TO warn
most deceptive influences by which they have ever
been surrounded II Is fact that to-day thousands
Of people arc within foot Of the grave and they
do not know IT, 10 tell how was caught away
from Just this position aud TO warn Others against

cannot account for It, They feel duh and indefinite
palms In various parts Of the body ana do not uli-
dcrstand IT, Or they arc exceedingly hungry one
