a nature, and emanatcs from so reliable
source, that It is herewith re-published entire.

it will be found exceedingly interesting:
TO the Editor Of The Dem6crdt and Cirontcle:
sIR:-My motives for the publication OF the
most unusual statements which follow are,
first, gratitude for the fact that have been
saved from a most horrible death, and second
ly, desire to warn all, who read this state
ment against some Of the most deceptive In

people are within foot of the grave and they
do not know It. To tell how ] was caught

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 agony then endured for words can never
describe It, And yet, II few years previous,

so low, and by so terrible disease, / should
have scoffed at the idea. i had always been

over 200 pounds aud hardly knew, In my own

fastened itself upon me first began. Still /

and my food often failed to digest, causing at
times great inconvenience. Yet had no idea,
even as q physician, that these things meant
anything serious or that monstrous disease

there were large quantities one day and very
little the next, and that persistent froth and

not realize my danger, for indeed, seeing
these symptoms continually, finally became
accustomed to them, and my suspicion was
wholly disarmed by the fact that had no pain
