The following article is from the Demo.

50 striking nature and emsnates from 80
reliable source, thati It is herewith re-

exceedingly interesting:
To dc Editor Of he Democrat and Chronicle:
sm:-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,
secondly, desire to warn all who read
this statement against some OF the most de-
ceptye Influences by which they have ever
been surrounded. It Is 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 posi-
ton and TO warn Others against nearing It,
are my objects in this communication.
On the first day Of June, 1881, l lay at
my residence in this city surrounded by
my friends and waiting for death. Heaven
only knows the agony then endured, Tor
words can never describe 1t. And yet, iii
few years previous, any one had told me
that / was TO be brought 80 low, and by 80

strong and healthy, and weighed over two
hundred pounds and hardly knew, In my
own experience, what pain or sickness
were. Very many people who will read
this statement realizeat times that they are
unusually tired and cannot account for It.
They feel dull and indefinite pains in yari-
GUS parts OF the body and do not under
stand 1t. Or they are exceedingly hungry
one day and entirely without appetite the
next. This was just the way felt when the
relentless malady which had fastened itself
upon me first began. Still, 1 thought 1t

cold which would soon pass away. Shortly
after this noticed heavy, and at times
neuralgia, pain In my head, but as 1t
would come one day and be gone tho next,
paid but little attention to 1t. However,
INV stomach was out OF order 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 INDUSTRIOUS

that persistent froth and scum appeared
upon the surface, and sediment settled
in the bottom. And yet did not realize
my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symp-
toms continually, I finally became accus,
toned to them, and my suspicion was
wholly disarmed by the fact that had no
pain in the affected organs or in their
vicinity. Why I should have been 80
blind cannot understand. /

my critical condition and aroused myself
to overcome 1t. And, Oh! how hard tried

land. I visited all the prominent mineral
springs in America and travelled from
Maine to California. Still grew worse.
No two physicians agreed as TO my malady.
One said l was troubled with spinal irrita-
ton; another, nervous prostration; another,
malaria; another, dyspepsia; another, heart
disease, another, general debility another,
congestion OF the base OF the brain, and so
on through long list OF common diseases,
the symptoms OF all OF which l really had.
In this way several years passed, during
all OF which time was steadily growing
worse. My condition had really become
pitiable. The slight symptoms l at first
experienced were developed into terrible
and constant disorders-the little twigs Of
