experiences during his residence in SYRIA.

possible to say, but a reporter Immediate

in question, and secured the following in

of some important mattersp

one of the most wonder .ul ordeals that per-

intimation I had of it was several years
ago, when 1 began to feel chilly at night
and restless after retiring. Occasionally
this would be varied by soreness of the
muscles and cramps in my arms and legs.

though, that every ply steal neglect must

can not draw drafts on their constitution
without honoring them sometimes. These
minor symptoms I have described, grew

true for my feet became cold, my mouth
parched, my eyes wore a fixed CLASSY

and friends.''

The statement drawn out BY the abovss
interview is amply confirmed by very
maay of our most prominent. citizens,
Colonel James S. Goodrich of the Times,
while General Dwight H. Bruce and Rev.
Pro-. W. P. Coddington, D. D., give the
remedy their heartiest endorsement. In
this age of wonders, surprising things are
quite common but an experience SO unusual
as that pf Dr. Martins and occurring here
in our midst. may well cause comment and
teach lesson. It shows the necessity OF
guarding the slightest approach of physi-
cal disorder and by the means which has
beenzproven the most reliable and efficient.

and yet be rescued and proves. shat few
people need suffer if these truths are OBJ
