Discovered Barely in Time The Most Decenl

calIy Described.
Something of a sensation was caused in this
city yesterday by a rumor that one Of our
b2st known citizens was about to publish a
statement concerning some unusual expert
ences during his residence in Syracuse. How
the rumor originated it is impossible to say,
but a reporter Immediately sought Doctor S.
G. Martin, the gentleman in question, and Sc
cured the following interview:
'What about this rumoT, Doctor, that you
are going to make public statement of some
important mattersN
Gust about the same as you will find In all
rumors-some truth; some fiction. had
contemplated making public alton of some
remarkable episodes that have occurred in
my life, but have not completed it as yet.
''What is the nature of it, may inquire"
"Why, the fact that am q human bei1g
instea I of spirit. / have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals that per-
laps ever occurred TO any man, The first in
t~ation had of it was several years ago,
when l began to feel chilly at night and rest
less after retiring. Occasionally this would
be varied by a soreness Of the muscles aud
cramps in my arms and legs. Thought, as
most people would think, that it was only
cold and so paid as little attention to 1t as
possible. Shortly after this l noticed pc
cul ar catarrhal trouble and my throat also
became inaamed. As if this were not va
riety enough l felt sharp pains in my chest,
and constant tendency to headache"
"Why didn't you take the matter in hand
and check it right where it was I"
"Why doesn't everybody do so Simply
because they think it is only some trifing and
passing disorder. These troubles did not
come all at once and thought it unmanly to
heed them. l have found, though, that
every physical neglect must be paid for and
on their constitution without honoring them
sometime. These minor symptoms | have
described, grew until they were giants of
agony | became more nervous; hal q
strange fluttering of the hearti an inability
to draw long breath and an occasional
numbness that was terribly suggestive of
paralysis. How could have been 50 blind
as not to understand what this meant l can
not imagine"
"And did you 90 nothing /"
eyes, | Travelled. In the spring of 1879
went to Kansas and Colorado, and while in
Denver, Twas attacked with mysterious
hemorrhage of the urinary organs and lost
twenty pounds of flesh in three weeks. One
day after my return was taken with a terri
J
we're attack of pneumonia. My left lung
soon entirely filled with water, and my leg
and body became twice their natural size. l
was obliged to sit upright in bed for several
weeks in the midst of the severest agony,
with my arms over my head, and in constant
fear of sutfocation."
"And did you still make no attempt to save
yourself"
Eyes, l made frantic efforts. I triel every
thing that seemed to offer the least prospect
of relief. [ called a council of doctors and
had them make an exhaustive chemical and
microscopical examination of my condition.
Five of the best physicians of Syracuse and
several from another city said Imust die
1t seemed as though their assertion was
true, for my feet became cold, my mouth
parched, my eyes wore fixed CLASSY stare,
my bo1y was covered with a cold, clammy
death sweat, and l read my fate in the anX-
ious expressions of my family and friends. "
"But the finalem
"Came at last My wife, aroused to DIES,
peration, began to almini ter remedy upon
her own responsibility, and while | grew
better very slowly, | gained ground surely
until, i'll brief, have no trace of the terrible
Brght's disease from which was dying, and
am perfectly well man. This may sound
like a romance, but it is true, and my life,
| health and what | am are due to Warmers
Safe Cure, which | wish was known to and
used by the thousands who, believe are sui
fering this minute as | was originally. Does
not such an experience as this justify me in
making a public statement"
" 1t certainly does. But then Bright's dis
ease is not u common complaint, DOCTOR"
"Not commonl On the contrary, it is one
! of the most common. The trouble iss few
people know they have it. 1t has so few
marked symptoms until its final stage that q
person may have it for years, each year get
ting more and more in its power and not sus
pect it. 1t is quite natural | should fee
enthusiastic over this remedy while my wife
is even more so than l am. She KIN ws OF
its being used with surprising results by
many ladies for their own peculiar ailments
over which it has singular power.
| The statement drawn out by the above
| interview is amply confirmed by very many
of our most prominent citizens, among
them being Judge Reigel, and Colonel James S
Goodrich of the Times, while Genera
Dwight H. Bruce and Rev. Professor W
| ?. Codd ington, D. D., give the remedy theiI
heartiest endorsement. In this age of won
| ders, surprising things are quite common
but an experience so unusual as that of DR.
Martins and occurring here in our midst
may well cause comment and teach a lesson
1t shows the necessity of guarding the slight
est approach OF physical disorder and by the
means which has been proven the most re
liable and efficient. 1t shows the depth tx
which one can sink and yet be rescued, anC
it proves that few people need suffer If thes'
