[.Syrncusc Journal. !

Something of sensation was caused in
this city yesterday by rumor that one of
our best known citizens was about to pub
fish statement concerning some unusual
experiences during his residence. in SYRIA
cuse. How the rumor originated it is inn
possible to say, but reporter Immediate

In question, and secured the following in
terview:

Just about the same as you will find in
all rumors--some truth; some fiction. /

ago, when | began to feel chilly at night

muscles and cramps in my arms and legs.

And did you do nothingW
Yes, l travelled. In the spring of 1879
went to Kansas and Colorado, and while
in Denver, was attacked with my steri-
GUS hemorrhage of the urinary organs and
lost tweaty pounds of flesh in three weeks.
One day after my return was taken with
terrible chill and at once advanced to q
very severe attack of pneumonia. My left
lung soon entirely filed with water and
my legs and body became twice their nat

severest agony, with my arms over my

true, for my feet became cold, my mouth

clammy death sweat, and read my fate
in the anxious expressions of my family
and friends.

OF the most common. The trouble is, few
people know they have it. 1t has so few

suspect it. 1t is quite natural should feel
enthusiastic over this remedy while my wife
is even more SO than am. She knows OF
its being used with surprising results by
many ladies for their own peculiar all
ments, over which it has singular power.u
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 General Dwight II. Bruce and Rev
Prof. w. T. 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 of DIR. Martins and occurring here
in our midst, may well cause comment and
teach lesson. 1t shows the necessity of
guarding the slightest approach of physi-
cal disorder and by the means which has
been proven the most reliable and efficient.
1t shows the depth to which one can sink
and yet be rescued, and it proves that few
people need suffer IL these truths are OBJ
served.
