Something OF a sensation was caused IN this
city yesterday by rumor that one OF OUR
best known citizens was about I'd publish 4
statement concerning SOME unusual experi4
ences during his residence IN Syracuse How
the rumor originated il is impossible to say,
but reporter Immediately sought Doctor s.
G. Martin, the gentleman in question, and Sc.
cured the following interview;
"What about this rumor, Doctor, that you
ore going to make public statement OF some
important mattersm
"Just about the same as you will find IN all
rumors-some truth; some fiction l had
contemplated making a publication of some
remarkable episodes that have occurred in
my life, but have not completed it as yet, "

" 1t certainly does. But then Brights dis

Not common! On the contrary, it is one
of the most common. The trouble is, few
people know they have it. 1t has so few
marked symptoms until its final stage that O
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 | am. She KIN ows 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 :
Goodrich, of the Times, while GenerG
Dwight II. Bruce and Rev. Professor w
p. Codd ington, d. d., give the remedy theiI
heartiest endorsement. In this age Of won
ders, surprising things are quite comNon
but an experience so unusual as that of DIR
Martins and occurring here in our midst
NAV well cause comment and teach lessC l.
1t shows the necessity of guarding the slight
est approach of physical disorder and by th'
means which has been proven the most re
liable and efficient. 1t shows the depth tC
which one can sink and yet be rescued, anC
it proves that few people need suffer If thes'
truths are observed. Syracuse Journal.
