Something Of q sensation was caused in
this city yesterday by q rumor that II Of
our best known citizens was about to pub
lish . statement concerning some unusual
experiences during his residence in SYRIA
cuse. How the rumor originated it is i'm.
possible to say, but q reporter Immediate
ly sought DR.. 8. g. Martin. the gentleman
in question, and secured the following in
terview:
"What about this rumor, Doctor, that
you are going to make a public statement
Of some important mat'ersw
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 Oc-
CURED in my life, but AVE not completed
it as yet"
what's the nature of it, may ! inquirer
"Why, the fact hat / am a human being
instead of o spirit. I have passed through
one of the most wonder. ul ordeals that per-
haps ever occurred 10 any man. The first
intimation l had of it was several years
and restless after retiring. Occasionally
this would be varied by q soreness of The
muscles and cramps in my aims and legs.
/ thought, as most people would think, that
it was only q cold and SO pail as little at
tention to it as possible. Shortly after
this ! noticed a peculiar catarrhal trouble
and my throat also became infiamed. As
If this were not variety enough l felt sharp
pains in my chest, and q constant tendency
TO } e1dache."
"Why didn't you take the matterin hand
Inc check it right where it WASP"
"Why doesn't everybody do so? Sim.
ply because they think it is only some tri.
fling and passing disorder. These troubIes
did not come all at once and 1 thought it
unmanly to heed them. l ave found,
though, that every physical neglect must
be paid for and with large interest. Men
can not draw drafts on their constitution
without hOnoring them sometimes. These
minor symptoms / have described, grew
until they were giants of agony. Ibecame
more nervous; had a strange fluttering of
the heart, an inability to draw a long
was terribly suggestive of paralysis. How
l could a been SO blind as not to under
stand what this meant l can not imagine"
"And did you do nothing"
"Yes, l travelled. In The spring Of 1879
I went to Kansas and Colorado, and while
in Denver, / was attacked with a mysteri-
Gus hemorrhage of the urinary organs and
lost TIVE lty pounds OF fies': in three weeks.
One day after my return / was taken with
a terrible chill and at once advanced to a
very severe attack of pneumonia. My left
lung soon entiI ely ii LED VITA water and
my legs and body became twice their nat

bed for several weeks in the midst of the
severest agony, with my arms over my
head, and in constant fear of suffOcation."
"And did you still make no attempt to

"Yes, I made frantic efforts. Itried ev.
cry thing that seemed to offer the least
prospect of relief. I called a council Of

"But the .fRale?"

The statement drawn ont by the above
interview is andy confirmed by very
many of our most prominent citizens,
among them being judge Reigel. and
James S. Goodrich, of the Times,
General Dwight H. Bruce and Rev.
Pro-. W. p. Coidiugton, ID. D., give the
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
i'm our midst, may we'll cause comment and
teach a 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 dep h to which one ear sink
and yet be rescued and it proves that few
people nee suffer if these truths are OBJ.

FRECKLES are not so bad. 1t is said that
one girl does not object to seeing them on
girls face.
