Syracuse Journal.
Something Of a sensation was caused
in this city yesterday by a rumor that one
our of best known citizens was about to
publish a statement concerning some un-
usual experiences during his residencein
Syracuse. How the rumor originated it
is impossible to say, but a reporter
Immediately sought DR.. S. q. Martin,
the gentleman in question, and secured
the following interview:
"What about this rumor, Doctor, that
you are going to make a public state.
ment of some important matters?!"
"Just about the same as you will findin
all rumor s-Some truth; some fiction. l
had contemplated making a publication
of some remarkable episodes that have
occurred i'll my life, but have not com-
pleted it as yet"
"What is the nature of it, may l en-.
| quire??"
"Why, the fact that I am a human Icing
instead of spirit. l have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals
that perhaps ever occurred to any man.
The first intimation I had of it was sew
eral years ago, when I began to feel chill
ly ut night and restless after retiring.
Occasionally this would be varied by a
soreness of the muscles and cramps in
my arms and legs. I thought, as most
people would think, that it was only a
cold and so paid as little attention to it
as possible. Shortly after this l noticed a
peculiar catarrhal trouble and my throat
also became inflamed. As if this were
not variety enough | felt sharp pains in
my chest, and 6 constant tendency to
n eadache."
"Why didn't YOU take the matter in
hand and check it right where it WASP"
"Why doesn't everybody do 50? Sim
ply because they think it is only some
triling and passing disorder. These
troubles did not come all at once and l
thought it unmanly to heed them. l
have found, though, that every physical
neglect must be paid for and with large
interest. Men cannot draw drafts on
their constitution without honoring them
sometime. These minor symptoms l
have described, grew until they were gi-
ants of ago..Y. l became nervous;

inability to draw a long breath and an
occasional numbness that was terribly
suggestive of paralysis. How l could

I went to Kansas and Colorado, and
while in Denver, I was attacked with a
mysterious hemorrhage of the urinary
organs and lost twenty pounds of flesh
in three weeks. One day after my re-
turn l was taken with a terrible chill
and at once advanced to a very severe
attack of pneumonia. NY left lung soon
entirely filled with water and my legs
and body became twice their natur-
al size. 1 was obliged to sit upright in
bed Tor several weeks in the midst of
the severest agony, with my arms over
my head, and in constant fear Of suffo'

every thing that seemed to offer the
Gil of doctors and had them make an e.
haustive chemical and microscopical ex-
animation of my condition. Five of the
best physicians of Syracuse and several
from another city said l must die!
1t seemed as though their assertion
was true for my feet became cold, my
mouth parched, my eyes wore a fixed
CLASSY stare, my body was covered with
q cold, clammy death sweat, and l read
my fate in the anxious expressions of
my family and friends"
"But the finale?"
"Came at last. My wife, aroused to
despera ion, began to administer a rem.

while [ grew better very slowly, gained
ground surely. until, in brief, | have no
trace of the terrible Bright's disease
from which 1 was dying, and am q per-
romance, but it is true, and my life,
health and what l am are due to War

known to and used by the thousands
who, l believe, are suffering this minute
as I was originally. Does not such an
experience as this Justify me in making
a public statement"
"It certainly does. But then Bright's
disease is not a common complaint doc
tor"
"Not common! On the contrary it is
one of the most common. The trouble
is, few people know they have it. It
has so few marked symptoms until its
final stages that a person may have it fol
years, each year getting more and more

quite natural l 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"
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
Col. James s.. Goodrich. of the Times,
while Gem Dwight H. Bruce and Rev.
Prof. 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 I'M

comment and teach a lesson. It shows
the necessity of guarding the slightest
approach of physical disorder and by The
means which has been proven the most
reliable and efficient. Itshows the depth
to which one can sink and vet be rescued
and it proves that few people need
suffer if these truths are observed.
