Something of sensation was caused
in this city yesterday by rImor that
one of our best-known citizens was
about to publish a statement concerning
some unusual experiences during his
residence in Syracuse. How the rumor
originated it is impossible to say, but a
reporter Immediately sought DIR. S. G..
Martin, the gentleman in question, and
secured the following interview:
"What about this rumor, Doctor, that
you are going to make public state
ment of some important mattersP"
.'Just about the same as you will find
in all rumors- some truth some fic-
tion.- L had contemplated making a
publication of some remarkable cpl
sodes that have occurred in my life, but
have not completed it as YETI
"What is the nature of it, may en-
quireP" 49,.
"Why, the fact that 1 am human
being instead of spirit. 1 have passed
through one of the most wonderful or
deals that perhaps ever occurred to any
man. The first intimation l had of it
was several years ago, when / began to
feel chilly at night and restless after re-
firing. Occasionally this would be
varied bya soreness of the muscles and
cramps in my arms and legs. thought,
as most people, would think, that it was
only a cold and 80 paid as little atten-
ton to it as possible. Shortly after this
noticed a peculiar catarrhal trouble
and my throat also became infamed.
AS if this were not variety 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 wasp"
''Why doesn't everybody do SOP
Simply because they think it only some
trifling and passing disorder. These
troubles did not come all at once and |
thought it unmanly to heed them. l
have found, though, that every phys-
cal neglect must be paid f II and with
large interest. Men cannot draw drafts
on their constitutions without hoEoring
them sometimes. These minor symp-
toms have described grew until they
were giants of agony. L became more
nervous; had strange fluttering of
the heart, an inability 10 draw long
breath and an occasional numbness that
was terribly suggestive of paralysis.
How could have been so blind as not
to understand what this meant | cannot

land did you do nothingp"
''Yes, travelled. In the spring of
1879 went to Kansas and Colorado,
and while in Denver, 1 was rttacked
with a mysterious hemorrhage of The
urinary organs and lost twenty pounds
of flesh in three weeks. One day
after my return | was taken with ter
rible chill and at once advanced to a
very severe attack of pneumonia. My
left lung soon entirely filled with water
and my legs and body became twice
their natural size. | 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 suffocation.

to save yourselfP"
eyes, Il made frantic efforts. I tried
every thing that seemed to offer the
least prospect of relief. Icalled a
council of doctors and had them make
an exhaustive chemical and microscop-
ical examination of my condition. Five
of the best physicians of Syracuse and
several from another city said must
die! ||f..- t..
1t seemed az 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 I read
my fate in the anxious expressions of
my family and friends"
"But the fnale?"
"Came at last. Ny wife, aroused to
desperation, began to administer rem
edy on her own responsibility and
while L grew better very slowly; 1 gain
ed ground very surely until, in brief,
1 have no trace of the terrible Bright's
disease from which 1 was dying, and I
am perfectly we'll man. This may
sound like a romance, but it is true,
and my life, health and what I am are
due to Warmers Safe Cure, which L
wish was known to and used by the
thousands who, l believe, are suffer-
ing this minute rs l was originally.
Does not such an experience as this JUS
tify me in making a public statement"
SIT certainly does. But then Bright's
disease is not a common complaint,
DOCTOR"
ssNot common! On the CONTRARY, it
is one of the most common. The trou-
BILE is few people know they have it.
1t has so few marked symptoms until
its final stages that person may have
it for years, each year getting more
and more in its power and not suspect
it. 1t is quite natural that l should
feel enthusiastic over this remedy and
nay wife is even more so than | am.
She knows of its being used with sur
prising results by many ladies' for their
