in Syracuse. How the rumor originated
it is impossible so say, but a reporter i'm
mediately sought DIR. :. G. Martin, the
gentleman in question, and secured the
following interview;
What about this rumor, Doctor, that
you are going to make public statement
of some important matters?"
Just about the same as you will End
in all rumors-some truth; some fiction.
| had contemplated makinga publication
of some remarkable episodes that have
occurred in my life, but have not COM
plcted it az "c'"
what is the nature Of it, may | en-
quire?"
"Why, the fact that | am a human being
instead of spirit. have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals that
perhaps ever occurred to any man. The
first intimation had of it was several
years ago, when began to feel chilly at
night and restless after retiring. OCca-
sionally this would be varied by sore
ness of the muscles and cramps in my
arms and legs. | thought, as most peo-
pie would think, that it was only q cold
and so paid as little attention TO it as
possible. Shortly after this 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 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 so? Simp-
ly because they think it is Only some
tritling and passing disorder, These
troubles did not come all at once and
thought it unmanly to heed them. |
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 have
described, grew until they were giants of
agony. | became more nervous; had a
strange iluttering Of the heart, and ina
bility to draw a long breath and an oc-
casiOnal numbness that was terribly sug-
gestive of paralysis How | could have
been so blind as not to understand what
this meant | cannot imagine"
And did you do nothing?'
"Hes, ! travelled In the Springlef 1879
| went to Kansas and Colorado, and
while in Denver, ! was attacked with a
mysterious hcmorrhage of the urinary
organs and lost twenty pounds of flesh
in three weeks. One day after my re-
turn ! was taken with terrible chill
and at once advanced to . very severe at
tack of Pneumonia. Ny left lung soon
entirely filed with water and my legs
and body became twice their natural
size. | was Obliged to sit upright in bed
fo. several weeks in the midst of the
seyerest agony, with my arms over my
head, and in constant fear of suftoca-
tom
And did you still make no attempt TO
save yourself"
"GcS, | made frantic efforts. tried
everything that seemed to offer the least
prospect of relief ] called council of
doctors and had them make an exhaus-
tive chemical and microscopical exami-
nation of my condition. Five OF the best
physicians Of Syracuse and several from
another city said ] 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
a cold, clammy death sweat, and | read
my fatcln the anxious expressions of
my family and friends"
But the finale?'
Game at last. My wife, aroused to
desperation, began to administers rene
dy upon her own responsibility and
while | grew better very slowly, gained
ground surely until in briei ! have no
trace of the terrible Bright's disease from
which ! was dying, and am perfectly
well man. This may sound like a ro-
nance, but it is true, and my life, health
and what am are due to Warmers Safe
Cure, which ! wish was known TO and
used by the thousands who, | believe,
are suffering this minute rs | was origi-
nally. Does not suck an experience as
this justify me in making public state
ment?'
1T certainly does. But then Brights
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. lthas
50 few marked symptoms until its final
stages that a person may have it for
years, each year getting more and more
in its power and not suspect it. 1t is
quite natural | should feel enthusiastic
over this remedy, while my wife is even
more than | am. She knows 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 Col.
James s. Goodrich. of the Times, while
Gen. Dwight II. Bruce and Rev. Prof W.
p. Coddinston, ID. d., give the remedy
their l,eartiest endorsement. In this age
of wonders, surprising things are quite
common but an experience so unusual
as that of DR.. Martins and occurring here
in our midst, may well cause comment
and teach lesson. 1t shows the neces-
sity of guarding the slightest approach
Of physical disorder and by the means
which has been proven the most relia-
bic and efficient Ii shows the depth to
which one can sink and yet be rescued
and it proves that few people need sui-
fer if these truths are observed
