caused in this city yesterday by a
rumor that one of our best known
citizens was about to publish a state
ment concerning some unusual ex-
periences during his residence in
in Syracuse. How the rumor origi-
mated it is impossible to say, but a
reporter sought DR.. S. G.. Martin,
the gentleman in quetion, 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
find in all rumors-some truth; some
fiction. / had contemplated making
publication of some remarkable ep-
isodes that have occurred in my life,
but have not completed it as yet"
"What is the nature of it, may
enquirer"
"Why, the fact that 1 am a human
being instead Of spirit. I have
passed through one of the most won
derful ordeals that perhaps ever &C.
Cured to any man. The first init
nation l had of it was several years
ago, when l began to feel chilly at
night and restless after retiring. Oc-
casionally this would be varied by
soreness of the muscles and cramps
in my arms and legs. thought, as
most people would think, that it was
only a cold and so paid as little at
tention to it as possible. Shortly
after this noticed peculiar catarrh-
al trouble and my throat also became
in1amed. As if this were not variety
enough felt sharp pains in my chest
and a constant tendency to head
ache"
"Why didn't you take the matter
in hand and check it right where it
was?"
"Why doesn't everybody do so1
Simply because they think it is only
some trifing 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 con-
stitution without honoring them
sometime. These minor symptoms
have described, grew until they were
giants of agony. l became more
nervous; had a strange futtering of
the heart, an inability to draw a long
breath and an occasional numbness
that was terribly suggestive of paraly-
sis. How l could have been SO
blind as not to understand what this
meant l cannot imagine"
"And you did nothing!"
"Yes, l travelled. In the spring of
of 1879 l went to Kansas and Colo
RADIO. and while in Denver, l was at
tackled with mysterious hemorrhage
of the urinary organs and lost twenty
pounds of flesh in hree weeks. One
day after my return was taken with
terrible chill and at once advanced
to very severe attack Of pneumonia.
My left lung soon entirely filled with
water and my legs and body became
twice their natural size. 1 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
sufocation."
"Apd did you make no attempt to
save yourseDf1"
eyes, l made frantic efforts. l
tried everything that seemed to offer
the least prospect of relief. I called
a council of physicians and had them
make an exhaustive chemical and
microscopical examination of my
condition. Five of the best physi-
clans of Syracuse and several from
another city said must die!
1t seemed. as though their asser-
ton was true for my feet became
cold, my mouth parched, my eyes
wore CLASSY stare, my body was
covered with cold, clammy death
sweat, and read my fate in the
anxious expressions of my family and
friends"
"But the finale!"
"Came at last. My wife aroused
to desperation, began to administer a
remedy upon her own responsibility
and while / grew better very slowly,
gained ground surely until, in brief,

disease from which was dying, and

sound like romance, but it is true,
and my life, health and what am

thousands who, believe, are suffer.
