A DANGEROUS AMBUsCADE.

Discovered Barely In Time-The Most Decep.
tive and Luring of Modern Evils Graph
cnIly Described.
Something of sensation was caused in this
city yesterday by rumor that one of our
best known citizens was about to publish a
statement concerning some unusual expert
ences during his residence in Syracuse. How
the rumor originated it is impossible TO say,
but reporter Immediately sought Doctor s.
G. Martin. the gentleman in question, and Sc
cured the following interview;
"What about this rumor, Doctor, that you
are going to make public statement of some
important mattersf
"Just about the same as you will find in all
rumors-some truth; some fiction. / had
contemplated making n publication of some
remarkable episodes that have occurred in
my life, but have not completed it as YETI
"What is the nature of it. may inquire"
"Why, the fact that am a human being
instea of a spirit. / have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals that per-
haps ever occurred to any man. The first in
ti.,ation had of it was several years ago,
when began to feel chilly at night and rest
less after retiring. Occasionally this would
be varied by a 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 attention to it as
possible. Shortly after this | noticed pc
cul ar catarrhal trouble and my throat also
became infamed. As if this were not va
riety enough l felt sharp pains in my chest,
and a constant tendency to headache"
"Why didn't you take the matter in hand
and check it right where it was 2"
"Why doesn't everybody do so? Simply
because they think it is only some trifing 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. Mer 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 futtering of the heart, an inability
to draw q long breath and an occasional
aumbness that was terribly suggestive Of
paralysis. How l could have been SO blind
as not to understand what this meant l can
not imagine"
"And did you 90 nothing ~
EYES, l Travelled. In the spring of 1879
went to Kansas and Colorado, and while in
Denver, was attacked with mysterious
hemorrhage of the urinary organs and lost
twenty pounds of flesh in three weeks. One
day after my return was taken with terri
BILE chill and at once advanced to a very Sc
we're attack of pneumonia. NJ left lung
soon entirely filled with water, and my leg;
and body became twice their natural size. l
was obliged to sit upright in bed for several
weeks in the midst of the severest agony,
with my arms over my head land in constant
fear of sutlocation."
"And did you still make no attempt to save
yourself"
Eyes, n ade frantic efforts l trie every
thing that seemed to offer the least prospect
of relief. | called a council OF doctors and
had them make an exhaustive chemical and
mcroscopical examination 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 fixed CLASSY stare,
my BODY was covered with a cold, cammy
death sweat, and | read my fate in the anx-
ious expressions of my family and friends"
"But the tinaleI"
"Came at last. My wife, aroused to des-
peration, began to administer a remedy upon
her own responsibility, and while | grew
better very slowly, | gained ground surely
until in brief, l have no trace of the terrible
Bright's disease from which | was dying, and
am Ierfectly well man. This may sound

people know they have it 1t has so few

enthusiastic over this remedy while my wife
is even more so than | am She KIN ows of
its being used with surprising results b.
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 Colonel James $.
Goodrich, of the Times, while General
Dwight H. Bruce and Rev. Professor w.
T. Codd ington, d. D., give the remedy their
heartiest endorsement. In this age of Won
DORIS surprising things are quite com%on,
but an experience so unusual as that of DR..
Martins and occurring here in our midst.
NAV well cause comment and teach less /.
1t shows the necessity of guarding the slight
est approach OF physical disorder and by tn
means which has been proven the most re
liable and efficient 1t shows the depth to
which one can sink and yet be rescued and
it proves that few people need suffer if these
truths are acknowledgements Journal.
