Something of a sensation was caused
in this city yesterday by q rumor that olis
our of best known citizens was about to
publish q statement concsrning'some un-
usual experiences during his residence in
Syracuse. How the rumor originated it
is impossible to say. but. reporter
Immediately sought DR.. S. G. Martha,
the gentleman in question, and secured
the following interview isEF I..aa. ~
"What about this rgn,r, Doctor, that
you are going t. make public state
ment of some important matters?"
"Just about the same as you will find in
all rumofs-some truth; some fiction. I
had contemplated making publication
Of some remarkable episodes that have
occurred i'll my life, but have not COM
pleted it Us yet"
"What is the nature of it, may I en-.
Quire?" $50: :.
"Why, the fact that I am human Icing
instead of a spirit. l have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals
that perhaps ever occurred to any man.
The first intimation had of it was sew
eral years ago, when began to feel chill
ly ut night and restless after retiring.
Occasionally this would be varied by
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 noticed
peculiar catarrhal trouble and my throat
also became inhumed. As if this we're
not variety enough felt sharp pains in
my chest, and e constant tendency to
II eadache."
"Why didn't you take the matter in
hand and check it right where it was?'
"Whv doesn't everybody do 80? Sim
ply because they think it is only some
trifing and passing disorder. These
troublesdid not come all at once AMI /
thought it unmanly TO heed them. I
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 gi-
ants of ago.Y. | beca'ne more nervous;
had strange futtering Of the heart, az
inability to draw a 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 imagine"
"And did you do nothing"
Eyes, l travelled. In the spring of 1879
went to Kansas and Colorado, and
while in Denver, was attacked with
mysterious helnorrhage Of the urinary
organs and lost twenty pounds of flesh
in three weeks. One day after my re-
turn was taken wi tn terrible chill
and at once advanced to q very severe
attack of pneumonia. NV left lung soon
entirely filled with water and my legs
and body became twice their natur-
al size. l 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 tear OF sutto'
cation"
"Anl did y you still make no attemptto
ayes, made frantic efforts. I tried
eyerv thing that seemed to offer the
least prospect of relief. called coun-
Gil of doctors and had them make an ex-
haustive chemical and microscopical ex-
animation OF my condition. Five OF the
best physicians of Syracuse and several
from another city said must die!
1t seemed as though their assertion
vas true for my feet became cold, my
mouth parched, my eyes wore fixed
CLASSY stare, my DO ~ was covered with
cold, clammy death sweat, and read
nv fate in the anxious expressions of
my family and friends"
''But the fnale?"
"Came at last. My wife, arotised to
despera ion, began to administer rem,
edy upon her own responsibility, ana
while I grew better very slowly, gained
ground surely, until. in brief, ! have no
trace of the terrible Bright's disease
fectly we'll man. This may sound like a
romance, but it is true, and my life,
health and what am are due to War
ner's Safe Cure, which l wish was
known to and used by the thousands
who, believe, are suffering this minute
as I was originally. Doss not such an
experience as this Justify me in making
pu bic statement ...-a- .-...-..:
ut certainly does. But then Brigtit's
disease is not a common complaint doc
tor" .--.~.
mot common! On the contrary it is
one of the most common. The trouble
is, few people know they have IL; Ii
has 80 few marked symptoms until its
final stages that a person may have 1t 1o1
years, each year getting more ana more
in it's power and not suspect 1t. 1t IL
quite natural / 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 Gen. Dwight H. Bruce apd 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 un:
usual as that of DR.. Martins and occur
ring here in our midst, may we'll cause
comment and teach lesson. 1t shows
the necessity of guarding the slightest
approach of physical disorder and by the
means which. has been proven the most
reliable and efficient. Its hows the depth
to which one can sink and vet be rescued
and it proves that few people need
suffer if these truths are observed.
