Syracuse Journal.
Something. of a sensation was caused
in this city yesterday By rumor that one
our OF best known citizens was about to
publish statement concerning some un-
usual experiences during his residence in
Syracuse. How she 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 rum or, Doctor, that
you are going to make public state
ment Of some important matters3'
Just about the same as you viii find in
all rumors-some truth; some fiction. !

of some remarkable episodes that have
occurred in my life, but have not COM
pleted it as yet"

one of the most wonderful ordeals
that perhaps ever occurred to any man.

soreness of the muscles and cramps in
my arms and legs. | thought, as most
people would think, that 1t was only q
cold and SO paid as little attention to it
as possible Shortly after this noticed
peculiar catarrhal trouble and my throat
also became inhamed. AS if this were
not variety enough | felt sharp pains in
my chest, and g constant tendency to

"Why didn't you take the matter in
hand and check it right where it was?'

trfling and passing disorder. These

from another city said | must die!

over this remedy while my wife is even

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 beng Judge Reigel, and
Col James S. Goodrich. of the Times,
while Gen. Dwight II. Bruce and 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 I'M
usual as that of DR.. Martins and occur
ring here in our midst. may well 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. Itshows the depth
to which one can sink and vet be rescued
and it proves that few people need
suffer if these truths are observed.
