toyracuse Journal
Something of q sensation was caused in this
city yesterday by rumor that one of our best
known citizens was about to publish q state
ment concerning some unusual experiences dur
Ing his residence in Syracuse. How the rumor
originated it is impossible to say, but reporter
immediately sought DR.. 3. G. Martin, the gen.
teman In question, and secured the following
interview:
What about this rumor, doctor, that you
are going TO make pubic statement Of some
important mstters?'
Just about the same as you will find in all
rnmors-some truth; some hction, Ihad con-
tempIated making q publication of some re-
mar able episodes that have occurred In my
hfe, but have not completed it as yet"
What Is the nature OF it, may enquire p
"Why, the fact that am q human being in
stead OF spirit. / have passed through one
OF the NEST wonderful ordeals that perhaps
ever occurred to any man. The first Intlma-
ton l had OF 1t was several years ago,
when began to feel chilly at night and rest
less alter retiring. Occasionally this would be
varied by a soreness Of The muscles and cram ps
IN my arms and legs l thought, as most peo-
pie would think. that it was only a cold and SO
paid rs little afternoon to it as possible. Short
ly after this / noticed a peculiar catarrhal
trouble and my throat also became infamed.
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 was"
why doesn't every body do SOP Simply
because they thln6 1t Is only some trifling and
passing disorder. These troubles did not come
all at once and thought it unmanly to heed
hoy
physical neglect must be paid for and with
large interest. Men cannot draw drafts on
their constitution without honoring them some
time. These minor symptoms | have de-
sciibed, grew until they were giants of agony.
l became more nervous; had strange futter-
ing of the heart inability to draw d long
breath and an occasional numbDess that Wss
terribly suggestive Of paralysis. How could
have been 70 Dhnd as not to understand what
this meant cannot Imsgine."
And did you do nothlDgP
"Yes, / Travelled. In the spring Of 1879
went 10 Kansas and Colorado, and while Ill
Denver, l WAS attacked with mysterious
hemouhage of the urinary organs and LIST
twenty pounds of flesh In three weeks. One
day after my return WAS taken with a terrible
chill and at once advanced to very severe al
tack of pneumonia. My left lung soon entire
ly filled with water and rny legs and body be-
came twice their natural size. | was obliged
to sit upright in bed for several weeks in The
midst of the seveIest agony, with my arms over
my head and in constant fear Of suffocstion."
"And did you still make no attempt TO save
yourself2"
.'Yes, / made frantic efforts. tried every
thing that seemed TO offer the least prospec.
of relief. / called a counsel of doctors and
had them make an exhaustive chemical and
microscopical examination of my condition
Five of the best physicians of Syracuse aud
several from another city said l must die!
Ii seemed as though their assertion was tue
for my feet became cold, my mouth parcheo,
my eyes wore fixed CLASSY Stare, my body was
covered with cold, climmy death sweat, and
read my fate i'll the anxious expressions of
my family and fiiends."
But the finale ?"
'Came at last. My wife, aroused to desper-
alton, began to administer a remedy upon her
own responsibility aad while grew better very
slowly, L gained ground surely until, IN brief, |
have no trace OF the terrible Brights disease
from Which l was dying, and am perfectly
well man, This may sound Like romance, but
it is true, and my life, health and what l am
sre due to Warmers safe Cue, which l wish
was.known to and used by the thousands who,
| believe, are suffering this minute as I was
originally. Does not such an experience as this
justify me IN making public statement"
sit certainly does. But then Bright's dis
case is not common complaint, Doctor"
Not common On the contrlry it is one of
Tue most common. Inc trouble Il. 1SW pee pie
know th3y have it. Ii has so few marked
symptoms until its finsl stages that per SON
may have it for years, each year getting more
and more IN its power and not suspect II. II is
quite natural / should feel enthusiastic over
this remedy while nv wife is even more SO than
| am. She knows of its being used with sur
prising results by many ladies for tier own
peculiar ailments, over which it has singular
power"
The statement drawn out by the above inter-
view ID 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 Fl. Bruce and
Rev. Prof. ". P. COddington, d. D., give the
remedy their heartiest 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 orr
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 las been proven the most
reliable and Efficient. II shows the depth to
which one can sink and yet be rescued and il
proves that fsw people need suffer if these
truths are observed.
