ThL HKR1 lays the following state
ment before ktleaders with the assurance
that it is u1 Rbtedly true IN every par
ucular. IN Hnier is p well and widely
known cittzk I'D ms case "a familiar TO q
ltrse numberS our readers.
To The EaRor Of the Hsraia: SIR;
| dislike tBg notorlety OF a newspaper
letter over 10Y own signature, but IN this
matter duty compsls NE. AS many are
aware, | was for years In q feeble condl-
{ Oh, many people expecting my death AZ
u time. III 1879. while 1T Denver, COL
orsdo, | was attacked with a mysterious
h~emorrhage. / lost 20 pounds OF uesh IN
three weeks. 1 came home utterly broken
down. My physicians SAID some pecuII-
arity of the western climate produced the
disorder. | made the journey again a
few months later, however, without Ill
effects, but on my return home was
Frustrated with pneumonia. My left lung
soon entirely filed, and my legs and BODY
became twice their natural size. / was
Obliged to sit upright in bed for several
weeks IN the midst Of the severest
agony, with my arms over my head. l
was In constant fear of suiiOCatlOn. Many
a night had deadly sinking spells.
When the pneumonia abated the hemor-
rhages returned. My legs were twisted
with cramps, my skin was very hot and
dry, my blood circulated uneyeniy, my
mouth was psrched, | was tormented with
the pains of gravel aud mucus IN my
fluids, and my back ached ezcrucia!lngiy.
l did not know what was my especial
disorder, but in April, 1881, a council OF
iYe of the best physicians OF Syracuse
SAID l could not possibly recover. They
advised me to try the virtues OF a certain
mineral spring. With pitiful helplessness
! dragged myself to the cars, hut was
obliged to stop over at Worcester, Mass.
There | was again thoroughly examined
by fifteen physicians, who cOncurred that
| was incurable. Nevertheless, | contln-
ued my journey to the springs, remained
there several weeks, but returned home
without benefit or hope.
My disorder was for years sspping and
mmin my constitution before the
final attack was made. First | had chills
and fever, then severe and protracted cold,
then restlessuess at night, nervous irrita-
bility by day, constantly distressing back
ache, unusual disposition to catarrh, pam
IN the chest, torpid liver, headache and
duh sensation in the base OF the brain.
For five years painful rheumatic paius
affected my knee. Stomach and bowel
arrangements came IN their turn, with an
occasional luttCrIng Of my heart, and an
inability to draw a long breath; quick ia
tigue followed much conversation; irregu-
laritY OF appetite succeeded, FIttul pains
of a neuralgia order fitted about my body,
and after a day OF hard work my arms
would feel numb, 50 | often had fears of
paralysis. So terrible at times did my
back and arms ache that at the close OF
work | would lie on my couch for an hour
with arms appraised in vain attempt Tor re
lief. After a night Of restlessne s and
h~alIuciuations, | woulu awake IN the
morning with such a distressing headache
that | could not arise until had drunk a
cup of strong coffee or tea.
The disease which had fastened on me
during all these years my physicians said
was Bright's Disease Of the Kidneys, pro-
nouneed by every medical authority to be
lncurable. Having exhausted all author
ICED remedies, | dismissed my medical
attendants and began the use of Wainer's
Safe Cure IN December, 1881. 1 faith
fully persevered for two and one-half years,
and il has saved my life and preserved my
health, aDhea ttceHty If The most com.
potent physicians said l couta not re-
c0Uer. / have taken over 200 bottles,
following all diet rules and directions.
lhave hitherto refraired from publishing
details of my case, because | wished to
secure permanent effects before stating re.
suits, Aut-as | have been comparatively a
well man tor the last two years and able
to attend to my business daily, wholly
thrt ugh the preparation named, | feel that
| ought to spread It's merits before the
world. If you see fit to publish what l
have written | shall be gratiied.
Yours, etc,
DIR. S. G. MARTIN.
