Something OF a sensation was caused in this
city yesterday by a rumor that onefof our
best.known citizens was about 10 ptblish a
statement concerning some unusuF expert
ences during his residence In syracfse. How
the rumor originated 1t is impossife TO say,
but reporter Immediately soughN DR.. S. G..
Martin, the gentleman In questifh, and Sc
cured the following interview;
"what about this rumor, DoctoH that you
are going 10 make public statement OF some
important mnttersY"
"Just about the same rs you VIII tud in all
rumors-some truth, some flctiona had con.
templated making publication bf some re-
markable episodes that have occtrred IN my
life, but have not completed IL asSet."
"What is the nature OF 1t, may hinqulre?"
"Why, the fact that am a hun}nn pelng In
stead of spirit / have passedS through one
OF tho most wonderful ordeals Fhat perhaps
ever occurred to any man. This flrst intima-
tion had OF IL was several yeatb ago, when l
began TO feel chilly at night antsrestless after
retiring. Occasionally this woAld be varied
by a soreness OF the muscles and cramps In
my. arms and legs. / thought, % most people
would think, that 1t was onlya cold and 80
paid as little attention TO II as possible.
Shortly after this l noticed 81 peculiar ca
tarrhal trouble and my throat also became In
famed. AS II this were not variety enough 1
felt sharp pains in my chest,a aand u constant
tendency TO headache"
"why didn't you take the matter In hand
and check It right where It waag"
"why doesn't everybody do 10? Simply be-
cause they think II Is only some trinlng and
passing disorder. These TROUBLES did not
come all at once and thouglrt It unmanly to
heed them. have found, though, that every
physical neglect must be paia for and with
large interest. Men cannot draw drafts
upon their constitution Without honoring
them some time. These minor symptoms ]
have described grew until they were giants OF
agony. became more nervohs; had strange
nuttering OF the heart, an liability to draw q
long breath and an occasional numbnees that
was terribly suggestive ofparalysis, How
could have been 50 blind asAot to understand
what this meant cannot intaginc."
Sand did you do nothlngf'
"Yes, Travelled. in theSspring OF 1870 l
went TO Kansas and COLORADO, and while in
Denver / was attacked with a mysterious
hemorrhngc of the uringfy organs and LOST
twenty pounds of tiesh I'M three weeks. One
| day after my return Was taken with ter,
| rible chill, and at once adfanced to a very So
we're attack OF pneumonias My left lung soor
entirely filled with water and my legs and
body became twice theirnatural size. ] was
obliged 10 sit upright In bed for several weeks
In the midst OF tho sevefest agony, with my
arms over my head, and In constant fear o.
suffocation."
"And did you still mahe no attempt to save
| yourselfF
| "Yes, made frantic Efforts. tried every.
| thing that seemed 10 offer the least prospect o
| relief. / called a council OF doctors and hsd
| them make an exhaustive chemical and mi
| croscoplcal examination OF my condition
| Five OF the best physicians OF Syracuse, aud
| several from another City, said must dlel
'tIt seemed as though their assertion wa

\ parched, my eyes wSfre q fixed, CLASSY stare
| my body was covered with q cold, clamm,
death sweat, and read my fate In the anxiou
| expressions OF my fatnily and friends"
| "But the ,fRdle!"
"Came at last. Mywlfe, aroused to despera

own responsibility and while l grew bette

which I..wish was3known to and used by tn
thousands who, believe, are suffering thi

experience as tWis Justify me In making

"It certainly dpes. But, then, Brlght's dl
ease is not a common complaint, Doctor."
| "Not commoE5 on the contrary, II Is Oh
OF the most cemmon. The trouble is, fe
people know they hayo 1t. 1t has so 70
marked symptoms until It's nnal stages that

The statement drawn out by the above inte
view is amply confirmed by very many OF OF
most promiuent cltlzons, among them beiI
Judge Roigd and Colonel James s. Goodric
Of the Tlmes while General Dwight II. Bruc
and Rev. Pgbf. W. p. Coddington,D d. D., give u
remedy thejr heartlest Endorsement. In III
age of wonfers, surprising things are qul
common, Int an experience so unusual as tn
OF DR.. Maftin's, and occurring here In OF
midst MAJ we'll cause comment and teach
lesson. II shows the necessity OF guardll
the slightest approach Of physical disord
and by tho means which has been proven Il
most reliable and efficient. 1t shows tho dep
