Something of sensation was caused In
this city yesterday by rumor that one OF
our best known citizens was about to pub
lish statement concerning some unusual
experiences during his residence In Syra-
cuse. How the rumor originated 1t is Inn
possible to say, but n reporter Immediate
ly sought DIR. S. G.. Martin. the gentleman
in question, and secured the following in
teIview;
"What about this rumor, Doctor, that
you are going to make a public statement
of some important mattersW
"Just about the Same as you will find in
all rumors-some truth; some fiction. l
had contemplated making publication OF
some remarkable episodes that have oc-
| ourred in my life, but have not completed
| 1t as yet"
"What Is the nature of it, may inquireW
"Why, the fact that i am n human being
instead of spirit have passed through
one of the most wonderful ordeals thatper-
| intimatlon had Of it was several years
ago, when began TO feel chilly at night
| and restless after retiring. Occasionally
| this would be vaiico by n soreness OF the
muscles and cramps in my arms and legs.
/ thought, as most people would think, that
| It was only cold and so paid as little at
tention to it as possible. Shortly after
this noticed a peculiar catarrhal trouble
and my throat also became inflamed. As
| IL this were not variety enough felt sharp
pains in my chest, and a constant tendency
| to headache"
"Why didn't you take the matter in hand
and check 1t right syhere 1t wasp
"Why doesn't everybody do SOP Sim.
fling and passing disorder. These troubles
did not came all at once and / thought 1t
unmanly to heed them. l have found,
though, that every. physical neglect must
be paid for and with large interest, Men
can not draw drafts ON their constitution
without honoring them sometimes. These
minor symptoms I have described, grew
until they were giants of agony. Ibecame
| more nervous; had strange iuttering OF
the heart, an inability to draw a long
breath and an occasional numbness that
was terribly suggestive of paralysis. How
1 could have been so blind as not to under.
stand what this meant | can not imagine"
" And did you do nothingW
"Yes, I travelled. In the spring of 1879
went to Kansas and Colorado, and while
in Denver, was attacked with a mysteri-
GUS hemorrhage of the urinary organs and
lost twenty pounds of flesh in three weeks.
One day after my return was taken with
terrible chill and at once advanced to q
very severe attack of pneumonia. My left
lung soon entirely filed with water and
my legs and body became twice their nat
ural size. was obliged to sit upright in
| bed for several weeks in the midst of the
severest agony, with my arms over my
head and in constant fear of suffocation."
And did you still make no attempt to
save yourself?"
ayes, made frantic efforts. Itried ev-
cry thing that seemed to offer the least
prospect of relief. / called council OF
doctors and had them make an exhaustive
chemical and microscopical examination
of my condition. Five of the best physi
clans of Syracuse and several from anoth-
er city said must die!
1t seemed as though their assertion wa:
true for my feet became cold, my mouth
parched, my eyes wore a fixed CLASSY
stare, my body was covered with cold
clammy death sweat, and read my fate
in the anxious expressions of my family
and friends"
"But the .tindle?"
"Came at last. My wife, aroused t.
desperation, began to administer remed,
t upon her own responsibility and while
, grew better very slowly, gained grounC
surely until, in brief, have no trace of tn
terrible BriShts disease from which l wa
J dying, and am n perfectly we'll man. Thi
may sound like a romance, but it is true
and my life, health and what am are du'
to Warmers Safe Cure, which l wish wa
known to and used by the thousands who
/ believe, are suffering this minute as wa
$ originally. Does not such an experienc
= ment?"
"Itcertainly does. But then Bright's dis
ease is not common complaint, doctor.
: mot commonl On the contrary it
t one of the most common. The trouble is
O few people know they have it. 1t has S
4 few marked symptoms until its final stage
that person may have it for years, eac
year getting more and more in its powe
/. and not suspect it. 1t is quite natural
d should feel enthusiastic over this remed
n while my wife is even more so than All
- She knows of its being used with surpris
ing results by many ladies for their owl
!, peculiar ailments, over which it has singt
d lar power"
II The statement drawn out by the abov
interview is amply confirmed by yer
many of our most prominent citizen:
=, among them being Judge Reigel. an
" Colonel James s. Goodrich OF the Time
d while General Dwight H. Bruce and Re'
e Prof. w. P. Coddington, D. D., give tt
|. remedy their heartiest endorsements. /
d this age of wonders, surprising things al
quite common but an experience so unusu'
as that of DR.. Martins and occurring her
r in our midst, may well cause comment an
IS teach lesson. 1t shows the necessity
" guarding the slightest approach of phys
" cal disorder and by the means which ha
u been proven the most reliable and efiicien
n II shows the depth to which one can sin
s and yet be rescued and it proves that fe
IS people need suffer II these truths are ol
n served.
