Discovered Barely in Time—The Most Deceptive and Luring of Modern Evils Graphically Described. (Syracuse Journat.) Something of a sensation was caused in this city yes- terday by a rumor that one of our best known citizens ‘Was about to publish a statement concerning sume un- ‘Usual experiences during his residence in Syracuse. How the rumor originated it is impossible to say, but a | reporter immediately sought Dr. 8. G, Martin, the gen- aa im question, and secured the following inter- lew: "What about thisrumor, Doctor, that you are going to make a public statement of some important matters?" “Just about the same as you will find in all ramors— ; Some fiction, Thad contemplated making publication of some remarkable episodes that have oc- curred in my life, but have not completed it as yet.” “What is the nature of it, may I inquire?” “Why, the fact that Iam a human being instead of a spirit. I have passed through one of the most wonder- fal ordeals that perhaps ever occurred to any man. ‘The first intimation I had of it was scveral years azo, when I began to feel chilly at night and restless after retiriug. Occasionally this would be varied by a sore- ‘nes of the muscles and cramps in my arms and legs. I | thought, as most people would think, that it was only a cold and #0 paid as little attention to it as possible, Shortly after this I noticed a peculiarzatarrhal trouble and my throat also became inflamed. As if this were not variety enough, I felt sharp paius in my chest, anda constant tendency to headache.” “Why didn’t you take the matter in hand and check it right where it was?” “Why doesn't everybody do so? Simply becanse they | think it is only some trifling and passing disorder ‘These troubles did not come all at onor,and I thousiit it uniwanly to heed them. I have found, though, that every physical neglect must be paid for and with large | interest. Men cannot draw drafts on their constitution | without honoring them sometime, These minor symp- | toms have described yrew until they were giants of agony. I became more nervons: had a strange flutter } ing of the heart, an inability to draw a long breath and | an cecasional numbness that was terribly suggestive of | paralysis. How could have been so biitid ns not to un | derstand what this meant I cannot fnagine.” | “And did you do nothing?” “Yes, traveled. In the spring of 1879 I went to Kan- sas and Colorado, and while in Denver I was attacked } with a mysterious hemorrhage of the urinary organs, | and lost twenty pounds of flesh in three weeks, One | day after my return I was taken with a terrible chill and | at once advanced toa very severe attack of pneumonia, | My left :ung soon entirely filled with water.and my lees. | mud body became twice their natural size.
