A THRILLING EX PERI ENCE.
Bemasrkable Statement of Porsonal Danger
and Providentisi Escape.
The following story—which is at-
tracting wide nttention from the press.
is so remarkable that we cannot uxouse
ourselves if we do not lay it before our
readers, even though its length would
ordinari! ly preclude its admission to our
Hmited space,
To the Ed tor Rochester (N. YX.) Drmocrat:
Sir, On the first day or June, 1881,
I lay at my residence in this city sur-
rounded by my friends and waiting for
death, Heaven ouly Kvows the agony
i then endured, for words can never
describe 1f, Aad yet, if a lew years
previous any one had told me that I
was to be brought so low, and by so
terrible a disease, I should have scoffed
at the idea. I had always been unocom-
monly strong and healthy, and weighed
over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in
my own experience, what pain or sick.
pess were, Very many people who
will read this statement realizs at times
that they are unusually tired and ocan-
sot account for it, They feel dull pains
in various parts of the body and do pot
understand it, Or they are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely without
appetite the next,
way I felt when the relentless
which had fastened itsell upon me first
began, Biill I thought nothing of it;
would soon pass away, Shortly after
this 1 noticed a heavy, and at
neuralgic pain in one side of my head
but as it would come one day and be
gone the next, I paid httle attention t
it, Then my stomach would get out of
order and my food often failed 10 digest,
causing at times great inconvenience
Yet, even as a physician, I dil
think that tiese things meant anytuiuy
serious, 1 fancied I was suffering from
maiaria and doctored myself aceord-
mngily. Dat I got vo better,
