The graphic cccurren that is described
below Is enc of the most remarkable episodes
in the domestic history of America 1t is
abso ute truth which can readily be verified
The inhabit mt; of tie pleasant town o.
Corti0n1, N. Y, were shocked one morning
by the announcement that Mr.. Cl nton
Rindge, one OF their most prominent citizens,
had committed suicide. The news spread
aIidly and aroused the entire neighborhood
where Mr.. Rindge Was so we and favorab'y
known. At first it seemed imp )ssible that
anv one so quiet and domestic could co so
rash deed, and the inquiry was heard en-
every side as to the eau O. The facts as de-
yeloped on Investigation proved to be as
follows:
Mr.. Rinige was domestic in his tastes and
took the greatest enjoyment in the society of
his children and pride in their de- elopment,
And indeed he had good reason to be proud
for they gave promise of long lives of success
and usefulness. But an evil day came. His
youngest SOIL, William, began to show signs
OF an early decay. He felt unusually tired
each day, and would sometimes sleep tie en-
tire afternoon il permitted to do So Hisheld
panied him, not acute!y, but with dull,
htagy feeling. There was sinking sensation
at the pit OF his stomach. He lost all relish
for food and much of his interest for thing
about him. He tried manfully to over.
come these fee ings, but they seemed
! stronger than his will He began to
lose flesh rapidly. TIE father became
alarmed end consulted physicians as to the
caTe of his MS line s, but they were una
lie to explain Finally Sc ele sores bro Ike
| o1t on his arms AMI he wes take to Buffalo,
where pa nful operation wa prior ned re-
sulting in the loss of much blood but afford
| ing little relief. The young man returned
home ana council of physicians was called.
After an exhaustive examination tEey de-
cared there was nohope of fina! recovery and
that he must die within very few days. To
describe the agony which this announcement
caused the father would be impossible. His
mind failed to grasp its full m aiming at first;
then finally Sc mel to o nprehend it, but tn
| load was to- great In an agony of frenzy
he seized kni and took his own Ii e, pre-
ferring death rather tran to survive
his idolized son. At that time
William Rindge was too weak to know
what was Transporting. His face had
turned black, his breath ceased entirely at
times, and his friends waited for his death,
believing that the fiend Bright's disease of
the kidneys, from which he was a sufferer,
Gould not be removed. In this supreme mo-
ment Williams sister came forward and de-
clared she wolld make final attempt to save
her brother. The docto interposed, ass r.
ing her it was useless and that she would only
hasten the end by the means she propo.ed
to employ. But she was firm, and putting
all back, approached her brothers side and
administered aremdey viii h she fortunately
had on hand. Within an hour he seemed
more easy, and before the day was over he
showed signs of decided improvem mt. Thes
favorable signs continued, and to-day Viii
liam B. Rindge is well, havin = been virtually
raised from the dead through the marvellous
power of Warmers Safe Cure, as can be rea
Oily yeritel by any citizen of Cortland.
Any one.who reflects upon the facts above
described must have feeling of sadness
The father, dead by his own hand, supposing
his sons recovery to be impossible; the Sol
restored to health to mourn the loss of hi
father and the agonized relatives with a mem
Dry of sadness to forever darken their lives
Had Clinton Rindge known that his son coulC
recover he would to-day be alive and happy
but the facts which turned his brain anC
caused him to commit suicide were such al
any one would acceptas true
However sad this case may be, the trutl
remains that thousands OF people are at TIL
moment in as great actual peril as William
Rindge and in as great danger of causin,
misery If not death to their friends. Live
