Death. His Sons FINAL Rescue, TOO Late
TO Save His Parent
The graphic occurrence that is des-
cribed below is M Of themost remark
able episodes in the domestic history of
America 1t is absolute truth which
can readily be verified.
The inhabitants Of the pleasant town
OF Cortland ". Y. were shocked one
morning by tbs slf5uacem.nt that MIR.
Clinton Rindge, n other most prom
inent citizens, had committed suicide.
The news spread rapidly and aroused
the etnire neighborhood where Mr..
Rin6ge was so wellan favorably known.
AT first IL seemed impossible that any
one SO quiet and domestic could do 50
rash 6 deed and .h:ee inquiry -.s heara
on every side as TO the cause. The facts
ss developed on Investigation proved 10
be a follows!
Mr. Rindge MAS domestic in his tastes
and took the greatest enjoyment in the
society Of his children and pride in their
development. 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 son,
William, began TO show signs of an early
decay. He felt unusually tired each day.
and would sometimes sleep the whole af-
~ternoon if permitted TO do so. His head
panied him, not acutely, but with . dull,
heavy feeling. There was a sinking sen-
sation at the pit Of his stomach. He lost
oil relish for food and much OF his inter
est for things about him. He tried man
fully TO overcome these foviings, but
they seemed stronger than his will. He
began to lose eshrapidly. The father be-
came alarmed and consulted physicians
as to the cause Of his sons
Illness, but they we're unable to
explain. Finally severe sores broke ont
on his arms and he was taken TO Buffalo
whore a painful operation was performed
resulting in The loss Of much blood but
aifording little relief. The Young man
returned home and a council Of plfysi-
clans was called. After an exhaustive
examination they declared there was no
hope of final recovery and that he must
die within a very few DAYS. To describe
the agony which this announcement
caused the father would be impossible.
His mind failed to grasp its full meaning
at first then finally seemed to compre-
bend il, but tie load VAS too great. In
an agony of ~fsaiizy he $ lied q knife aud
took his own life, preferring death rath-
er than to survive bis idolized son. At
that time William Rindge was too weak
to know what was transporting. His face
had turned black, his breath ceased en-.
tirely at times, aud his friends
waited for his death believing that
the fend Bright's disease ofthe kidnevs,
from which he was suffering, could not
he removed. In this supreme moment
Williams sister came forward and de-
clared she wonld make q final attempt
10 W. her brother. The doctors In
terposed, assuring her il was useless
aud that she would only hasten the end
by the means she proposed TO employ.
But she was firm, and putting all back,
approached her brothers side and adj
ministered a remedy which she FORUM
ately had on hand. Within an hour he
seemed more easy, end befor re the day
was over lie showed signs Of decided
improvement. These favorable signs
continued, and to-day William b..
Rindge is well, having been virtually
raised from the dead through the mar
velous power Of Warnor's Safe Cure, az
can he readily verified by any citizen Of
Cortland.
ANY one who reflects upon the facts
above described must hayesa feeling Of
sadness. The father, dead by his own
hand, supposing his sons recovery to be
impossible; the son restoredto health 10
mourn the loss Of his father and the ag-
onized relatives with memory of sad
ness to forever darken their lives. Had
Clinton Ridge known that his son could
recover he would to-day be alive and
| happy, but the facts which turned his
brain and caused him to commit suicide
were such as any one would accept as
true.
However sad this case may be, the
truth remains that thousands OF people
are at this moment in as great actual
/ peril as William Rindge and in as great
danger of causing misery if not death to
their friends. Liver and Kidney di-
seases are become the most common ard
most dangerous Of any or all modern
complaints. They are the most decep-
tive in their beginnings and horrible in
their final stages. They are far moro
deceptive than consumption, AMI can
rarely be detected even by skiilfuI ply
sicians unless a microscopic analysis be
resorted to, and few doctors understand
how Ia do this. Their slightest APP
proach, or possibility ofapproach should
strike terror to the one who is threat
ened as well as to all his or her friends
These diseases have no distinct symp-
toms, but come in the form Of lassitude,
loss Of appetite, aching muscles and
joints, dull headaches, pains ia the back.

only one means Of escape, which is by
the use Of Warmers Safe Cure, The
importance Of taking this great remedy
upon the slightest appearance OF any oi
the above symptoms cannot be toe

all readers who desire ia escape death
and pain and prolong life with all it
