One of the most remarkable occurrences
ever given to the public, which took place
here in our midst, has just come to our
and will undoubtedly awaken
as much surprise and attract as great at
as it has already in newspaper
circles. The facts are, briefly, as follows:
Mr.. William A. Crombie, a young man
formerly residing at Birmingham, a suburb
of Detroit, and now living at 2S1 Michigan
in this city, can truthfully say that
he has looked into the future world and yet
to this. A representative of this
paper has interviewed him upon this inn
subject and his experiences are
given to the public for the first time. He
said:

lions for a long while. My head felt dull
n heavy; my eyesight did not seem so
clear as formerly; my appetite was uncer-
tain and I was unaccountably tired. It
was an effort to arise in the morning and
yet l could not sleep at night. My mouth
tasted badly, l had a faint all-gone sensa.

not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt
cold and clammy. 1 was nervous and irri-

palpitated terribly. l had no energy, no
ambition, and l seemed Indifferent of the
present and thoughtless for the future. I
tried to shake the feeling off and pursuade
myself it was simply a cold or a little ma
laria. But it would not go. l was deter.
mined not to give up, and so time passed
along Inc all the while was getting worse.
1t was about this time that ! noticed had
begun to bloat fearfully. My limbs were
swollen SO that by pressing my fingers
upon them deep depressions would be
made. My face also Logan to enlarge, and
continued to until I could scarcely see out
of my eyes. One of my friends, describ-
ing my appearance at that time, said: 1T

several weeks of the greatest agony.
FINALLY, one Saturday night, the misery

nothing of what occurred around me, al

terrible it was. At last the strain upon
my mind gave way and all was a blank.
How long this continued l do not know,
but at last Irealized the presence of friends
and recognized my mother. l then thought
it was earth, but was not certain. l grad.

"You ave had an unusual experience

I am certain, though, there are thousands
of men and women at this very momen
who have the same ailment which came Sc

I believe kidney disease is the most decep

II of the members of the firm of White

to this office yesterday, and in the cours'
of conversation, Mr.. Crombie's name wa
mentioned.

editor, " and his remarkable recovery.
had his obituary all in type and announces
in the Eccentric that he could not live unit
its next issue. 1t was certainly a mos
wonderful case"
Rev. A. R. Bartlett, formerly pastor o
the NJ. E. Church, at Birmingham, and nov
of Schoolcraft, Mich, in response to a tele
gram, replied:
"Mr. w. A. Crombie was a member o
my congregation at the time of his sick
ness. The prayers of the church were re
quested for him on two different occasions
I was with him the day he was reported b
his physicians as dying, and consider hi
recovery almost a miracle"
Not one person in a million ever come
so near death as did Mr.. Crombie and the
recover, but the men and women who ar
drifting toward the same end are legior
To note the slightest symptoms, to realiz
their significance and to meet them in tim
by the remedy which has been shown to /
most efficient, is a duty from which Their
can De no escape. They are fortunate VIII
