A father Despair and solf-Infioted Death.
HIS Sons Final Rescue, Too Late 10 Save
His Parent
The graphic occurrence that is described
below is one of the most remarkable epi-
sodes in the domestic history Of Amertd.
II is absolute truth which eau readily be
verified.
The inhabitants Of the pleasant town Of
Cortland, N. Y, were shocked one morning
by the announcement that Mr.. Clinton
Rndge, one Of their most prominent cti-
sens, had committed suicide The news
spread rapidly and aroused the entire neigh
borhood where Mr.. Rnige was so well and
lavorably known. At first It seemed i'm
possible that any one so quiet and domestic
could do 90 rash a deed, and the inquiry
was heard on every side as to the cause.
The facts as developed on investigation
proved to be as follows;
Mr.. Rindge was domestic In his tastes
and took the greatest enjoyment in the
society of his children aud pride in their
development. And indeed he had good
reason to be proud Tor they gave promise of
long lives of success and usefulness But
an evil day came. His youngest son, Will
liam, began to show signs of an early decay.
He felt unusually tired each day aud would
sometimes sleep the entire afternoon IT
permitted to do so His head panied him
not scutely, but with dull, heavy feeling
There was a sinking sensation at the pit o +
his stomach He lost all relish for food
and much Of his interest for things about
him. lie tried manlully to overcome these
feelings, but they seemed stronger than his

father became alarmed and consulted
physicians as to the cause of hls sons i'll.

Finally severe sores broke out on his arms
and he was taken to Buffalo where pain.
lul operation was performed resulting in
the loss of much blood but aflording little
relief. The young man returned home and
a council Of physicians was called. After
an exhaustive examination they declare
there was no hope ot final recovery and
that he must die within very few DAYS.
To describe the agony which this announce
ment caused the lather would be impossible.
HIS mind failed to grasp its iull meaning
al first; then finally seemed to comprehend
1t, but the load was too great. lna agony
of frenzy he seized a knife and took his
own life, preerring death rather than to
survive his idolisad son. At that time
William Rlndge was tuo weak to know what
was lranspiring. His fnce had turned black,
his breath ceased entirely at times, an d his
friends waited for his death believing that
the fiend Brighls disease OF the kidneys,
from which he was suffering, could not be
removed. In this supreme moment Will
liam's sister came forward and declared she
would make final attempt to save her
brother. The doctors interposed, assuring
her it wa9 useless and 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
administered remedy which she fOrtun.
ately had on hand. Within on hour he
seemed more easy, and before the day was
over he showed signs of decided improve

citizen of Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have a feeling OF sad

loss of his father and the agonised relatives
with memory of sadness to forever darken
their lives Had Clinton Rndge 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
his moment in as great actual peril as
William Rindge and in as great danger Of
causing misery il not death to their friends
LIVER and kidney diseases are become the
most common and most dangerous OF any or
all modern complaints. They are the
most deceptive in their beginnings and
horrible in their final stages. They are far
more deceptive than Consumption, and can
rarely be detected even by skillful physi-
clans unless microscopic analysis be re
sorted to, aud few doctors understand how
to do this. Their slightest approach, or
possibility Of approach should strike terror
to the one who Is threatened as we'll as to
all his or her friends. These diseases have
