A TRAGIC EVENT.
A Fathers Despair and Self-Inhicted
Death. His Sons Final Rescue,
100 Late to Save His Parent.

The graphic occurrence that is described
below is one of the most remarkable cpl
s' dc in the domestic history of America.
1t Is absolute truth which can readily be
verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant town of
Cortland, N. Y, were shocked one morning
by the announcement that Mr.. Clinton
kindge, one of their most prominent citi-
zens, had committed suicide. The news
spread rapidly and aroused the entire
neighborhood where Mr.. Rindge was so
we'll and favorably known. At first it
seemed impossible that any one SO quiet
and domestic could do 80 rash deed, and
the enquiry was heard on every side as to
the cause. The facts as developed on in
vestigation proved to be as follows
Mr.. Rindge was domestic in his tastes
and took the greatest enjoyment in the So
clety 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, Will
lam, began TO show signs of an early decay.
He felt unusually tired each day, and
would sometimes sleep the entire afternoon
if permitted to do so. His head panied
him, not acutely, but with q dull, heavy
feeling. There was sinking sensation at
the pit of his stomach. He lost all relish
for food and much of his interest for things
about him. Hetried msnfully to overcome
these feelings, but they seemed stronger
than his will. He began TO lose flesh rap
idly. The father became alarmed and con-
suited physicians as to the cause of his son 8
illness, but they were unable to explain
Finally severe sores broke out on his arms
and he was taken to Buffalo where pain.
full operation was performed resulting in
the loss Of much blood but affording little
relief. The young man returned home and
council of physicians were called. After
an exhaustive examination they declared
there was no hope of final recovery and
that he must die within very few days.
To describe the agony which this announce
ment caused the father would be impossi-
bic. His mind failed to grasp Its full
meaning at first; then finally seemed to
comprehend it, but the lead was too great
In an agony of FRENZY he seized a knife
and took bis own life, preferring deatt
rather than to survive his idolized son. A
that time William Rindge was too weak t.
know what was transporting. His face hsc
turned black, his breath ceased entirely q
times, and his friends waited for his deatt
believing that the iend Bright's disease Of
the kidneys, from which he was suffering
could not be removed. la this supreme
moment Williams sister came forward and
declared she would make final attempt to
save her brother. The doctors interposed,
assuring her it was 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 a remedy
which she fortunately had on hand. With
in an hour he seemed more easy, and be.
fore the day was over he showed signs of
decided improvement These favorable
signs continued, and to-day William B.
Rindge is well, having been virtually raised
from the head through the marvellous pow
er of Warmers Safe Cure, as can be really
verified by any citizen of Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have a feeling of
sadness. The father, dead by his own
hand, supposing his sons recovery to be
impossible; the son restored to health to
mourn the loss of his father and the agoniz-
ed relatives with memory of sadness tc
forever darken their lives. Had Clinton
Rindge 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 al
this moment in as great actual peril as Viii.
liam Rindge and in as great danger Of
causing misery if not death to his 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
physicians unless microscopic analysis be
resorted to, and few doctors understand
IN do ~.
