Late to Save His Parent.

Dedths LIE cch
Late to Save His Parent.
The graphic occurrence that Is de-
sc,ibed below is one of the most remark
able episodes in the domestic history OF
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 chat MI.
Clinton Rindge, one of their most prom
inent citizens, had committed suicide.
The news spread rapidly and aroused
the entire neighborhCod where MI.
Rindge was so wellan favorably known.
At first it seemed impossible that any
one SO quiet and domestic could do so
rash deed, and the inquiry was heard
on every SIDE as to the cause. The iacts
as developed on investigation proved 10
be as follows:
Mr.. Rindge was domestic in his tastes
and took the greatest enjoyment IN the
society of his children and pride In thelr
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 ielt unusually sired each day,
and would sometimes sleep the entire
afternoon if permitted to do so. His
bead panied MIN, not acutesy, out Win
dull, heavy feeling. There was SINK
ing sensation at the pit OF his stomach:
He lost all relish for food and much OF
his interest for things about him. de
tried manfully to overcome these feel
ings, but they seemed stronger than nus
will. He began to lose flesh rapidly.
The father became alarmed and consuls-
ed physicians as to the cause OF his sons
illness, but they were unable to explain.
Finally severe sores broke out on his
arms and he was taken to Buffalo where
| a painful operation was performed re-
sulting in the loss of mucn blood but
affirming little relief The young mar
returned home and a council OF ply
sicians was called. After an exhaustive
examination they declared there was nc
hope of final recovery an that he mus
die within very few days. To describe
tie 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 it, but the load was too great. Ii
an agony of frenzy he seized knife ant
took his own life, preferring death rathe
than to survive his idolized son. At tina
time William Rindge was too weak Il
know what was transpiring. His fac
had turned black, his breath ceased en-
tirely at tunes, and his friends waitet
for his death believing that the fien'
Bright's disease of the kidneys, iron
which he was suffering could not be re
moved. In this supreme momen
Williams sister came forward and de
clared she would make a final attemp
to save her brother. The doctors intel
posed, assuring her it was useless an
that she would only hasten the end b
the means she proposed to employ. Bv
she was firm, and putting all back; az
preached her brothers side and admin
istered remedy which she fortunatel
had on hand. Within an hour he seen
ed more easy, and before the day wa
over he showed signs OF decided In
provement, These favorable signs COZ
Iinued, and to-day William b. Rindge
well, having been virtually raised froI
the dead through the marvellous powe
of Warmers Safe Cure, as can be readil
verified by any citizen of Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the fac
above described must have feeling
!, sadness. The father dead by his ow
hands, supposing his sons recovery
be impossible; the son restored to healt
/, to mourn the loss of his father and Ii
: asonized relatives with a memory OF sa'
ness to forever darken their lives. Hs
: Clinton Rindge known that bis SC
could recover he would to-day be ally
|, and happy, but the facts which turnt
: his brain and caused him to comm
suicide were such as any one would a
q cept as true.
However sad this case may be, Il
truth remains that thousands of Peep
are at this moment in as great actu
peril as William Rindge and in as gre
Hanger of causing misery if not death
their friends. Liver and kidney diseas
are become the most common and me
dangerous of any or all modern col
plants. They are the most deceptive
their beginnings and horrible in the
= final stages. They are far moIe decepti
VI than Consumption, and can rarely
detected even by sxillful physicians U
d less microscopic analysis be resorted

this. Their slightest approach, or p
sibility of approach should strike teri
