One of the most remarkable occurrences
ever given to the public, which took place
here in our midst, has just come to our
knowledge and will undoubtedly awaken
as much surprise and attract as great at
tention as it has already in newspaper cir
Mr.. William A. Crombie, young man
formerly residing at Birmingham, sub
urb of Detroit, and now living at 287 Michi-
gan Avenue in this city, can truthfully
say that he has looked into the future
world and yet returned to this. A repre-
him upon this important subject and his
experiences are given to the public for the
first time. He said:

tions for a long while. My head felt dull
and heavy; my eyesight did not seem SO
clear as formerly; my appetite was qncer-
tain and l was unaccountably tired. 1t

yet could not sleep at night. My mouth
tasted badly; had faint all-gone sensa-
tion in the pit of my stomach that food did
not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt
cold and clammy. was nervous and irri-
table, and lost all enthusiasm. At times my
head would seem to whirl and my heart
palpitated terribly. 1 had no energy, no
ambition, and / seemed Indifferent of the
present and thoughtless for the future. I
tried to shake the feeling off and persuade
myself it was simply cold or little ma

" and it has been valuable lesson to me.
I am certain, though, there are thousands
of men and women at this very moment
who have the same ailment which came SO

more dangerous. 1t is killing more people,

against it and urge them to remove it from

One of the members of the firm of White

mingham Eccentric, paid fraternal visit
to this office yesterday, and in the course
of conversation, MI. Crombie's name was

Rev. A. r. Bartlett, formerly pastor of
the M. E. Church, at Birmingham, and
now of Schoolcraft, Mich, in response to
telegram, replied:
'sMr. w. A. Crombie, was member of

No one person in million ever comes 80
near death as did Mr.. Crombie and then
recover, but the men and women who are
drifting toward the same end, are legion.
To note the slightest symptoms, to realize
their significance and to meet them in time
by the remedy which has been shown to be
the most efficient, is duty from which
there can be no escape. They are fortu-
nate who do this; they are on the sure road
to death who neglect it.
