One of the most remarkable occurrences
ever given to the public, which took place
here in our midst. has just come to u
knowledge and will undoubtedly awaken
as much surprise and attract as great at
tention as it has already in newspaper cir
cles. The facts are, briefly, as follows:
Mr.. William A. Crombie, a young man
urb of Detroit, and now living at 2S7 Michi-
gan Avenue in this city, can %truthfully
say that he has looked into the future
world and yet returned to this. A repre-
sentative of this paper has interviewed
him upon this important subject and his
experiences are given to the public for the
first time. He said:
Il had been having most peculiar sensa-
tons for a long while. My head felt dull
and heavy; my eyesight did not seem 80
clear as formerly; my appetite was uncer-
tain n l was ~unaccountably tired. 1t
was an effort to rise in the morning and
yet l could not sleep at night. My mouth
tasted badly; l had a faint all-gOne sensa
ton in the pit of my stomach that food did
not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt
cold and clammy. l was nervous and irri-
table, and lost all enthusiasm. At times my
head would seem to whirl and my hear
palpitated terribly. / had no energy, no
ambition, and l seemed Indifferent of the
present and thoughtless for the future. l
tried to shake the feeling off and persuade
myself it was simply a cold or a little ma
mined not to give up, and so time passed
along I'M all the while l was getting
worse. 1t was about this time that l no.
ticed / had begun to bloat fearfully. My
limbs were swollen SO that by pressing my
fingers upOn them deep impressions would
be made. My face also began to enlarge,
and continued to until l could scarcely see
out of my eyes. One of my friends, de-
scribing my appearance at that time, said:
1T is an animated something, but l should
like to know what In this condition !
passed several weeks of the greatest
agony.
FINALLY, one Saturday night, the misery
eliminated. Nature could endure no more.
l became irrational and apparently insen-
sible. Cold sweat gathered on my fore
head; my eyes became glazed and my
throat ratified. l seemed to be in another
sphere and with other surroundings. l
knew nothing of what occurred around
me, although l lave since learned 1t was
considered as death by those who stood
by. 1t was to me a quiet state. yet one of
great agony. l was helpless, hopeless and
pain was my only companion. l remember
trying to see what was beyond me, but the
mist before my eyes was too great. l tried
to reason, but l had lost all power. l fel n
that it was death, and realized how terri
BILE 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 l realized the presence of friends and
recognized my mother. l then thought it
was earth, but was not certain. / gradu-

the pain lessened. / found that my friends
had, duringmy Inconsistencies, been Civ

fore, and the next day, under the influence
of this treatment, the bloating began to
disappear and from that time on l steadily

wonderful. instrumentality of Warmers
Safe Cure, the remedy that brought me to
life after l was virtually in another world"
"You have had In unusual experience,
Mr.. Crombie," said the writer who had
been breathlessly listening to the recital.
Eyes, / think l have" was the reply,
and it has been a valuable lesson to me.
l am certain, though, there are thousands
of men and women at this very moment
who have the same ailment which came SO
near killing me, and they do not know it.
l believe kidney disease is the most decept-
i've trouble in the world. 1t m like a
thief in the night. 1t has nc certain symp-
toms, but seems to attack each one differ
emily. 1t is quiet, treacherous. and all the
more dangerous. 1t is killing more people,
to-day, than any other complaint. If l had
the power l would warn the entire world
against it n urge them to remove it from
the system before it is too late"
One of the members of the firm of White
head & Mitchell, %proprietors of the Biz
mingham Eccentric, paid a fraternal visit
of conversation, MI. Crombie's name was
mentioned.
81 knew about his Sickness" said the
editor, "and his remarkable recovery. /
had his obituary all in type and announced
in the Eccentric that he could not live un-
til its as3At issue; 1t was certainly a most
wonderful case"
Rev. A. r.. Bartlett, formerly pastor of
the M. f.. Church, at Birmingham, and
now of Schoolcraft, Mich, in response to
a telegram, replied:
"Mr. w. A. Crombie, was q member of
my congregation at the time of his sick
ness. The prayers of the church were re-
quested for him on wv different occasions.
I was with him the day he was reported
his recovery almost miracle"
No one person in q million ever comes so
near death as did Mr.. CrOmbie and then
recover, but the men n 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 a 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.
