Daath-His Sons Final Rescue, Too
Lste to Save HIS Parent.
The graphic occurrence that is described be-
low lis one of the most remarkable episodes In
| the domestic history OF America. II is absolute
| truth which can readily be verified:
The Inhabitants OF the pleasant town OF Cort-
| land, N. Y, were shocked one morning by the
announcement that MIR. Clinton Rlndge, one OF
| their most prominent citizens, had committed
suicide. The news spread rapidly and aroused
the entire eighborhood where Mr.. Rindge was
so well and favorably known. At firstit 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 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 and pIide 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 young
est son, William 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 dull, heavy feeling. There
was sinking sensation at the pit Of the stom-
ach. he lost all relish for food and much of
his interest for things about him. He tried
manfully to overcome these feelings but they
seemed stronger than his will. He began to lose
flesh rapidly. The father became alarmed and
'nsulted physicians as to the cause of bis sons
Illness, but they were unable to explain. Final
iy severe sores broke out on Ills arms and he
was taken to Buffalo where painful operation
was performed, resulting in the loss of much
blood but shordlng little relief. The young man
returned home and council Of physicians was
called. After an exhaustive examina ZION they de-
ciared there was no hope OF final recovery and
that he must die within very few days. To de-
scribe the agony which this announcement
caused The father would be impossible. His
mind failed to grasp Its full meaning at first;
then hnaIly seemed to comprehend it, but the
load was 100 great. In an agony Of frenzy he
seized knife and took his own life, preferring
death rather than to survive his idolized SON
AT that time William Rlndge was too weak to

turned black, his breath ceased entirely at
times, and bis friends waited for his death be-
hevlng that the fend Brlght's disease of the
kidneys, from which he was SUFFERING. could not
be removed. III this supreme moment Williams
sister came forward and declared she would
make final attempt 10 save her brother. The
doctors interpreted, 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

can be readily verified by any citizen Of
Cortland.
any one who reflects upon the facts above
described must have feeling of sadness The

recover be would to-day be alive and happy.
but the facts which turned his brain and
caused him to commit suicide were such as
any would accept as true.
However sad this case may be, the truth re-
mains, that thousands Of people are at this
moment IN az great actual peril as William
Riudge and in as great danger OF causing mis-
cry If not death to their friends. Liver and
kidney diseases are become the most common
and most dangerous of any or all modern COM
plants. They are the most deceptive in their
Ieelnnings aud horrible in their fual stages.
They are far more deceptive than Consump-
ton, aud can rarely be detected
even by skful physicians unless
microscopic analysis be resorted to, and
few doctors understand how to do this. Their
slightest approach, or possibility of approach
should strike terror to the one who is threat

These diseases have no distinct symptoms, but
come in the form Of lassitude, loss OF appetite,
aching muscles and joints, dull headaches,
pains in the back, stomach and chest, sour
stomach, recurring signs Of cold, irregular
pulsatlons of the heart, and frequent dizziness.
If neglected. these symptoms are certain to
run into chronic Adney and liver or Bright's
