4 Fathers Despair and Self Inflicted
Death His sons Final Rescue
Too Late to save His Parent.

The graphic occurrence that is described
below is one of the most remarkable cpl
sodeS i'm the domestic history of America
Ii is absolute truth which can readily he
verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant town of
Cortland, y. v, were shocked one morn
ing by the announcement that Mr.. Clinton
Rindgc, one of their most prominent cit-'
Zcns, had committed suicide. The news
spread rapidly and reused the entire
neighborhood where Mr.. Rindge was so
well and favOrably known. At first il
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 OH in
vestigation proved to he as follows:
Mr.. Rindge was domestic in his tastes
society of his children and pride in them
development. And indeed he had good
reason to he 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 felt unusually tired each day
and would sometimes sleep the entire af-
tcrnoon if permitted To do so. His head
panied him, not acutely, but with dull,
heavy feeling. There was sinking sen
sation at the pit Of his stomach. He lost
all relish for food and much of his interest
for things about him. He tried manfuly
to overcome these feelings. but they
seemed stronger than his will. lie began
to lose flesh rapidly. The father became
alarmed and consulted 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 painful opera
ton was performed resulting in the loss
of much blood but aflording little relief.
The young man returned hsme and a
council of physicians was 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 an
nounccment caused the father would he
impossible. His mind failed To grasp its
full meaning at first: then finally seemed
to comprehend it, but the load was too
great. In an agony of frenzy he seized n
knife and took his own life, prefcrring
death rather than to survive his idolized
too weak to know what was TRANSPORTING.
His face had turned black, his breath
ceased entirely at times, and his friends
waited for his death believing that the
fiend Bright's disease of the kidneys, from
which he was suffering, could not he re-
moved. In this supreme moment Williams
sister came forward and declared she
a.
brother. The doctors interposed, assur-
ing 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.
Within an hour he seemed more easy and
before the day was over he showed signs
of decided improvement. These favora-
able signs continued, and to-day William
b. Rindge is well, having been virtually
raised from the dead through the marvel
Gus power of Warmers Safe Cure, as can
be readily verified by any citizen of Cort-
land.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have a feeling of sad
ness. The father dead by his own hand,
surprising his sons recovery to be impos-
sible: the son restored to health to mourn
the loss of his father and the agoniZcd
relatives with a memory of sadness to
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 at
this moment in as great actual peril as
| William Rindge and in as great danger of
| causing misery il 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 i'm
their beginnings and horrible i'm their
final stages. They are far more deceptive
than Consumption, and can rarely be de-
tected even by skillful physicians unless
microscopic analysis be restored to. and
few doctors understand how to do this.
Their slightest approach or possibility of
approach should strike terror to the one
who is threatened as well as to all his
or her friends. 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. irregu-
lar pulsations of the heart, and frequent
dizziness. If neglected, these symptoms
are certain to run into chronic kidney and
liver or Brights disease, from which there
is sure to be a great amount of agony and
only one means of escape, which is by the
use of Warmers Safe Cure. The import
ance of taking this great remedy upon
the slightest appearance of any of the
above symptoms cannot be too strongly
| impressed upon the minds of all readers
who desire to escape death and pain and
DrolOng life with all it's pleasures and
blessings.
