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 aud attract as great at
tention as it has already in newspaper
circles. The facts are, briefly, as follows:
Mr.. William A. Crombie, a young man
formerly residing at Birmingham, a suburb
of Detroit, and now living at 2SI Michig an
Avenue in tLis city, can truthfully say that
he has looked into the future world and yet
returned TO this. A representative of this
paper has interviewed him upon this i'm
portant subject and his experiences are
given to the public for the first time. He
said:
II had been having most peculiar sensa-
tons for long while. My head felt dull
and heavy; my eyesight did not seem so
clear as formerly; my appetite was uncer-
tain and l was unaccountably tired. Is
was an effort to arise in the morning and
yet could not sleep at night. My mouth
tasted badly, had faint all-gone -sensa-
ton in the pit of my stomach tuat food did
not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt
cold and clsmmy. was nervous and lrrl-
table, and lost all enthusiasm. AT times
my head would sc EN- TO whirl and my heart
palpitated terribly. l had no energy, no
ambition, and seemed indifferent OF tue
present and ttoughtless fer the future. L
tried to shake the feeling off and pursuade
myself it was simply a cold or a little ma
laria. But it would not go. was deter
mined not to give up, and so time passed
along and all the while was getting worse.
1t was about this time that noticed L had
begun to bloat fearfully. MY limbs were
swollen SO that by pressing my fingers
upon them deep dspressions would be
made. Ny face also began to enlarge, and
continued to until l could scarcely see out
of my eyes. One OF my friends, describ-
ing my appearance at that time, said: 1T

to know what Ia this condition passed
several weeks of the greatest agony.
Finally, one Saturday night, the misery
eliminated. Nature could endure no more.

bic. Cold sweat gathered ON my forehead ;
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, al
though l have since learned IL was con-
sidered as death by those who stood by.
1t was to me a quiet state, and yet one of
great agony. l was helpless, hopeless, and
pain was my only companion. l renem-

terrible it WAS. AT last the strain upon
my mind gave way and all was blank.
How long this continued L do not know,
but at last lrealized the presence of friends
and recognized my mother. | then thought
it was earth, but was not certain. l grad

the pain lessened. l found that my friends

before in my life, have no traces of the
terrible acute Brights disease, which sc
nearly killed me, and all through the won
derful instrumentality of Warmers Safe
Cure, the remedy that brought me to life
after l was virtually in another world"
4" You have had an unusual experience
| Mr.. Crombie," said the writer who hao
been breathlessly listening to the recital
:" Yes, l think | have" was the reply
sand it has been a valuable lesson to me
| / am certain, though, there are thousands
of men and women at this very moment
| who have the same ailnent which came sc
near killing me, and they do not know it.
| l believe kidney disease is the most decep

thief in the night. IL has no certain symp

more dangerous. 1t is killing more people

world against it and 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 fraternal visi
to this office yesterday, and in the cours,
of conversation, Mr.. Crombie's name wa!
! mentioned.
" L knew about his Sickness" said thu
editor, " and his recognizable recovery.
had his obituary all in type and announce
in the Eccentric that he could not live unit
its next issue. 1t was certainly mos
wonderful case"
Rev. A. r.. Bartlett, formerly pastor o.
the NJ. Z. Church, at Birmingham, and nov
of Schoolcraft, Mich, in response to a tele
gram, replied:
4" Mr.. w. a. Crombie was a member O.
my congregation at the time of his sick
ness. The prayers of the church were re
quested tor him on two different occasions
1 was with him the day he was reported by
his physicians as dying, and consider hi
recovery almost q miracle.o
Not one person in a million ever come
so near death as did Mr.. Crombie and thel
recover, but the men and women who ar
drifting toward the same end are legion
To note the slightest symptoms, TO realiz
their Significance and TO meet them in tim
by the remedy which has been shown to b
most efficient, is duty from which Their
can be no escape. They are fortunate VIII
do this; they are on the sure road to deaf
who neglect it,
