crlbed below is n Of the most remark
able episodes in the domestic history of
America. 1t is absolute truth which
can readily be verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant town
OF Cortland, N. Y. were shocked one
morning by the announcement that Mr..
Clinton Rindge, one oftheir most prom
lnent citizens, had committed suicide.
The news spread rapidly and aroused
the etnire neighhorhood where Mr..
Rindge was so well and favorably known.
AT first it seemed impossible hat any
one so quiet and domestic could do so
rash a 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 pride 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 cd 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 whole af-
~ternoon if permitted to do so. His head
panied him, not acutely. but with a dull,
heavy feeling. There was a sinking sem
sation at the pit of his stomach. He lost
all relish for food and much of his inter-
est for things about him. He tried man
fully to overcome these feelings, but
they seemed stronger than lis will. He
began to lose flesh rapidly. Thefather be-
came 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 a painful operation was performed
resulting in the loss of much bib 1 but
affording little relief. The young man
returned home and a council Of physi-
clans was called. After an exhaustive
examination they declared there was no
hope of final recovery and that he must
die within a very few days. TO describe
the agony which this ement
caused the father would be impossible.
His mind failed to grasp it's full meaning
at first; then finally seemed to compre-
bend it, bnt the load was too great. In
an agony of frenzy he seized q knife and
took his own life, preferring death rath-
er than to survive his idolized son. At
that time William Rindge was too weak
to know what was Transporting. His face
had turned black, his breath ceased n
tirely 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
be removed. In this supreme moment
Williams sister came forward and de-
clared she would make a final attempt
to save Ter brother. The doctors in
terposed, 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 brothers side and adj
ministered a remedy which she FORUM
ately had on hand. Within an hour he
seemed more easy, and befor re the day
was over he showed signs of decided
improvement. These favorable signs
continued, and to-day William b.
Rindge is we'll, having been virtually
raised from the dead through the mar
velous power of Warmers Safe Cure, as
can tse readily verified by any citizen of
Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have a feeling of
sadness. The father, dead by his own
hand, surprising MS sons recoyeryt to be
impossible; the son restored health to
mourn the loss OF his father and the ag-
| onized relatives with a memory of sad
ness to forever darken their lives. Had
| Clinton Ridge 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 n would accept as
| true.
However sud this case ma be, the
| truth remains that thousands of people
are at this moment in us great actual
peril as William Rindge and in as great
danger Of causing misery il not death to
their friends. Liver and Kidney di-
| seases are become the most common and
most dangerous OF any or all modern
| complaints. They are the most decep-
| tive in their beginnings and horrible in
their final stages. They are far more
| deceptive than consumption, and can
rarely be detected even by skillful ply
| sicians unless a microscopic analysis be
| resorted to, and few doctors understand
how TO do this. Their slightest APP
proach, or possibility ofapproach should
| strike terror TO the u VINO Is tiireat'
| ened as well as to all his or her friends
These diseases have no distinct symp-
| toms, but come in the form OF lassitnde,
loss Of appetite, aching muscles and
joints, dull headaches, pains inthe back.
| stomach and chest. o stomach. re-
curing signs of cold, irregular puisations
Of the heart, and frequent dizziness.
If neglected, these symptoms are Ger.
