The graphic cccurren that is de -cribel
below is enc of the most remarkal lie p.sodes
in the don este history of America 1t is
abso ute truth which can readily be verifi d.
The inhabit nts of tie pleasant town of
Cortland, N. y, were shocked one morning
by the announcement that Mr. Cl nton
Rindge, one OF their most pro ninent citizens,
had committed suicide. The I ews spread
rapidly and aroused the entire neighb rho
where Mr.. Rindge WIS so we ] and favorab'y
known. At first it seemed mp ssilre that
any one SO quiet and dome stic coull do so
rash deed, and the inquiry was heard on
every side as t. the eau o. The facts as de
veloped ON inv estigation proved to be as
follows:
Mr.. Rin1ge was domestic in his tastes and
took the greatest enjoyment in the society of
his children and pride in their dey elopment
And indeed he had good reason to be proud
for they gay promise of long lives of success
and usefu ness. But an evil day came. His
youngest SOIL William, began to show signs
of an early decay. lie felt unusually tired
each day, and would sometimes sleep tie en-
tire afternoon if permit ted to do so. His head
panied him, not acutey, but with dull,
heavy feeling. There was a sinking sensation
at the pit OF his stoma h. He lost al relish
for fool and much of his interest for things
about him, He tried, nan,n i to over,
stronger than his will. He began to
lose flesh ragidy The father Ieclme
alarmed and consulted physi ian5 as to The
cause of his ms line s, but they were una

William Rindge was too weak to know
what was transpiring. His face had
turned bla k, his brt ath ceased entirely at
times, and his fri nds waited for his death,
believing that the fiend RI hts di ease of
the kidneys, from which he va sui er r,
could not be r moved. In this supremn mo-
ment " illam's sister came forward and de-
clared she would make final attempt to save

his SON recovery to be impossible; the son
restored to health to mourn the loss of his
fathC and the agonized relatives with a mem
DRY of sadness to forever darben their lives.
Had Clinton Rindgc known that his son could
recover he would to-day tie alive and happy
causel him to commit sui, lie were such as
any one would accept as true.
Howeve' sad this case may be, the truth
remains that thousands OF people are at tbs
moment IN as g eat actual peril as William
kindge ind in as great danger of causing
misery if not death TO their friends. Liver
and kidney sea es are be- ONE the m st
common and IN S. dangerous Of any or all
modern com laints. They are the most de-
ceptive in their BEGINNINGS and horrible in
their final stages They are far more decep
tive than consumption and can rarely be de
tected even by skillfEl physi ians unless n
microscopic analysis be reSorted to, and few
doctors understand how to do this Their
slightest approach, or possibility of
app zach should strike terror to the one
who is threatened as well as 10
all his or her friends. These diseases have no
distinct sympt ms, but come in the form of
lassitude, loss of app etite aching muscles and
joints, dull headaches, pains in the back,
stomach and chest, sour stomach, recurring
signs Of cold, irregular Iuslt ons of the
heart, ard FIRE Iuent dizziness. If neglected
these symptoms are certain to run into chron-
ic HI ney AMI liver or Bright dis ase, from
which there is sure to be great amount Of
agony and only one means of es 'aIe, viii h
is by the use of Warmers Safe Cure. The
Importance of taking this great emedy upon
the slightest appearance of any of the al owe
symptoms cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the III nGs of all readers who desire to
es a 9e death and pain and prJlong life with
all its pleasures and blessings.
