One Of the most remarkable occur
rsnces ever given to the public, which
took place here in our midst, has Just
come to our knowledge and will un-
doubtedly awaken as much surprise and
attract as great attention as it has already
in newspaper circles. The facts are,
briefly, as follows. Mr. William A.
Crombie, young man formerly residing
at Birmingham, suburb of Detioit, and
now living at PSF Michigan Avenue in
this city, can truthluliy say that he has
looked into the future world and yet re-
turned 10 tins. \ representative of this
paper has interviewed him upon this
important subject and his experiences
are given to the public for the first time.
He said:
81 had been having most peculiar SEN
satiuns for a long while. My head felt
duh and heavy my cyesight did not
seem so clear as formerly; my appetite
was uncertain and was unaccountably
tired. 1t was an effort to arise in the
morning and yet : could not sleep at
night. My mouth tasted badly. | had a
faint all-gone sensation in the pit of my

Rev. \. X. Bartlett, formerly pastor of
the VI. +. Church, at Birmingham, and
now of Schoolcraft, Mich. in response
to telegram, replied
"Mr w. 4. Crombe was member of
my congregation at the time Of his sick
ness. The prayers OF the church were
requested for him on two different oc-
Casions. ! was with him the dav he
was reported by his physician as dying,
and consider his recovery almost a
miracle"
Not one person in million ever
comes SO near death as did Mr. Crombie
aud then recover, but the Inen and
women who are drifting toward the
same end, are legion. To note the
slightest symptoms, to realize their sig
nifcance and to meet them in time by
the remedy which has been shown to be
most efficient, is duty from which there
can be no escape. They are fortunate
who do this; they are ON the sure road
to death who neglect it
