A TRAGIC EVENT.

Late to Save His Parent.
The graphic occurrence that is de
scribed below is one of the mos. remark
able episodes in the domestic history o
America. 1t is absolute truth which car
readily be verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant towr
of Cortland, N. Y, were shocked ont
morning by the announcement that MIR
Clinton Rlndge, one OF their most prom.
| inent cilizens, had committed suicide
The news spread rapidly and aroused
the entire neighborhCod where Mr.

At tiIst 1t seemed impossible that any
one 30 quiet and domestic could do SC

on every side as to the cause. The facts
as developed on investigation proved 10

But an evil day came. HIS youngest son,

Finally severe sores broke out Oh his

examination they declared there was NO
hope OF final recovery an that he must
die within very few days. To describe
tie agony which this announcement
caused the father would be impossible.
His mind failed to grasp its full meaning
at hrst; then finally seemed to compre-
hend il, but the load was too great. In
an agony OF frenzy he seized knife ana
took his own life, preterrin death rather
than to survive his idolized son. At that
time William Rindge was too weak "

Bright's disease of the kidneys, from
winch he was suffering could not be re-
moved. In this supreme moment
Williams sister came forward and de-
clared she would make final attempt
to save her brother. The doctors inter
posed, assuring her it was useless and
that she would only hasten the end by
the means she proposed TO employ. But
she was tirm, and putting all back, ap-
preached her brothers side and admin-

well, having been virtually raised from
the dead through the marvellous power
OF Warmers Sale Cure, as can be readily
verified by any citizen of Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have feeling o.
sadness. The father dead by his own
hands, supposing his sons recovery to
be impossible; the son restored to health
to mourn the loss Of his father and the
agonized relatives with memory OF sad
ness 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
mis- brain and caused him to commit
suicide were such as any one would ac-
cept 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 greal
danger of causing misery if 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 III

final stages. They are far more deceptive

and few doctors understand how to dc

symptoms are certain to run into chronic

which there is sure to be a great amount
of agony and only ore means of escape
which is by the use of Warmers Safe

not be too strongly impressed upon the
minds of all readers who desire 10 escape
