A Fathers Despair and Self Inflicted Death
His Sons Final Rescue Too Late to Save
His Parent.
The graphic occurrence that Ia described
below is one of the most remarkable episodes
in the domestic history OF America. IL is alb
solute 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 OF their most prominent citizens had
committed suicide. The news spread rapidly
and aroused the entire neghborhood where
Mr.. Rindge was 80 well and fayorably known.
At first IL seemed impossible that any one so
quiet and domestic could do so rash deed,
and the inquiry was heard on every side as TO
the cause. The facts as developed on investi-
cation proved TO be AS follows
Mr.. Rindge was domestic in his tastes, aud
took the greatest enjoyment in the society OF
his children and pride in their development.
And indeed he had good reason TO be proud,
Tor they gave promise OF long lives of sue
cess ana usefulness. But an evil day came.
His youngest son, william, began to show
signs or an early decay. He felt unusually
tired each day, and would sometimes sleep
the entire afternoon IL permitted TO do SO.
His head panied him, not acutely, but with a
dun, heavy feeling. There was a sinking sem
sation at the pit OF his stomach. He lost all
relish for food and much of his interest for
things about him. He tried manfully to over
come these feelings, but they seemed stronger
than his will. He began TO lose flesh rapidly.
The father became 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 painful opera
ton was performed, resulting in the loss OF
much blood, but atiording little relief The
young man returned home and "a council of
physicians 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 announcement caused the father
would be impossible. His mind failed TO
grasp its full meaning at first; then finally
seemed TO comprehend it, but the load was
too great. In agony of frenzy he seized
a knife and took his own life, preferring
death rather 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 entirely ar
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
declared she would make final attempt to
save her brother. The doctors interposed, as
surfing 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, ap-
preached her brothers side and administered
II remedy which she fortunately had on hand
Within an hour he seemed more easy, and be-
fore the day was over he showed signs of de-
cided Improvement These favorable signs
continued, andl to-day William Ii. Rindge is
well, having been virtually raised from the
deadsthrough the marvellous power of War
ner's Safe Cure, as can be readily verified by
any citizen of Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the facts above
described must have feeling of sadness.
The father, dead by his own hand, supposing
his sons recovery to be impossible; the son
restored to health to mourn the loss of his
father; and the agonized relatives with a
memory of sadness 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 his
brain and caused him to commit suicide were
such as any one would accept 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 great 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 complaints. They are the most de-
ceptve in their beginnings and horrible in
their final stages. They are far more decep-
tive than Consumption, and can rarely be
detected, even by skillfu physicians, unless
q microscopic analysis be resorted to, and
few doctors understand how to do this. Their
slightest approach, or possibility of approach,
should strike terror TO the one who is threat
ened as well as TO all his or her friends.
These diseases have no distinct symptoms,
but come in the form of lasstude,
loss of appetite, aching muscles and joints,
dull headaches, pains IN the back. stomach
and chest, sour stomach, recurring signs of
cold, irregular pulsatons OF the heart, and
frequent dizziness. If neglected, these symp-
toms are certain TO run into chronic kidney
and liver or Bright's disease, from which
there is sure TO be great amount of agony
and only one means of escape, which is 10y
tue use of Warmers safe Cure. The import
ance of taking this great remedy upon the
slightest appearance OF any OF the above
symptoms cannot be too strongly impressed
upon the minds of all readers who desire to
escape death and pain and prolong life, with
