A MODERN RESURRECTION.
A Miracle that Took Place In Our Midst
Unknown to the Public--The Details
In Full.


Detroit Free Pre,s.
One of the most remarkable occur
rences 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.. Will
liam A. Crombie, young man formerly
residing at Birmingham, suburb of
Detroit, and now living at 287 Michigan
avenue in this city, can truthfully say
that he has looked into the future
world and yet returned to this. A rep
resentative 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
sensations for long while. My head
felt dull and heavy; my eyesight did
not seem so clear as formerly; my ap-
petite was uncertain and was unac-
countably tired. 1t was an effort to
arise in the morning, and yet
I could not sleep at night. NV
mouth tasted badly, I had a faint
all-gone sensation in the pit of my
stomach that food did not satisfy, while
my hands and feet felt cold and clam
my. was nervous and irritable, and
lost all enthusiasm. At times my head
would seem to whirl and my heart pal
pitated terribly. I had no energy, no
ambition, and I seemed Indifferent of
the present and thoughtless for the fu-
ture. I tried to shake the feeling off
and persuade myself it was simply q
cold or little malaria But it would
not go. Twas determined not to give
up. and so time passed along and all the
while I was getting worse. It was
about this time that ] noticed I had be-
gun to bloat fearfully. My limbs were
swollen so that by pressing my fingers
upon them deep depressions would be
made. My face also began to enlarge,
and continued to until could scarcely
see out of my eyes. One of my friends,
describing my appearance at that time,
said: st is an animated something, but
I should like 10 know what In this
condition I passed several weeks of the
greatest agony"
"Finally, one Saturday night, the
misery eliminated. Nature could en-
dure no more. I became irrational and
apparently insensible. Cold sweat
gathered on my forehead; my eyes be-
came glazed and my throat ratified. I
seemed to be in another sphere and with
other surroundings. knew nothing of
what occurred around me, although
/ have since learned il was con-
sidered as death by those who stood
by. 1t was to me quiet state,
and yet one of great agony. was
helpless, hopeless and pain was my only
companion. / remember trying to see
what was beyond me, but the mist be-
fore my eyes was too great. I tried TO
reason, but had lost all power. I felt
that it was death, and realized how ter
rible it was. At last the strain upon my
mind gave way and all was a blank.
How long this continued do not know,
but at last I realized the presence of
friends and recognized my mother. I
then thought it was earth, but was not
certain. 1 graduallyregained conscious
ness, however, and the pain lessened.
I found that my friends had, during my
Inconsistencies, been giving me q
preparation 1 had never taken before,
and the next day, under the influence
of this treatment, the bloating began
to disappear and from that time on [
steadily improved, until to-day am as
we'll as ever before in my life, have no
traces of the terrible acute Bright's dis
ease, which so nearly killed me, and all
through the wonderful instrumentality
of Warmers Safe Cure, the remedy
that brought me to life after I was viz
tually in another world"
"You have had an unusual expert
ence, Mr.. Crombie," said the writer,
who had been breathlessly listening to
the recital.
Z eyes, I think I have,s was the re-
ply, ssand it has been available lesson
to me. am certain, though, there are
thousands of men and women at this
very moment who have the same all
ment which came so near killing me,
and they do not know it. 1 believe
kidney disease is the most deceptive
trouble in the world. 1t comes like
thief in the night. 1t has no certain
symptoms, but seems to attack each
one differently. 1t is quiet, treacher-
GUS, and all the more dangerous. 1t is
killing more people, to-day, than any
other one complaint. If had the
power I would warnathe entire world
against it and urge them to remove it
from the system before it is too late"
One of the members of the firm. of
& Mitchell, proprietors of
the Birmingham Eccentric, paid fra
ternal visit to this Office yesterday, and
in the course of conversation Mr.. Crom-
bie's name was mentioned.
ssI knew about his Sickness" said the
editor, 'sand his remarkable recovery.
I had his obituary all in type and an
in the Eccentric that he could
