Death. His Sons Final Eescue, Too Late
to ave His Parent.
The graphic occurrence that is des-
cribed below is one of themost remark
able episodes in the domestic history of
America. It is absolute truth which
can readily be verified.
The Inhabitants of the pleasant town
of Cortland, N. Y. We're shocked one
morning by the announcement that Mr..
Clinton Rindge, one oftheir most prom
inent citizens, had committed suicide.
The news spread rapidly and aroused
the etnirc neighborhood where Mr..
Rindge wasso we'll and favorably known.
At first it seemed impossible that any
II SO quiet and domestic could do so
rash a deed, and the inquiry was heard
on every side as tothe cause. The facts
as developed on investigation proved to
be as follows:
Mr.. Rindge was domestic in his tastes
and took the greatest enjoyment in the
society of his children and pride in their
development. And indeed he had good
reason to he proud for they gave promise
OF long lives of success and usefulness.
But an evil day came. Hisyoungestson,
William, began to show signs of an early
decay. Hefelt unusually tired each day.
and would sometimes sleep the whole at
ternoon if permitted to do SO. His head
painedhim, not acutely. but with a dull.
heavy feeling. There was a sinking SEN
sation at the pit of his stomach. He lost
all relish for food and much of his inter-
est for things about him. He tried man.
fully to overcome these feelings, but
they seemed stronger tEan his will. He
began to lose flesh rapidly. Thetather be-
came 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 a painful operation was performed
resulting in the loss of much blood but
affording little relief. The young man
returned home and a council of phvsi-
clans 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. 10 describe
the agony which this announcement
caused the father would be impossible.
His mindfailed to grasp it's ullmeaning
at first; then finally seemed to compre
bend it, but the load was too great. In
an agony of frenzy he sized q knife and
took his w life, prefcrring death rath-
er than to survive his idolizcd son. At
that time William Rindge was too weak
to know what was transporting. His face
had turned black, his breath ceased en-
tirely ut times, and his friends
waited for his death believing that
the tiend Bright's disease of the kidneys,
from which he was suffering. could not
be removed. In this supreme moment
Williams sister came forward and de
clared she would make Il final attempt
to save her brother. The doctors in
terposed, assuring 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,
approached her brothers. side and AL
ministered a remedy which she FORUM
ately had on hand. Within IN hour he
seemed more easy, and befor re the day
was over he showed signs of decided
Improvement. These favorable signs
continued, and to-day William b.
Rindge is we'll, having been virtually
raised from the dead through the mar
velous power of Warmers Safe Cure, as
can be readily verified by any citizen of
Cortland.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described mus have q feeling OF
sadness. The father, dead by his owl
hand, snpposing his sons recovery to be
impossible; the son restored to health to
mourn the loss of his father and the ag-
onized relatives with IL memory OF sad
Clinton Ridge 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 rs great actual
peril as William Rindge and i'll as great
danger of causing misery if not death to
their friends. Liver and Kidney di-
seases are become themost common and
most dangerous Of any or all modern
complaints. They are the most deep,
