One Of the most remarkable occurrences
ever given to the public, which took place
here in our midst, has just come to our
knowledge and will undoubtedly awaken
as much surprise and attract as great at
tention as it has already in newspaper
circles. Tho facts are, briefly, as follows:
Mr.. William A. Crombie, young man
formerly residing at Birmingham, suburb
Of Detroit, and now living at 2s7 Michigan
Avenue in this city, can truthfully say that
he has looked into the future world and yet
returned to this. A representative of this
paper has interviewed him upon this inn
portant subject and his experiences are
given to tho public for the first time. He
said:

was an effort to arise in the morning and
yet l could not sleep at night. My mouth
tasted badly, had faint all-gone sensa-
ton in the pit of my stomach that food did
not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt

1t was about this time that l noticed l had
begun to bloat fearfully. My limbs were
swollen so that by pressing my fingers
upon them deep depressions would be
made. My face also Logan to enlarge, and
continued to until could scarcely see out
of my eyes. One of my friends, describ-
ing my appearance at that time, said: 1T

terrible it was. At last the strain upon
my mind gave way and all was blank.
How long this continued l do not know,

after l was virtually in another world"
"You have had an unusual experience,
Mr.. Crombie," said the writer who had
been breAthlessly listening to the recital.
"Yes, l think I have" was the reply,
"and it has been valuable lesson 10 me.

of men and women at this very moment
who have the same ailment which came so
near killing me, and they do not know il.

it from the system before it is too late"
One of the members of the firm of White
head & Mitchell, proprietors of the Bir-
mingham Eccentric, paid a fraternal visit
to this Office yesterday, and in the course
of conversation, Mr.. Crombie's name was
mentioned.

editor, " and his remarkable recovery. l
had his obituary all in type and announced
in the Eccentric that he could not live until
its next issue. It was certainly most
wonderful case"
Rev. A. r. Bartlett, formerly pastor Of
the NJ. E. Church, at Birmingham, and now
of Schoolcraft, Mich, in response to a tele-
gram, replied:
"Mr. w. A. Crombie was a member Of
my congregation at the time of his sick
ness. The prayers of the church were re-
9uested for him on two different occasions.
l was with him the day he was reported by
his physicians as dying, and consider his
recovery almost miracle"
Not one person in a million ever comes
so near death as did Mr.. CrOmbie and then
recover, but the men and women who are
drifting toward the same end are legion.
To note the slightest symptoms, to realize
their significance 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 vino
do this; they are on the sure road to death
who neglect it.
