The graphic cccmren that is described
below is enc of the most remarkable episodes
in the domestic history OF America. 1t is
abso ute truth which can readily be verified
The inhabitlnts 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 so we and favorably
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 de
veloped 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 be proud
for they gave promise of long lives OF success
and usefulness But an evil day came. His
youngest son, William, began TO show signs
of an early decay He felt unusually tired
each day, and. would sometimes sleep the en-
tire afternoon il permitted 10 do so. Hishead
panied him, not acutoly, but with dull,
heavy feeling. There was n sinking sensation
atthe pit Of his stomach. He lost all relish
for food and much of his interest for things
about him. He tried mantully TO over
come these fee ings, but they seemed
stronger than his will He began to
lose flesh rapidly The father became
alarmed and consulted physic ians as to the
caus of his $ ms line S, but they were una
bic to eXpla n. Firally severe sores broke
out on his arms AMI he YVES taken TO Buffalo,
where pa nful operation was performed re-
sultlng in the loss of much blood but Afford
ing little relief. The young man returned
home ana a cornell of physiC ians was called.
After an exhaustive examination they de-
clared there was no hope of final recovery and
that re mYst die w.tnn very few days. To
describe the agony which this announcement
caused the father would be impossible. His
micd failed t. grasp its full M aning at first;
Il en finally Sc mel to tonprel end it, but ths
load was to- great. In an agony of frenzy
he eized n lSni and took his own lie, pre-
terring death rather tan to survive
his idoliled son. At that time
what was transpiring. His face had
turned black, his breath ceased entirely at
times, and his fri ands waited for his death,
believing that the fend Bright's dis ease of
the kidneys, from which he was sufferer,
could not be removed. In this supreme mo-
ment W illiam's sister came forward and de-
clared she " o nd make final attempt to save
her brother. The doctors interI osed, assur-
ing her 1t was useless and that she would only
hasten the end by ths means she proposed
to emp oy. But she was firm, and putting
all bac <, approached her brothers side and
had on hand. " ithin an hour he seemed
more ensv, and before the day was over he
showed signs of decided improve ement. These
favorable signs continued, and to-day VIII
liam b. Rindge is well, having been virtually
raised from the dead through the marvellous
power of Warmers Safe Cure, as can be rea-
Oily verified by any citizen of Cortland.
ANY one who reflects upon the facts above
described must have feeling of sa lness

restored to health to mourn the loss of his
father and the agonized relatives with men,
ory 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
hindge and in as great danger of causing
misery If not death to their friends. Liver
and kidney diseases are become the most
common and mcs. dangerous of any or ali
modern. com laints They are the most de-
ceptiye&in their beginnings and horrible in
their final stages. They are far more decep-
tive than consumption, and can rarely be de
tected even by skillful physicians unless a
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 threatened as well as TO
all his or her friends. These diseases have no
distinct symptoms, but come in the form of
lassitude, loss of appetite, aching muscles and
joints, dull headaches, pains in the back,
stomach and chest, sour stomach, recurring
signs OF cold, irregular Iu sations of the
heart, and frequent dizziness. If neglected,
these symptoms are certain to run into chron-
ic kidney and liver or Bright dis ase, from
which there is sure TO be a great amount Of
agony and only one means of escape, which
is by the use of Warmers Safe Cure. The
Importance 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
esC ape death and pain and prolong life with
all its DleaslreS and blessings
