Death. His Sons Final Rescue, Too Late
to save Ets Parent. n :I55
The graphic occurre that is des-
fictsribed below is one Of the most remark
able episodes inthe domestic history Of
America. It Is absolute truth which
can readily be verified ,$s
The inhab itants Of the pleasant town
of Cortland, N Y 81 were Shocked I one
morning by the annoa4I cement that Mr..
Clinton Rindge one " their most prom
inent citizens, had committed suicide.
The news spread rapidly and aroused
the etnire neighb orhood where Mr..
5Rind ge was SO well and fayorably known:
AT first it seemed impossible that ANY
one SO quiet and domestic could do SO
rash o deed, and the inquiry was heard
on every side as to the cause. The facts
as developed on investigation proved to
be as follows .$sy Y
Mr.. Rindge was domestic in his tastes
and took the greatest enjo yment 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 lengsliyes of success: and usefulness.
But an owl day came His youngest son,
William, began to show signs of an early
decay. He felt unusually tired each day.
and would sometime sleep the hole az;
ternoon il permitted to do So His head
panied him, not acutely, but with a dull,
heavy feeling. here was sinking sen:
sation at the pit, Of his tomach. He lost
oil 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 tkan his Will. He
began to lose flesh rapid y; The father 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 painful operation was performed
resulting in the loss Of much blood but
afording little relief. The young man
returned home and d council Of physi-
clans was called After an exhaustive
examination they declared there was no
hope Of final recovery and that he must
die within a yery few, days. To describe
the agony which this announc ement
caused the father would be impossible.
His mind failed to grasp It's full meaniing
at first; then finally seemed to compre-
bend it, but the load was too great. In
an agony of frenzy he saized o knife and
took his own life, preferring death rath-
er- than to survive his ido lized son. AT
that time William Rindge was too weak
to know what was transporting. His face
had turned black, his breath ceased en-
tirely at times, and his friends
waited for his death believing that
the fend 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 a 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 oil back,
approached her brothers side and ad-
ministered o remedy which she FORUM
ately had on hand. Within an hour he
seemed more easy, and befo re the day
was over he showed signs Of decided
Improvement 4 These. favorable signs
continued, and to-day Wi liam B.
Rindge is well, having been virtually
raised from the dead through the mar
velous power Of Warmers Safe Cure, as
can be readily yeri6edsby amy citizen Of
Cortland. t5:l 81 rs
9$ Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have q 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 ag-
{onized relatives with g memory of sad
ness to forever darken their lives. Had
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. = :s5SSi .-i
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 di-
senses are become the most common and
most dangerous Of any or all modern
complaints. They are the most decep-
tive in their beginnings and horrible in
their final stages. They are far more
deceptive than consumption and can
rarely be detected even by skillful ply
slcians unless microscopic analysis be
!resorted to, and few doctors understand
how to do this. Their slightest APP
proach, or possibiI approach should
strike terror to the one who is threat
ened as well as to all his Of. her friends
These diseases have no distinct symp-
toms, but come IN the form of 1assitude,
loss of appetite, aching muscles and
joints, dull headaches, pains in the back,
stomach and chest, sour stomach, re-
curing signs of cold, irregular puisations
of the heart, and frequent dizziness.
II neglected, these symptoms are GER
tain 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 by
I 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 ia escape death
and pain and prolong life with all its
pleasures and blessings. sj; !3.. .%.s,
