A Tragic Event.

Death-Hfs sons Final Rescue, Too
Late to Save His Parent.
The graphic occurrence that described
below is one of tie most remarkable 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, were shocked one morning
by the announcement that Mr.. Clinton
Rindge, one of their most prominent eiti-
gems, had committed suicide. The news
spread rapidly and aroused the entire neigh
borhood where MIR. Rindge was SO well and
favorabIy known. At first it seemed impos-
sibIe that anyone so quiet and domestic could
do SO rash deed. and the inquiry was heard
ON every side as to the 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 be proud,
for they gave promise of long lives of sue
cess 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 entire afternoon If permitted to do SO.
His head panied him, not acutely, but with a
dull, heavy feeling. There was sinking
sensation at the pit of his stomach. He lost
all relish for food and much of his interest
for things about him. He tried manfully to
overcome these feelings, but they seemed
stronger than his will He began to lose
flesh rapidly. The father became alarmed
and consulted physicians as to the cause of
his sons illness, but they were unable to ex-
plain. Finally severe sores broke out on his
arms and he was taken to Buffalo, where
painful operation was performed, resulting

relief. The young man returned home and
council of physicians was called. After an
exhaustive examination they declared that
there was no hope of final recovery and that
he must die within very few days To de-
scribe the agony which this announcement
caused the father would be impossible. His
mind failed to grasp its full meaning at first
then finally seemed to comprehend it, but
the load vas too great. In an agony of fren-
zy he seized knife and took his own life,
preferring death rather than to survive his
idolized son At that time William Rindge
was too weak to know what was Transporting.
His face had turned black, his breath ceased
entirely at times, and his friends waited for
his death believing that the fend Brights
disease of the kidneys from which he was
suffering, could not be removed. In this Su-
prsme moment Williams sister came forward
and declared she would make final attempt
to save her brother. The doctors intsrposed,
assuring her it was useless and that she
would only hasten the end by the means she
proposed to employ. But she was hrRa and

fortunately had ON hand. Within an hour he
seemed more easy, and before the day was
over he showed signs of decided improve

to-day William B. Rindgs is we'll, having
been virtually raised from the dead through

Cortland.
Anyone vho refects upon the facts above
described must have feeling of sadness.
The father, dead by his own hand, supposing
his sons recovery to be impossible; the son
restored to health to mourn tbs loss of his
father and the agonized relatives with mem
DRY of sadness to forever dsrken 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
Rindge, and in as great danger of causing
misery if not death to their friends Liver
and kidney diseases have become the most
common and most dangerous of any or all
modern complaints. They are the most de-
ceptive in their beginnings and horrible in
tive than consumption, and can rarely be de-
tscted even by skillful physicians unless
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 threat
oned as well as to all his or her friends.
Thsse diseases have 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 pulsations of the heart and frequent
dizziness. If neglected, these symptoms are
certain to run into chronic kidney and liver
or Brights disease, from which there 1s sure
to be 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 escape
death and pain and prolong life with all its
pleasures and blessings.
