The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-04-30

The graphic occurrence that is described
below is one of the most remarkable cpl
sodes in the domestic history of America.
1t 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 promi-
nent citizens, had committed suicide.
The news spread rapidly and aroused the
entire neighborhood where Mr.. Rindge
was so we'll and favorably known. At
first it seemed impossible that any one 80
quiet and domestic could do 30 rash a
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 entire
afternoon if permitted to do 80. His
head panied him, not acutely, but with
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 explain. Finally &c.
we're 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 council of physicians was called.
After an exhaustive examination, they
declared there was no hope of final recov-
cry, and that he must die within very
few days. To describe 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 was
too great. In an agony of frenzy he
seized knife and took his own life, pre-
ferring 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 fiend Bright's disease of the kid
neys, from which he was suffering, could
not be removed. In this supreme moment
Williams sister came forward and de.
clared she would make final attempt to
save her brother. The doctors interposed,
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 administered a
remedy which she fortunately had on
hand. Within an hour he seemed more
easy, and before 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 marvellous power of Warmers
Safe Cure, as can be readily verified by
any citizen of Cortland.
Any one who reflects 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, tt
mourn the loss of his. father, and the
agonized relatives with memory of sad
ness to forever darken their lives. Had
Clinton Rindge known that his son coulC
recover he would to-day be alive and
happy, but the facts which turned hi
brain and caused him to commit suicide
were such as any one would accept as true
However sad this case may be, tn,
truth remains that thousands of people
are at this moment in as great aetna
peril as William Rindge, and in as great
danger of causing misery, if not death, t.
their friends. Liver and kidney disease.

dangerous of any or all modern com
