city and as capital. He has always aid

add to the attractions of Washington, and
many monuments to his breadth of view
and his generous craftsmanship are perma-

above reproach, and the compliment of
continuation in an important public posi-
ton was never better deserved by an Amer

From, the Industrto, Ne,c,, Jackson, Mich.

From the Industrial Nei0s, Jackson, Mich.
Myron L. Root, worthy workman, has
lived for nearly twenty-five years in the city
Of Jackson, Mich. at 234 Adrian Ave, where
he owns a happy home. His health had failed
him for some years back, and the loss of his
wife, two years ago filled his cup of misery to
Overhowlng. Grief and worry soon brought
on stroke Of paralysis, few weeks later
be had second stroke which totally disabled
him. He could neither move limb, nor his
head and had to be fed like baby. The best
medical aid was furnished him, and his friends
did all they could for him, but human hands
seemed powerless TO give him relief
Both physicians who were treating him told
him. after consultation, that there were no
means of helping him. He was then but a
mere skeleton, without power to move and
scarcely strength enough to express his wishes.
Death was truly much preferable to a lnger-
ing life Of such misery and helplessness.
The marvellous cure, by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, of a woman afflicted similar to himself
which appeared in the Industrial Ne,rs was
read to him, and although only a lingering
spark of hope existed, he consented to give the
medicine a trial, but insisted that another
physician be called, in order to lay the matter
before him. The physician was summoned
and after thorough examination Of the patient
and learning the history of the case, said that
he could promise no relief and advised him to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills, which he had
often known to succeed when everything else
had failed. The pills were procured, and he
took them according to directions with the
most wonderful result. At the end of two
weeks he could walk, and at the end of four
weeks although weak, he was perfectly cured
and is now able to do all kinds Of light work
