Prominent among the ex.business men of

his native State-New York-for Michigan,
way back in '46. He settled at Morenci,
Lenawee county, in the southern part of the
State Here Mr.. Acker dwelt in health and
happiness until short time prior to 1893
when his usual perfect health began slowly
failing. For time he neglected to take any
precautions or medical treatment, attribut.
ing his state of health to need of rest, and
until his symptoms had assumed those that
indicate general breaking down of health,
did he become alarmed. He was troubled
with his kidneys and liver, his skin became
sallow, and he was also troubled with dis
tressing palpitations of the heart. His favor

continue owing to shortness of the breath,
weakness of the limbs and the ever-present
palpitations.
At the commencement of his sickness, Mr..
Acker was sixty-three years old and had an
average weight of 2l4 pounds. But his de-
cline had been so rapid that his weight de-
creased to only 1913 pounds. His condition
had become truly alarming He consulted
the best physicians in the community, each
of whom, after careful diagnoses invariably
pronounced him incurable and he was at last
told that he had bit three months TO lire.
His friends became distracted, but despite
the strenuous efforts of medical skill he
steadily continued to grow worse. lie be-
