RENAISSANCE OF WATER
TRANSPORTATION.
IFrom the Chicago Journal,

From the Chicago Journal
The establishment of a through line
of steamers between st. Louis and New
Orleans is only one of many tokens of
a revival of waterway transportation in
this country, and serves to call atten-
ton to the many ship canal projects
under consideration at the present
time.
Twenty years ago river and canal
navigation were pronounced dead. 1t
was said that the steamboat had seen
its day; that the canal boat had gone
to join the stage coach, and that the
railroad had superseded all other meth
DDS and means of transportation and
traffic.
Today the government of the United
States is engaged in the construction
of an interoceanic canal. The Erie ca
nal is to be deepened and widened by
the state of New York at an expense
of 100 million dollars. Canada is talk
ing about connecting the upper lakes
with the ocean by locking and canaling
the Ottawa river, while our own con-
gress is investigating the feasibility OF
constructing a deep water canal be-
tween the great lakes and the Missis-
sippi river.
1t would appear, therefore, that wa
ter transportation, in this country at
least, is still in its infancy.
1t is claimed by the advocates of in
ter-waterway enterprises-and they
present strong arguments-that canals
are we'll worth their cost in protecting
the public against extortionate railroad
freight rates.
At any rate the country is likely to
witness in the near future a remark
able renaissance of canal building and
canal traffic.

Friends of the Young Man believe that He

Friends of the Young Man believe that He
Had Narrow Escape from Denth-An
Interview with Mr.. Robinson.
Mr.. Ural Robinson was a student at a
business college in Canton until recently
when he was compelled to give up his
studies and return to his home at Osna-
burg, Ohio. This was the beginning Of
an illness that brought him near to
death. as will be seen by the following
interview:
Il broke down all Of a sudden" says
Dir. Robinson, " I had headaches all the
time and was nervous wreck. For
three months was under physician a
care and, although l spent considerable
money for medicines, nothing helped
me. At this time severe attack OF
rheumatism came on and made me help
less. Ny limbs and hands were swollen
and caused me intense pain. could not
move without suffering agonies and any
solid food distressed me. The medicine
nv doctor gave me would not stay on my
stomach consequently became greatly
reduced in flesh aud was so weak could
not leave my bed.
my mother had great faith In DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
suggested that l try them. was agree
ably surprised to find that my stomach
would retain these pills and soon saw
that was being benefited By the time
that | had taken the fifth box l was
thoroughly cured. Ny cure is permanent,
too, and l have never enjoyed better
health than have since being cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
These pills work wonders in compli-
Gated cases that puzzle the doctors, be-
cause they reach the source OF all sound
health Mr.. Robinson suffered from two
causes, nervous disorder and disease Of
the blood No other remedy would have
been 80 well adapted for his case as DR..
Williams Pink Pills because they act on
both the blood and the nerves. 1t is this
that constitutes tho secret Of DR.. Will
liams' discovery and that makes these
pills different from any other medicine.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
locomotor ataxia. partial paralysis, st.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia. rheu-
matism, nervous headache, stomach dis
orders, the after effects Of the grip, and
all forms of weakness either in male or
female. They are sold by all druggists.
