Mr. Donovan Thinks the Bemedy Used by Uiiu with Such ltemarkable Success the Best Cured by Five Boxes. Men who have to do difficult and dangerous work on electric lines at any hourof day or night, can't afford to have anything the matter with their health," said Mr. Donovan. You can imagine, therefore, how much I was alarmed one winter's day in 1902, when I was seized by a pain just behind my right hip that made it difficult for me to walk home.

It was so bad by the time I reached the house that I was obliged to go straight to bed." Did that relieve you No, the pain grew more severe and kept extending downward along my leg. I sent for a physician, and he soon decided that I had sciatica. In a few days the whole nerve was affected, and the least movement brought on terrible agony." "Did your condition improve under the doctor's treatment?" the contrary. At the end of two months I wasn't a bit better, and at times I feared that I would never be able to leave my bed." How did yon get out again When I was lying in bed, unable to move and wasting away in flesh, a friend visited me and told me about the wonderful cures brought about by a great blood and nerve remedy, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

He strongly urged me to try them, and I luckily had sense enough to take his advice." Did you mend quickly?" Yes, that was the astonishing thing. I noticed a slight improvement before I had quite fiuished the first box of the pills, I could get out of bed while I was on the third box, and ,1 was entirely cured by the time I had taken five boxes. Mr, Joseph A. 'Donovan is living at Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and Plaistow Electric Street Railway. Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills are the remedy to use when the blood is thin, as in anaemia; or impure, as in rheumatism; or when the nerves are weak, as in neuralgia; or lifeless, as in partial paralysis; or when the body as a whole is ill-nourished, as in general debility. They are sold by all druggists. LABOR spend day in use a GE THE VITCHF.N" work in half Warren Troy, N. Y. SAVESl TEMPER! three games have been in Mclndoes1 favor.

C. D. Root. The death of Emma Howard Root May 0 at Morrison hospital, Whitefield, N. removed one who filled a large sphere of usefulness in home and village life at East Concord.

She was the only daughter of the late Hon. A. S. and Minerva Howard, long time and esteemed residents of East Haven. Mr.

Root and his young wife settled in Concord just thirty-six years to a day before her death.

For seven years he was postmaster at East Concord, and at depot, postoffice and store Mrs. Root was ever his efficient and active assistant. Naturally endowed with kindly sympathies, an active opti mistic temperament, unusual vitality.

energy and executive ability, Mrs. Root took a lively interest and became a leading factor in the social, religious and business life of East Concord. Last winter impaired health compelled her to go to the hospital at Whitefield i i i i wuere uer maiauy ueveiopea into an in curable form of cancer. For months she fought the fell disease. Her de- voted husband exhausted everv resource of medical skill, nursing, bis own assiduous care.

Large lumber interests at East Concord compelled him to leave her for a lew hours each day and he travelled over two thousand miles on the railroad during her sickness in making his visits to her bedside. She bore her great suffering with fortitude and though anxious to get well she gave up calmly and cheerfully believing as the end drew near that death was but the door to a higher life where she should meet the dear ones gone before. During me last uiuum oi ner sickness she re ceived no nourishment other than water. Mrs. Root is survived by an only Drother, Dwight Howard, of Well.
