I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to DR..
Bakers Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Infammatory Rheu-
matism. I was severely afflicted
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. I Iprocured
some of the above medicine. and be-
fore using a bottle of it I could walk
without my crutchee, and by the
time had used bottle and q half,
I felt entirely well, and have not
suffered any since. I cheerfully re-
commend it, and believe it will do
all its projectors claim for it.

was most luxuriously and magniicently
fitted up for hfs use. When Er. Goelet
died the yacht was privately offered for
sale and the King of Belgium entered
into negotiations with the heirs for the
purchase OF the boat. The War Board
OF 1898 was at the same time looking
about for yachts Il might use in the

Spain, and, overbidding King Leopold,
purchased the yacht for s450,000

relinquished his nosition the Msyfower

Then the Secretary of the Navy tried
to sell the boat, but before any bids

and the idea was at once put into execu-
