MANY SUFFERERS
Liver Complaint a By-Word
With Sufferers Here

The liver is much more frequently the
scat Of disease than IS generally supposed.
The function Il Is designed TO perform.
and on the regular execution Of which de-
pends not only the general health OF The
body. but the bowels of the stomach
Bowels, Brain and the whole nervous sys-
tenn shows its vast and vital Importance
to human health when the Liver is SER
iousiy diseased. it IN fact not only de-
ranges the vital functions Of TIE body. hut
exercises powerful influence over the
mind and its operations. which cannot be
easily described Il has so close a con-
ncction with other diseases and manifests
itself hy so great a variety OF systems OF
most doubtful character that IL mis-
leads more physicians, even OF great emin-
cnce. than any other vital organ. The in
timate connection which exists between
the Liver and the Brain and the great
dominion which It exercises over the
passions Of mankind convince one that
many unfortunate beings have committed
acts Of criminal atroolty. or become what
fools term hypochrondriacs. simply from a
diseased state OF the Liver. More than
three-fourths Of the diseases enumerated
under the head Of Consumption have them
seat IN a diseased Liver.
After many years Of experience a
specialist highly reoommended the fol-
lowing prescription, which he has success

HARD WORK NOW OVER.
CREWS RIGHT ON EDGE.
Yale and HmUmd Ready for Races
This Week.

Gales Ferry, Conn. June 22-The Yale oars
men wound up their last week of practice before
the big race by doing light work this afternoon,
the weather being too hot for much activity.
Previous TO going out ON the river the men had
their pictures taken for college publications.
About o'clock the varsity and freshman eights
went down stream for about two miles ana
half, merely padding in easy stretches. The
crews were closely followed by Coach Kennedy
in the launch On the return the two crews en-
jOyed q short brush, the varsity eight easily
leading the first year men, when they We're
halted on orders from the coach.
Coach Kennedy then turned his attention to
the four oar crews, but before giving his in
structions to the men. the launch and the two
crews gave the freedom of the river to the Har-
ward varsity eight, which was on twO-miie
trial row The Yale coach and substitute oars
men had a fine chance to size up the men from
Cambridge. 1t is understood that the Harvard
men We're rowing at the top of their form when
the trial boats passed.
The work of the crews is practically over, as
ii is planned to take things easily during the
first three days of next week.
n large number of Yale graduates reached
New London and the Yale quarters to-day, and
a gentemen's eight to meet the Harvard eight
on the day before the race will be formed
within the next two days.
Several of the Yale oarsmen tomorrow will
visit President Roosevelts yacht Sylph, which
is anchored off the Harvard quarters.
Captain Bacon Of the Harvard crew had
guests the launch John Harvard for the
morning practice Alexander Cameron, stroke Of
the Yale '02 crew; Julian w. Curtiss. General
Skiddy and MIR. Sheffield, from the Yale quar-
ters, and Larz Anderson and Frederick Bradley,
the latter an old Harvard oarsman. The launch
went out with the varsity eight and came back
with the freshmen. Both crews did finely, IN
spite Of the rough water. which compelled them
10 work inshore Coach Wray being in a single.
The boat did not check between strokes. The
freshmen were bit better than the varsity.
The Yale men spoke in terms of praise for the
strength which appeared TO be in both crews.
and the freshmen pronounced to be SEEM
lngly on par with the Yale freshmen.
New-York tribune., 1907-06-23

the first day on II was noticeable that the six
cars that were compelled TO be withdrawn met
with mishaps of a slight nature. The 36-horse-
power Glide car driven by ]. c. McCafferty, did
not reach this city until late Friday night on

Forty-one Of the forty-seven cars that started
IN tho four DAYS sealed bonnet contest OF the
Automobile Club of America finished the en-
durance test last night without their bonnets
having broken the seals. and for the perform
ance each OF the successful owners Of the ma
chimes will get a silver cup.
It is probable that on the day OF the awarding
of the prizes the club will look like big Jewe!ry

Long Island. and return. the same as on the
first day OF the contest distance OF 100 miles.
1t completed a total run OF six hundred miles
for the touring cars and for the runabouts
seven hundred miles these machines had TO
go an extra twenty-five miles each day.
As on the first three days OF the contest the
weather yesterday was perfect, and the roads
were in excellent condition. In fact the roads
were so smooth that there was hardly even a jar
and this. combined with the hot sun. made IT al
most impossible for many OF the passengers to
keep awake after being out severel hours. Even
the drivers grew sleepy and probably would have
taken q short nap had II not been for the fact
that It was the last day. and not the time 20
take any chances.
OF the forty-three that remained in the
contest. when they started from the clubhouse
at o'clock yesterday morning. only two came
to grief and they the six cylinder runabout
driven by s. h. Stevens. which met with a slight
mishap. and the 50-horsepOwer Welch car, with
fabrication trouble OF small nature.
The machines that finished the run without
having had their bonnet touched returned TO the
clubs garage in West 9th street, and the own
ers were allowed TO take them away after their
last inspection by the committee last night TO
make sure that the seals had been touched In no
