Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, by its action on the blood, relieves this comiition, and restores the joints to good working order. Ayer’s Sarsaparilia has effected, in our city, many most remarkable cures, 2 pbum- ber of which baffled the efforts of the most experienced physicians. Were it necessary, I could give the names of many individuals who have been cured by taking this medicine. In my own case it has cer- tainly worked wonders, relieving me of Rheumatism, after being troubled with it for years. In this, and all other diseases arising from impure blood, there is no remedy with which I am acquainted, that affords such relief as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.—R. H. Lawrence, M. D., Baltimore, Md.

The adage that “a navy cannot be built in a day” is clearly illustrated by the history of the construction of these vessels. Although four years have elapsed since work upon them was begun, only two are at the pres- ent writing ready for service at sea. Nor is it strange that this should be true.
