Inflammatory Rheumatism :
OFFICE OF J. F. GREER, County eee}
Green Cove Springs, Clay Co.) Fla.
GENTLEMEN: Twenty-three years ago I
was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism.
I was attended by the most eminent physician
in the land. I visited the great Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., the noted Hot Springs of Ar-
kansas, and many other watering places,
always consulting with the local physicians for
directions, and finally came to Florida, ten
years ago. About two years ago I hada severe
attack of rheumatism, was confined to my
room for twelve weeks, and during that time

was induced to try P. P. P., Lippman's Great
Remedy, knowing that each ingredient was

niously to the waste basket. Many | radically wrong in the managemen: of
that have passed and become jaws are
worthless and should never have been
tiken into consideration. Our statute
books are often burdened with useless

ard confiicting legislation.

“ROMANCE OF A PICTURE.

Meissonier’s Favorite Painting Rescued
From a German.

William A. Coffin ina p-per en-
titled “Souvenirs of a Vct_ran Col-
lector’ in The Century describes
the unique art treasures of Mr. Sam-
uel P, Avery of New York. Mr.
Coffin relates the following story of
one of Meissonier’s most famous
paintings: eae

The picture shows Marshal Saxe,
with a body of troops, interrogat-
‘ing a peasant at a crossroads in the
forest and taking notes. In 1880
Mr. William H. Vanderbilt was sit-
ting to Meissonier for his portrait,
and Mr. Avery and Mr. Lucas were
invited by the artist to come to his
studio during the sittings, as Mr.
Vanderbilt did not speak French.
One day Mr. Vanderbilt asked,
*‘What picture does M. Meissonier
think isthe best he ever painted?"’
Meissonier, replying through Mr.
Lucas, spoke of two, the celebrated
“1814” and ‘‘Le Renseignement.’’
The latter picture, he said, with a!
sigh anil a deeply felt ‘‘helas,” was,
in Germany, in the hands of the!
enemies of France.

It had been painted for the expo-
sition of 1867 and was bought by|
M. Petit, who asked 50,000 francs
for it. Mr, Walters had offered 40, -
000 francs, but a German banker in
Paris, M. Mayer, paid the price and
got ithe picture. He was a well
known collector, and his family
home was in Dresden. When the
war of 1870 broke out, M. Mayer
left. Paris and took the picture with
him. Mr. Avery had sean his gal-
lery every time he went to Dresden,
and knew the picture.

‘The conversation in the studio

 

was indeed a wondcrful canvas.
Petit had tried to buy it back, but
could not get it. It was thought it
wauld be impossible to get Mayer to
sell it, but Avery, authorized by
Mr. Vanderbilt, resolved to try. He
did not wish to make a trip to Dres-

aan

 

 

den at the timé, so he wrote to
Mayer thata friend of his wanied
the picture, but not as a matter of
‘business. It was not to buy to sell
again, The banker replied that he
had often been importuned to sell
the picture, but had invariably re-
fused. - Yet, now that he felt him-
self growing old—he had then reach-
ed the age of 80—and that. as after
his death his family might not care
to keep it, he would take a certain
price for it. Ho added that he might
change his mind overnight, for he
found it hard to decide to sell.
Avery lost no time in telegraphing,
and the next day received the can-
vas by parcels post. The marvelous
picture was actually in his room in
the hotel! A draft on London was
sent to Dresden at once, and the
deed was done.

Mr. Vanderbilt and his two fellow
conspirators now set about arrang-
ing a surprise for, Meissonier. The
next day was to be the last sitting
for the portrait, and when they ar-
rived at the studio one of them car.
ried a parcel, which was placed in a
safe corner. The sitting proceeded,
and at last Meissonier said the por-
trait was finished. There was not
anothcr touch to be added. ‘Now
you may see me sign,’’ he announc-
ed, and the act was accomplished
with a duo observance on the part
of the company of the importance
of the moment.

The artist then went into another
room to put the little portrait in a
frame he had ready for it’ ‘Le
Renseignement’’ was quickly taken
from tho corner, set in a frame on
ihe eascl, and the three men stood
by to see what Mcissonier weuld do.
“When he came in and suddenly
saw the picture,’ says Mr. Avery,
“ho almvust wont crazy in his joy.
410 got (lown on his knees beyore it,
so that he could look at it closely,
and cried out, ‘Oh, mon bon tableau;
oh, mon bon tavieau!l’ ana with dif-
ficulty found words io express his
delight. He loved-his picture that
he never expected to see again, and
his heart was full.
