therefore, the Rsm6lf,r attention to the renovn os
Cologne must be limited to its odors, which formerly
were divided into two entirely distinct classes. Years
since when municipal sanitation archaic another rs

But by the III SMELLS but the sweet that the
world knows Cologne especially that combination OF
pure spirits with aromatic oils that is valuable and
precious to weary humanity.

Was it not Mrs Jameson that asked Mendelssohn Why
