WHAT ROME THINKS
THE POPE'S PHYSICIAN ENDORSES
AN AMERICAN REMEDY.
DIR. Lapponi Uses DR.. Williams Pink Pills
In His Practice Because Results
Meet His Expectations.

Meet His Expectations.
DR.. Lapponi, the famous physician to
the Vatican, whose name has recently
come so greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus K, is man Of
commanding genius. He is more than
mere man of science; he is man OF
original and Independent mind. I'm
trammeled by the etiquette" of the
medical profession and having used DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.
DIR. Lapponi's Letter.
ct certify that I have used DIR.
Williams Pink Pills i'll four cases
of the simple an8mia of develop
ment After a few weeks of treat
ment, the result came fully up tony
expectations. For that reason
shall not fail i'll the future to extend
the use Of this laudable preparation
not only in the treatment Of other
forms of the category of an8mia.or
chlorosis, but also in cases of neuras-
thenia and the like"
(Signed) GIUSEPPE LAPPoNI,
Via del Gracchi 1872, Rome.
The "simple anemia of development,'
referred to by DR.. Lapponi, is of course,
that tired, languid condition of young
girls, whose development to womanhood
is tardy and whose health, at that period,
is so often imperiled. His opinion Of
the value Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at that time is of the
highest scientific authority, and it con-
firms the many published cases in which
anamia and other diseases Of the blood,
as we'll as nervous diseases such as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus'
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
have been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be &C
copied by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.

OUR PUBLIC HALLS
Will Be Fitted with Better Protection
for Life and Against Fire.

1t is understood that arrangements
are ABOUT to be made for the better
protection of the public who attend
public entertainments. fairs, etc, at
the amusement halls in this city.
Attention to the perhaps Inadequate
arrangements of the Coliseum and the
Opera house has been called by the
recent theatre horror in Chicago. and
steps will Immediately progress to-
ward remedying any defect which may
exist in any exit or want of an exit
from either of the halls mentioned.
The Coliseum will be considerably
improved by the installation of an
exit on east side at the farther end
OF the hall as two doors will be cut at
the foot Of the stairs leading to the
galleries and a walk some 10 feet wide
viii be built around the building so
that the street may be reached from
the rear end of the building from the
outside. Exits will also be made from
the sides of the hall at the foot of the
building. These will also be connected
with the main street with Il walk.
The only change in the arrangement
of the Opera house will probably that
ot the doors at the main entrance to
the hall and these will be hung so that
they will open either out or in. The
doors at present open in and this
would doubtless be confusing in the
event of a panic from any source.
