the deceased followed his body to its

A Life of the Roofs,

There still exists in Italian cities q
life Of the roofs that is distinct and
characteristic, ana of which the mere
foreigner and tourist is entirely una
ware. Particularly is this the case in
Florence. Mount to the top floor of
one of these grim, big palaces stand
ing in some gloomy, sunless street, Of
ten approached by n stern, forbidding
doorway and dark, steep stairs, and
you will hold your breath with wonder
at the surprise that awaits you. For
here before your eyes stretches an I'M
familiar city, Il red-and-green city of
wide eXpanse and varying attitudes,
city no less INTELLECTUALLY beautiful
than the one you have left below, and
enlivened, TOO, most unexpectedly by
Vcrdure.
In the very heart of the city, on its
top-mOst apex, there is no trace OF
CRIME: the air is pure and wholesome.
Indeed, its breaZcs are changed with no
small suggestion of sea and mountain
breath. AS for the smoke one would
expect to md hanging above the roofs
of u dcnscly populated city, il is con-
SpicunuS 10y its absence, and only at
the hour Of meals does some faint blue
column rise for the hricfeSt space into
tie atmosphere.

CURE RHEUMATISM NOW.
This Is the Best Time to Get Rid of
the Disease.

OF all seasons in the year none is
better than the present for the treat
ment and cure of rheumatism. While
Neuralgia Anodyne is an unfailing cure
for rheumatism at any season of the
year, it will do good twice as quickly
this month.
The Anodyne has a peculiar action,
soaking through the pores of the skin
to the aching tissues and throbbing
nerves so that it does far more good
than any ordinary local application.
At the same time, a small dose is taken
internally which soothes and uuiets
the whole nervous system, and helps
axpel the Uric Acid from the blood.
Neuralgia Anodyne is so successful
IN curing rheumatism, neuralgia, head
ache. toothache. and all nervous and
muscular pains. that dealers every
where are authorized to refund the
claimed for it.
