"Rough on Piles." — Why suffer Piles? Immediate relief and complete cure guaranteed. Ask for " Rough on Piles." Sure cure for itching, protruding, bleeding, or any form of Piles.

The Lateran Palace, with the Vatican and the Villa of Castle Gandolfo, have been left to the use of the Sovereign Pontiff by the Law of Guarantees. The present palace was built by Pope Sixtus V., who reigned from 1583 to 1590, and is as strong as a fortress. The ground floor is at present used as a Museum ol Pagan Antiquities, statues, bas-reliefs, mosaics and inscription^. The first floor contains the Christian Museum arranged in admirable order by the Commendatore Giovanni B^ttista de Rossi. Here are great numbers of inscriptions taken from the Catacombs and cUss.fied by De Kossi aa well as a very important collection of Christian which illustrate the art of sculpture as practised by the Curistuns ot Rome in the fourth and fifth centuries, and the symbolism which they had established.
