The bank, this fine morn- ing, was gay with butterflies and wild Sowers, and wreathed with a luxur!- ant growth of gild gourd, full of pale blossoms and small furry fruit; all was so wild, it seemed impossible we had only just left a busy city behind us. At the turn of the path we came into a delightful lane, between bram- ble -covered banks; on one side was the dry bed ofl alittle rill, and over- head branches of quaint trees met each other. From the Italian custom of constantly stripping the leaves to provide fodder, the foliage was scanty, yet we went down t:.e steep path in cool and checkered shadow; lizards, darting across the way before us, gleamed as they passed in and out of the light. This practice of stripping leaves 'from the trees as fodder gives a quaint appearance to many of them; in this lane the gnarled and twisted branches looked grotesque. A man high. up in one of the trees sang as gaily as a bird, while he filled with leaves a sack fastened to one of the branches. Now and again the rich transparent purple of the shadows was traversed. by a bar of golden light; this some- times came in irregular flecks from spaces between the twisted trunks and crossing branches. A woman coming up from the sta- tion, with a heavy basket on her head, said, "Buon Giorno," and smiled pleasantly as she passed; then a coun- tryman, a fine, handsome fellow with glowing black eyes, wished us a good journey. .de was going at such a pace that he must have bean bound for the station: usually the easy, leisureful movements of its peo)i- seem to me one of the charms of Italy. so entirely in harmony with the burning, palpitate ing.islue of its skis, end, the carell'ess` JIM .4lE By"E illustrated bNQUFROR EY r> Alien Dean CHAPTER I.

Secondary anaemia is a common human affliction. Its cause differs radically from that of pernicious anaemia, but it is usually accom- panied by great physical weakness or mental lassitude. e° The Rochester discovery does much toward settling a dispute whether liver feeding is useful in this more common but - less fatal form of anaemia, as it is in the pernicious variety. The extract was developed by Dr. G. H. Whipple, dean of the Medical School: F. S. Robscheit-Robbins, and G. B. Walden. This latest liver extract is a light- colored powder. It is prepared as fol- lows: Fresh hog liver finely ground into bench under the elm at the en water containing diluted sulphuric garden in the soft summer Crooked Bill could find no nxt'eiltiat nir c�,rcumstances to adduce as fi i.why.
