HOW often do we hear the remark, "I don't feel wcl and how many persons pass the whole of their lives in that unpleasant condition ? WHAT IS THE REASON ? Simply this: The stomach is allowed to get out of order, and the whole system is consequently deranged. Medical advice is frequently postponed till a serious illness supervenes, and if the health is restored, it is often after much suffering, and always with the unpleasant addition of A DOCTOR'S BILL. How is this to be Prevented' The experience of nearly half a century has proved that in KAYE'S WORSDELL'S PILLS may be obtained a safe and efficient remedy for ALL DISEASES, that taken in time, they will prevest, and by their use, in variably cure, all complaints. They are cheap, accessible to all and from their vegetable composition, they PURIFY THE BLOOD by an easy and expeditious process. To heads of familis hey are invaluable, as, where they are used, NO OTHER MEDICINE IS REQUIRED. Prepared solely by JOHN KAYF:, Esq., of Prospect Hall, Woodford, Essex.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. Several matters of local interest are unavoidably deferred until next week.

THE LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF REGISTRATION LAW. ALL matters connected with the law which affects the registration of voters, and governs the decisions of Revising Barristers, must have special interest at the present time. In too many cases, not only in the electoral district of Merthyr, but tbroughout the country, we have occasional illustrations of a narrow interpretation of the meaning of the Act, and sometimes the evident intention of the legislature is lost sight of, or wilfully ignored, in order to maintain the letter rather than the spirit of the law. Now, we believe,. that the Acts by which the franchise is con- ferred, are to be regarded as ''enabling"' Acts, and as proofs of the intention of Par- liament that all persons qualified should have the franchise. In this view we are supported by the recent decision of Mr. Serjeant Pulling, who, in revising the list of voters for the county of Carmarthen the other day, gave to the law this liberal and satisfactory interpretation. It seems that the name of a Mr. Davies, of Penderw, who signed a number of Liberal objections, ap- pears upon the register-which, like the majority, abounds in typographical errors- as Dovies. The Revising Barrister ruled that this mistake nullified the objections, and the case will be taken to the Court of Common Pleas. At first sight it would al- most seem that this decision is opposed to a free and generous interpretation of the law, and that it is very hard Mr. Davies should lose his status in consequence of an error for which he can in nowise be held respon- sible. But the purpose of the Barrister is sufficiently obvious. He evidently believes what we all known to be true, that the cus- tom of scattering objections broadcast, and putting voters to unnecessary expense and trouble, is beyond the scope and intention of the Acts. Therefore it is that, having an opportunity of challenging the position of Mr. Davies, albeit upon slight, and, as some may think, insufficient grounds, he boldly elects to do so in the hope of demonstrating the abstract right of every man, duly quali- fied, and notwithstanding mere technical errors, to have his name placed upon the v electoral roll. The principle involved is one which we may expect to see more generally adopted. The iustincts of the age are in favour of an extension of the franchise, and anything which directly or indirectly limits
