HOSPITAL BALL AT MOUNTAIN ASH. There was a large and brilliant gathering at the second annual hospital ball, which was held on Wed- nesday evening, at the Drill Hall, Mountain Ash. Every preparation had been made for the pleasure and convenience of the visitors by the committee, and soon after 9 p.m. the ball was opened by the Right Hen. Lady Aberdare and Dr. E. J'. Evam, J.P.,with that good old popular dance, Sir Roger de Coverley. Her ladynhip was accompanied by the HOD. the Misses C. L. Bruce, P. G. Bruce, E. F. Bruce, and Miss Harconrt. Special preparation had been made by the committee to get the condition of the floor in good dancing order, and in this respect nothing was wanting for a good display of the light fantastic toe. Some charming dresses were worn, and these, together with the extensive decorations of flags and hunting- festooned in a pleasing manner across the roof of the hall, completed a most brilliant scene. The decora- tions were carried out by Mr. Mattocks, butler at Duffryn House, assisted by Messrs. E. Commons, T. Thomas, J. Callaway, O. H. Coliyer, E. Jenkins, W. Dally, and W. B. George, the Grove. Music via* supplied by Hullev's celebrated county band, Swan- sea, who played throughout the proceeding iu an excellent manner. The committee were :-Dr. E. P. Evans, J.P. (chairman), Captain Morgan, J.P., Mr. J. Callaway, who acted in the capacity of M.C., Mr. Jahez Long-, Mr. M. Mattocks, Dr. Kent Jones, Mr. G. A. Evana, Mr. T. D. Evans, Mr. O. H. Coliyer, Mr. H. W. Long, Mr. T. Thomas, Mr. S. R. Netherway, Mr. Evan Jenkins, Mr. Nimrod Bartlett, Mr. E. Commons, Mr. F. J. Mills, and Mr. W. B. George. The exacting duties of hon. secretary were performed by Mr. William Dally. The stores, whose special aptitude in this direction has been amply proved upon many previous occasions, Mr. Dally also undertook the duties of caterer, his tables being arranged at the eastern end of the building and filled with a splendid variety of eatables calculated to tempt and please the most fastidious. Wines and spirits etc. were supplied to everyone's satisfaction by Mr. W. P. Eynoa, New Inn Hotel, at the other end of the hall who regard- less of the trouble and expense bad erected a substan- tial bar adjoining the ball-room. Dancing was kept up with spirit till 4 a.m. There can be no doubt but that the ball was one of the most brilliant and successful ever held in the valley, and we are pleased to be able to state that from a financial point of view it was a complete success. The following is a list of the visitors:- Lady Aberdare, Mr. Astle, Merthyr. Hon. Misses C. L. Bruce, 1'. U. Bruce, E. T. Bruce, Miss Bride, Mr. N. Bartiett, Miss Barnett, Mr. and Mrs. A. C.

RUPTURE TRUSSES.—Referring to the inquiry made by a correspondent recently in our columns, the following extract from the La nrct, August 4, 1894, will be interesting:—" The Link Shell Truss Co., 171, Wardour-street, London, W., have a new truss. It is claimed that by this method of manufacture a truss is provided which will be more comfortable than the one in ordinary use, and better able to adapt tself to the various movements of the body, especially if those are of a sudden character. The truss is fitted with a hip-joint regulator, by means of which the pressure is increased or diminished as required, and with a soft shell pad perforated for ventilation. The truss as thus completed is an efficient one. Full par- ticulars are sent free by the Link Shell Trtvss Co.— Glavyov Evening Ncv:<<, August 7, 1894.' 173-224

DEAR SIR,—I beg to testify to the value of GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS, as I think that you cannot recommend them too well. About a fortnight since I left my work—I com- menced my illness by feeling starved, and a nasty stinging and shooting pain in my head a doctor was called in, and he said it was Influenza, and I suffered for over a week of the pains in INFLUENZA my head, and the doctor's medicine did me no good, till at last the mistress of AND this house (I am in lodgings here) fell ill with the same symptoms of illness GENERAL till her husband advised us to try a bottle of your Bitters.

ABERDARE MINERS. On Thursday last the day and night men employed at the collieries in the Aberdare Valley held meetings at the Bute Arms to discuss the question of reorgani- sation. There was a strong feeling in favour of such a course, and it was eventually agreed to hold other meeting" shortly to be addressed by Mr. Isaac Evans, of Neath.

THE ABERDARE RACING DISPUTE. An important appeal case from Aberdare came on for hearing at the Queen's Beneh Division of the High Court of Justice on Thursday, 'l)eforo Mr. Justice Wright and Mr. Justice Wills. The particu- lars of the case were to the effect that the plaintiff O'Sullivan and a man by the name of Hughes, agreed to run a race for £5 a-eide, and each of the parties de*,waited the money with the defendant, James Thomas, who was the stakeholder, that was to pay over the £10 to the winner of the race. The race was run and the plaintiff lost. Being dissatisfied with the result he asked for the return of hit money, but Mr. Thomas refused, and ttill retained the money. The question to be settled, therefore was whether or not a person who deposited a sum of money to abide the result of a wager, was entitled to sue to get his money back. The case had been previously heard at the Aberdare County Court, and this was an appeal by the defendant against the judgment of His Honour Judge Gwilym Williams, who bad given judgment in favour of the plaintiff for the sum claimed. Mr Montague Lush appeared for the defendant, the appellant, and Mr. W. Evana represented the plain- tiff, the respondent.—Mr. Justice Wills said that as the question was one of some difficulty the Court would take time to consider its judgment.

THE TRUANT SCHOOL. ¡ The fullowing- report from Dr. W. W. Jonc", of ¡ Merthyr, the medical officer of the school, was read to the committee at their ordinary meeting on Thurs- day, and the secretary instructed to send copies of same to each of the Association Boards, viz. •.—Gentle- men,-I have the honour to submit to you my first- annual report. Sites and Buildiugs.—The sites and buildings have proved themselves admirably adapted for the pur- poses for which they are intended. The system of warming and ventilation has been at all times quite satisfactory. Atthecommenccmentoftheyearsome of tho walls were found to be very damp, but that has noW been remedied, and you now have a building thoroughly dry and satisfactory in all respects. Drainage.—Some difficulty has arisen during tho year in regard to the disposal of refuse water and other sewage matter, and a number of cases of diarrhoea, during the hot weather of July, caused rue a little anxiety, but I am glad to learn that there is now a prospect of an early settlement of the question by connecting the school with the main s^wer. When that is done a proper disconnecting chamber should be made, and the drainage system will then be entirely satisfactory. Iomatei!198 boys have been admitted during the year, the average age at time ot admission being nearly 11 years. All the boys are brought under my notice after admission, and are again examined on being licensed out; the great majority of them pre- sent a most neglected appearance, some of them in- deed looking half-starved, but during their residence all of them show a marked improvement, not only physically, but also in intelligence. I have vaccinated any boys who on admission have been found to have been previously unvac-cinated. Clothing.—The Clothing is warm and uncomfor- table, and the recent substitution of flannel for cotton shirts must have been appreciated during the cold weather which has recently prevailed. Food.—I have from time to time examined the food supplied, and have found it sufficient in quantity, and uniformly good in quality. -The dormitories, kc., have at all times been found in a clean and tidv condition. Health.—There has been no sickness of a serious character with the exception of a case of pneumonia in November, and there has been no death. The other cases of sickness have included rheumatism, diarrheva, catarrh, kc., none of them of a serious character. I am glad to report that the superintendent and matron always treat the sick boys in a kind and in- dulgent manner, and that I have never made a recom- mendation without it being at once carried out.

The Highway Board, the School Boards, the managers of public elementary schools, and donors of £ 25 and upwards were entitled to one representative each, and two would be appointed by co-optation.—Mr. Thomas Morris said that the Rüv.

TTPHOID^AT BARGOKD.—The medical officer said he had received a note to the effect that there was a child ill of typhoid fever at Bargoed. It appears thai there were three children of tho same family ill and had died. These had been attended by Dr. Shaugh- nessy, but that gentlemr.n had not registered any of the deaths in the house as having been caused by typhoid. Dr. Owen, however, who attended the fourth child, notified the case as one of typhoid.—Mr. Alfred Phillips said he had been told that there was a bad drain near. The surveyor was instructed to report upon the matter at the next meeting. THE POWKR-S OF THE COUNCIL.—The clerk read a detailed report upon the powers of the District Counciis. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT.—Dr. Dyke, the medi- caloffieer, reported us followsThe following abstract contains the main statistics relating to the sanitary condition of the Rural Sanitary District of Merthyr Tydfil during the year 1894 In the district of the Rural Sanitary Authority comprising the patishes of Gelligaer and Rhigos, Vaynor and Penderyn, the number of occupied houses at the middle of the year 1894 was ascertained by the surveyor to he 3,952, an increase of 140 new dwellings. The estimated num- ber of inhabitants was 19,964, an increase of 700 per- sons. The total of births was 763, and of deaths 363, showing an increase of 400 births over deaths. The average rate of births was 32 per 1,000, and deaths 18 per 1,000. All these results indicated the sound state of the health of the people. The number of occupied houses in the Gelligaer parish had been increased by the erection of 120 new dwellings, the total now inhabited being 2,736, and the estimated population 14.352. The births of 571 children were registered, and 252 deaths, showing a birth and death rate respec- tively of 39 and 17'8 pfir 1,000, this being ths lowest death rate during the past 20 years. Houses occupied in Rhigos were 978, and the births and deaths 28 and 26 per 1,000 respectively. In the parish of Vaynor 19 new houses had been erected, making a total of 683, and the estimated population 3,154.

The late Rural Sanitary Authority spent £ 71 18s. 4d. in making mains, straining tank, kc. The building company spent £ 90 in making main sewers, making a total expenditure of £ 16118s. 4d. If land can be obtained on the adjoining estate, the cost of laying pipes for the railway bridge, building straining tank, and fixing junctions, &c., will cost about £100, If land cannot be obtained, bucket closets must be adopted, and as you have provided land for 200 houses, the cost of removing the contents of 200 buckets will amount to j378 a year but if the buckets were placed in the road, the scavenger's bill would be reduced to J339 a year.

NEGLECTED ABERAMAN. RATEPAYERS' MEETING. The Ht-v. H. P. Jenkins occupied tho chair at a thoroughly representative meeting held at Saron Hall, Aberaman, on Monday. In his opening remarks the chairman explained the import of the meeting, and alluded to the business of the previous meeting. The road at Cwmbacb from Aberaman, a cemetery for the lower parts of the parish, and the necessity for forming a ratepayers' association, were the planks which should be the platform that would be necessary to work upon. Mr. Henry Davies followed in English, and alluded to the necessity of organisation, and proposed tho following resolution :—" That we, as ratepayers of Nos. 4 and 5 Wards, form an association."—This was seconded by Mr. D. Jarman, and carried unani- seconded by Mr. D. Jarman, and carried unani- mously. Tho road to connect Cwmliaoh and Aberaman was then brought to the front. — Mr. F. Rowe supported this matter, and in a trenchant speech denounced the authorities at Aberdare who have kopt their improv- 11 'r ing clique in the town. It was the duty of Aberam- anites to push the question of improving the lower part of the town, and the Ratepayers Association should appeal for support to promote the improve- ment of this part,—Mr. Rowe then proposed that a road be made between Aberaman and Cwmbach, and that this meeting pledges itself to support Mr. Howell in his efforts on the District Council. Mr. Morgan Edwards seconded the motion, giving a brief resume of similar promotions of a road between those two places. — Mr. John Williams (Rock Inn) suggested that a deputation be voted to wait upon the members of the District Council to impress upon the members the necessity of a road, and that it is due in respect of the enormous amount of rates that are paid from these wards. Mr. D. M. Richards urged earnestness and effort. A representative from Cwmbach advocated a road to the centre of Cwmbach, and not to improve the present inconvenient and insufficient pathway.—Mr. Thos. Pyle advocated caution, and denounced tho snobbish attention to new mem'iers on the District Council. Instead of Mr. Rowe's proposition he moved that this meeting pledges itself to support Mr. John Howell in his demands for road accommodation between Cwmbach and Aberaman, and wishes to call the attention of the Council to the necessity of a road Buitable for vehicular traffic. This was seconded, and Mr. Rowe's proposal w ithdrawn, and the amendment carried without dissent. carried without dissent. I Mr. John Howell, in responding, thanked the meeting for the compliment tendered to him, and explained the circumstance alluded to, which occurrel at the District Council. Mr. Morgan Joliu alluded to the Great Western Railway passing down the place, but there was no station there if a road was made between the two places, Cwmbach and Aberaman, the company would doubtless erect a station. Then the cemetery question came on for discussion. —Mr. Henry Davies suggested that it should be demanded, giving ample proofs of its necessity.—Mr. Morgan Edwards, a member of the Local Board, explained the question, and gave an idea of what the Board had done in the matter.—Thomas Howells, postmaster, proposed that this meeting heartily support the members of the Board (including Mr. Morgan Edwards) in their indeavours to treat with the Powell Duffryn Company, with regard to obtain- ing a burying ground, and expressed a hope that the negotiations would prove successful. — This was seconded by Mr. Jarman and carried with acclama- tion. Mr. Thomas Pyle proposed: "That we hereby pledge ourselves to become members of tho association of ratepayers of No. 4 and 5 Wards, and do abide by the rules of the same."—Mr. John Jenkins, Ynys- cynon, in seconding the proposal, felt that the ques- tions before the meeting wero of vital importance, and should have been brought before the notice of the public long since.—Mr. Henry Da\ ies then pro. posed that Messrs. F. Rowe and T. Pyle be appointed organizing secretaries, who should work for Abera- man and Cwmbach respectively. < A vote of thanks was carried with acclamation to our Aberaman representative, Mr. Morgan Parr for his endeavours on behalf of the movement as secretary pro. tun. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IX THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY. Our corpulent readers will be glad to learn how to positively lose two stone in about a month, with the greatest possible beneSt in health, strength, and muscle, by a comparatively new system. It is a singular paradox that the patient, returning quickly to a healthy state, with increased activity of brain, digestive and other organs, naturally requires more food than hitherto, yet, notwithstanding this, he absolutely loses in weigiit one or two pounds daily, as the weighing machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion of starvation. It is an undoubted success, and the autnor, who has devoted years of study to the subject, guarantees a noticeable reduction within twenty-four hours of commencing the treatment. This is different with other diseases, for the patient, in some cases, may go for weeks without being able to test whether the physician has rightly treated him, and may have derived no real or apparent improve- ment in health. Here, we repeat, the author guarantees it in twenty four hours, the scale to ba the unerring recorder. The treatment aims at tho actual root of obesity, so that the superfluous fat does not return when discontinuing the tieatment. It is perfectly harmless. We advise our readers to call the attention of htout fviendH to this. because, pinceioly, we think they ought to know. For their information we may say that on sending cost of postage (fourpence), a reprint of I i ess notices from some hundreds of medical and other journals-British and foreign-and other interesting particulars, including the hook (256 pages), containing the "iecipe," can be had from • Russell, Woburn House, Store Street, Bedford Square, London, W.C.

THE MERTHYR BURIAL BOARD. The monthly meeting of the Merthyr Burial Board was held on Friday at the Board Offices, iu Victoria- street, when Mr. D. Davies, Aberfan, the Chairman of the Board, presided.—The Cefu sexton (Mr. W. Meredith) reported that the employees of the Cardiff Corporation had considerably endangered the ceme- tery at Cefu whilst carrying on blasting operations. The stones, some of them weighing a pouud or so, were hurled a distance of 400 yards, and ou one occa- sion narrowly missed striking the sexton whilst engaged in digging a grave.—The clerk was instruc- ted to write to the Cardiff Town Clerk on the subject. Arrangements were made for paying the last instal- ment of the Board's loan, and some business of a routine character was transacted.
