TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF HAVERFORDWEST, NARBERTH, AND FISHGUARD. GENTLEMEN, I lament that the retirement of Mr Scourfield from the Representation of your Boroughs has imposed upon you the necessity of seeking another Candidate to supply his place. The Requisition I have bad the honour so unex- pectedly to receive from a large number of intelligent and influential Electors, demands as prompt and frank an acceptance on my part, as the support has been freely and handsomely given to me. The task, I feel, is great to follow one, who has for so many years zealously and efficiently discharged the duties of your Representative his unceasing and de- voted attention to your local interests, & his readiness at all times to devote his time and talents to the pro- motion of your welfare, have endeared him to those who agreed with him, & caused him to be respected by those who on some points differed from him. Should I be so fortunate as to attain the honourable position of repre- senting you in Parliament, I shall endeavour to follow his example. • I am a Conservative; entertaining liberal views I towards all good measures that commend themselves to my judgment, come from what side of the Rouse they may. On the great question of the total Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Irish Church, I think it right to state that my opinions are decidedly opposed to it; at the same time T am most desirous to consider and aid in remedying all evils that may be shewn to exist. I shall endeavour also to extend the usefulness and blessings which accompany our Reformed Church. Ishall offer the strongest opposition to the endowmen4 of the Church of Rome in Ireland. I rejoice at the removal of such grievances as were the cause of offence and wrong to the great body of our Nonconformist Brethren, and I wish to see the further removal of any under which theyjmay still continue to labour. I am very anxious to see the large increase in taxation which has taken place of late years, especially in our Military and Naval Departments, much di- minished, and indulge the hope that the policy of non- interference which Lord Stanley has so happily inaugurated will, hi the end, lead to a considerable European Disarmament. v My constant aim will be to j promote the success of measures that may conduce to I the reduction of Local Taxation. I I shall endeavour to press forward the Reform of the Bankruptcy, and other beneficial measures, which have I been so often hindered by valuable time being lost at the end of each session by party strife. It is my intention to wait on each of you, when II shall be prepared to answer any questions that may be put to me, and to explain further my political opinions. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, ■„ SAMUEL PITMAN. Picton Castle, 31st July, 18G8.

--0 MAD DOGs. Scarce a day passes which does not Chronicle some new or old curf for hydrophobia with the most amazing confidence, when it is really doubtful .whether a doz?n persons, or six, or one, has ever re- covered from an actual attack since the world began. To be bitten by a mad dog, let alone one only supposed. to be mad and to have an actual attack of hydrophobia, are things as different as possible, for twenty persons may be bitten by an animal actually rabid, and but one Dut of the twenty will have an attack. Recently a man and wife were bitten by a dog the husband died in horrible convulsions in a few days, while the wife is in good health. Cases are recorded seeming to show that imagination or alarm may induce convulsions and death apparently hydrophobic. Two things ought to be promptly 'done in all cases: do something, do anything on the instant as a means of quieting the patient's mind, and have the family physician called in as few seconds as possible. Presence of mind and calmness onthepattof attendants is of invaluable service. Every reader should carry with him this one practical idea during his life. As far as chemical analysis has progressed up to thia date, all bites and stings of a poisonous kind affect the system by the acid nature of the venom, which entera the blood instantaneously cvervone may know that an alkali aniaconizes an acid instantly; the strongest familiar alkali is hartshorn, or in another form, smell- ing-salts then wet a rag in the spirits, apply it to the wound, and keep it wet until the physician arrives, and then turn over the responsibility to him. But suppose you have no hartshorn, then make a poultice of fresh wood ashes and water, because this also is an alkali. If a lady is bitten on her way to church u«e the smelling- salts as a poultice by dissolving it in spirits; or if dry, and there are no spirits at hand, nor even a drop of water, make it into powder with a stone cr anything else, dampen it with the saliva, lay it on the wound, then cover it with a pocket-handkerchief, until the physician arrive-; these proceedings will not only afford a measure of satisfaction to the patient, soothing and imparting con- fidence, but in reality they are the most efficient means known to science for antagonizing poisonous eflects; but not to burden the meraorv too much, it may be added that the hartshorn not only antagonizes the poison by Hfi nullifying powers, but it smarts whenever applied to a broken skin; this smarting induces irritation, that is, it reddens the skin all around, which means that it draws the blood to the surface, keeping it from entering tbe general circulation. It may then occur to the reflecting render, that it around tha bite or sting, for an inch or two, the skin were scratched to bleeeding with the point of a knife, or even the finger nails, there would be an increased amount of irritation, and a proportionately greater safety insured.—DR W. HALL. I BREAKFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA. -The very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it a general favourite. Invigorating and sustaining, with a refined and grateful flavour developed by the special mode of preparation applied, this Cocoa is used as the habitual beverage for breakfast by thousand who never before used Cocoa. Cocoa stands very much higher than coffee or tea,' Dr. Hassall says, and 'contains every ingre dient neceesary to the growth and sustenance of the bodv.' It is made simply by pouring boiling water or milk on the preparation as sold. in llb., gib., and lib. packets. HOI.LOWAY'S PILLS -For Indigestion, Stomach, and Liver Complaints.— Persons suffering from any derange- ment of the liver, stomach, or the organs of digestion should have recourse to Holloway's Pills, as there is no, medicine known that acts on these particular complaints with such certain success. They strengthen the tone of he stomach, increase the appetite, purify the blood, and torrrct depraved secretions. In bowel complaints, they remove all morbid humours, and soon restore the patient to sound health nervous or sick headaches, and depres- ion of spirits may be speedily removed by these Pills, They are composed of rare balsams, without the admii, ture of a grain of mercury or any noxious substaace, and are as sale as they are efficacious. .w
