PERTWEE (BURRYFORT), With Preface by the Editor of The Cambrian. NOW SELLING. May be obtained at The Cambrian Office, Swansea; and from Pri&cipal booksellers in South Wales. The Book deal8 p, he Foundation and History of the Parish ch of Pembrey, before and after the Norman ConqUeat) and with itg Architecture, Carvm;& &c. There are 23 valuable and interesting Illustrations. PRESS OPINIONS. The Western Mail says :Mr. Edward Roberts of Swansea, a gentleman who has provided the public with many InstructIve and original con. tributions on place-nam as just produced a most interesting his'to'T, • Wtyd's Church, Pembrey, which is publis in book form, and is copiously illustrated by Mr. tL. A. Pertwee, of Burry Port, who has also dealt with the architec- tural portion of the work. The Ltanelly Guardian says:-That the history of this church has been undertaken by Messrs. Roberts and Pertwee at once guarantees antiquarian research and local knowledge com. bined; for the former gentleman ha.s for many I years made a speciality of the study of Welsh, antiquities and place names. Such sur- vivals as heraldic carvings, burials and memorial stones, the inscriptions for which are most interesting reading, bring back to our minds the Butler family, of Dunraven and Pembrey; the Vaughans, the Mansels and the xtees's. In fact, the little brochure is a most complete collection of historical facts connected with the old Church and the district. The letterpress and illustrations are excellently printed, and much credit is due to The Cambrian office, Swansea, for the tasteful manner of its get-up. A Torquay gentleman writes :—" The writers I of the very interesting work on St. Illtyd's Church, Pembrey, which has been recently pub- lished at your office, invite discussion in your I columns. They must be first congratnlated on their contribution to the literature of parochial histories, and The Cambrian Newspaper Company also deserves praise for the style m which the book has been printed and issued.

[12131 ICTORIA WARD ELECTION, LADIES AND GENTLBMSN, Of course I am not pleased with the result of this Election, Mr. Spring has taken my seat; he has acted unfairly towards me, and I am quite certain he has not gained anything by it. A great deal has been said about the rottenness of the Victoria Ward. I do not think the result of this Election has shown this. The great majority of the electors of this Ward are very poor, and there is no doubt, that Mr Spring has been a good friend to them. He looked after their courts, drains and streets personally, and in a way which I could not pretend to. Those who live in good houses and in different surroundings, cannot realise what this attention has meant. I must confess that I cordially sympathise with the difficulty in which many of the electors found themselves, and I do not blame them for voting for Mr. Spring. In saying good-bye to the Victoria Ward, I wish to publicly thank those friends who so unselfishly supported me, and to say that this sympathy and appreciation during the 16 years I represented the Ward, was one of the greatest incentives to me in doing what little I was able to do in our mutual interests while I was in the Council. Yours f .ithfully, FRED. ROCKE. SWANSEA MUNICIPAL ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE FFTNONE WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—I have to tender you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in returning me unopposed as your representative.

SWANSEA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER…
SWANSEA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1898. THE MEDIOAL PROFESSION. By the wise munificence of Mr. B. Evans, J.P., Swansea now possesses an Operating Theatre equipped with all the latest scientific and surgical appliances. It is attached to the General Hospital, and was opened on Friday last under most auspicious circum- stances, despite the unpropitious weather. As Mr. Howel Watkins, chairman of the Hospital Board of Management, very aptly remarked in the course of the proceedings there "is no incident in the course of Mr. Evans' long and honourable career which he can look back upon with more pride and satisfaction than the inspiration which prompted him to make the town so handsome a gift." Mr. B. Evans has not only conferred upon the people of Swansea an invaluable boon, but he has placed at the disposal of the Hospital medical staff a highly important and practically indis- pensable surgical adjunct. The operating theatre was opened by Sir Wm. MacCarmac, president of the Royal College of Surgeons. Sir William occupies an eminent position in the medical profession. Mr. J. Aeron Thomas, whose very successful and unusually genial mayoralty is almost at an end, paid a happy and well-deserved tribute to the distinguished surgeon, while he extended him a cordial welcome to Swansea. The speeches at the Hospital and at the evening banquet were intensely interesting and highly encouraging, and should do much to cement the good relationships existing between the public and their medical advisers. The medical gentlemen present heartily applauded the sentiment eyp 'eased by Mr. B. Evans thus "In the larger sense, everything which renders surgical treatment more expeditious and more antisceptic, is an instrument of the healing art. While the surgeons are adding so marvellously year after year to their knowledge, is it for us to maik time and Et),nd still ? No they have gained the right to ask us for all that will enable them to turn their skill to the best account." One of the great duties of the medical profession is the training of its successors and the extension of the field of knowledge by fostering re- search and encouraging well-directed efforts to wrest fresh secrets from nature, which could be turned to the advantage of practical medicine. At the banquet in the evening Dr. T. D. Griffiths, president of the local society, spoke wisely when he said more pains should be tpk,n to instruct the pablic on such questions. Perhaps the greatest difficulties to-day in health administration arise from the comparative ignorance of the people on sanitary matters. In a country with a democratic constitution like ours public health work can never move faster than the education of the community on such questions. It is most desirable that a common understanding should exist as to the present position of the science and art of medicine. The days are passed when medical men were accustomed to make great claims as to their powers, arrogantly pretending to control processes of nature which they are really unable to materially influence. The medical profession now recognises its limita- tions none know so well as its members how much their art is capable of improve- ment, and how little it can achieve as compared with what they would desire. Still, we know that medicine has advanced amazingly during the present century, and is advancing every day in all directions at an accelerated and ever accelerating speed. Swansea has made a most honourable con- tribution to that advance. The late Dr. Padley, Dr. J. Paddon, Dr. J. G. Hall, Dr. Griffiths, Dr. D. Arthur Davies, Dr. Ebenezer Davies, Dr. John Evans, Dr. Jabez Thomas. Dr. Rawlings, and Dr. Couch form a roll of m3dical practitioners of which any town might be proud. And as they step aside their places are taken by younger men, equally as capable and zealous. We think v we may mention Dr. H. A. Latimer—who is not only a very able doctor, but also a gentleman of much literary learning—Dr. F. Brook—who is confidently expected to come to the front in the world of surgery-Dr. Knight, Dr. E. Ie Cronier Lancaster, Dr. Humphreys, and others. It cannot be gainsaid that the public show a generous appreciation of the ser- vices so faithfully rendered by our medical advisers. The former fully recognise the honest good intent ef the latter, and if they sometimes evince less gratitude than the doctors think or know they deserve, on the other hand they often accord them more. And if medical men treat their patients from the humblest to the highest with care, courtesy and discretion—as they invariably do it will be found that, generally speaking, they have not to complain of any want of appreciation and gratitude. Few can have listened to Sir Wm. MacGormac's address on surgery without profit and enjoyment. Its tone suggests that it is possible to unite in one person the power of scientific observa- tion and generalisation and those practical qualities which go to make the sound teacher of clinical surgery. Much has been done in the course of the Queen's reign to extend medical knowledge, and thereby reduce suffering; but here it will suffice to refer to two or three discoveries that have an incalculable effect in staying the progress of disease. First and foremost comes the wonderful discovery of anaesthesia by Dr. Morton of Boston. After many experiments upon himself and the lower animals, Dr. Morton succeeded in drawing a tooth from a patient whom he had caused to inhale the vapour of sulphuric ether, and "as thereby put into a condition in which he felt no pain from the operation. A year later it was first used in Europe by the great English surgeon Robert Lister, at University College Hospital, and in the same year Sir James Simpson first demonstrated and advocated the use of chloroform. Sir Wm. MacCormao and Dr. T. D. Griffiths referred on Friday to the famous principle of antisepsis in surgery, with which the name of Lord Lister will always be associated. In the teeth of stem opposition Sir William succ- eeded in demonstrating the utility and importance of the tieatment, and also in securing its recognition and adoption. A great French chemist had discovered that the cause of mischief in wounds was the presence of the tiniest of living creatures, and Lord Lister came to the conclusion that if he could dress the wound with some- thing that would kill them, he would be able to treat a conpound fracture in just the same manner as a simple one. He found that the use of carbolic acid would ke3p the wound quite free from anime1 life, and since this discovery, for which Sir William Mac- Cormac so heroically fought, all kinds of wounds have been cured that were previous- ly considered hopeless, and much pain and suffering have been saved. Perhaps no country has more just cauce to be proud of the ethical traditions of the medical pro feBsion than ours but many eminent physicians and surgeons urge that it is a duty laid upon every member of the pro- fession to be very watchful that in the great struggle for existence their standard of moral conduct does not deteriorate. The dangers which beset the moral standard of the profession are great, but it is to the credit of the profession that so fesv of its members succumb to these dangers. It is often repeated that medicine is a glorious profession, but a vile trade. It ia one in which chivalry ought to survive longest, for its function is to be sleeplessly 10 arms 10 the c»n,e of the weak and less fortunate. "Pure science" may teach that it is for the benefit of the race that the weak and sick should be left to perish. This is oaly another way of uttering the old heathen cry "Yae victis!" We are conifdent that for the members of the medical profession this theory has no meaning when they deal with sick or with one another. If it had, all their work would be a terrible mockery or a sordid trade. There is most assuredly something higher and grander than the brute forces of Nature, falsely so-called.

Mr. Ben Davies and Madame Albani had the honour of singing before the Queen and the Royal Family on Saturday last. At the Medical Banquet on Friday Sir William MacCormac, Dr. T. D. Griffiths, the Worshipful Mayor (Mr. J. Aeron Thomas), Dr. Jones (Cardiff), and Chancellor Smith, Vicar of Swan. sea, sat next to each other at the chief table. They formed a commanding group. Sir William was the tallest, then came the Mayor of Swansea, followed by Canon Smith, Dr. Jones and Dr. Griffiths. Mr. Ivor B. John, son of Mr. J. H. John, has had the honour of being awarded the first fellow. ship of the University of Wales. The fellowship is awarded for two years, and carries with it the sum of £125 a year to enable the holder to pursue works of original research. Mr. John is a student at the South IWales University College, Cardiff, and we understand it is his intention to at once proceed to Paris to read for his thesis The influence of medieval French literature upon medieval English literature." We con- gratulate Mr. John upon the distinction he has won. The results of the municipal elections in Swan. sea are very discouraging. They reveal a pitiable condition of affairs. When will an improvement set in ? How can that improvement be effected ? These are questions which must at present be uppermost in the minds of the more patriotic and thoughtful burgesses. It would seem that at this moment the ratepayers as a body lack patriotism and the true civic spirit to a lament- able degree. Indifferent to the town's welfare, and ignorant of their responsibilities as citizens and of that municipal government which makes for the public good, they are led away by specious speeches and clap-trap. Take Morriston. During the whole campaign matters municipal were kept strictly in the back-ground. It was a spiteful faction fight, in which by fa.r the ablest candidate has been worsted. We have not a plethora of capable business men in the Council Chamber that we can afford to lose Mr. W. H. Edwards. However, the electors of Morriston have made their choice. We hope it pleases them. Councillor W. H. Spring—he is no longer an Alderman—has the satisfaction of knowing that he has ousted from the Council Chamber a gentleman far his superior in business ability, and who, for upwards of fifteen years, rendered
