Sanitary.. In tyifl report the .Surveyor saijd Ms attention had been called to a house at ^ftybank, whi'ch was rather small and Occupied by a family of seven. There was no back to the house, nor closet. All the water was drained to the roadside \'lh unpleasant results. The house con- i&ted of a kitchen, pantry, and two bed- OO1ll8 one of which had a canvass ceiling, f he cubiiC icontents of the bedrooms were below what was required in a well- Ventilated "house.—Mr. Allen sjid. not see see why a single house should be reported lrlore than others. He proposed that the purveyor should make a systematic inspec- 1011 of the town.—Mr^Fox seconded the ?r°posit:on which was agreed to.—Dr. ^°nes though that action should be aken when a glaring case was reported.— Street OommiftteeVs recommenda- 'on to serve a notice on the owner was aeed to. Clearing the River. f. The Surveyor suggested that the '0Unty Council's attention should be alIed to the accumulation of stone and gravel under and near Bout- Fawr which to be removed to allow the water 0 'rse course and as Far as possible prevent n°oding.—The Clerk referred to previous ^despondence with the County Surveyor added that it was a ticklish" point to ide who was responsible for the river 1 e(l since the maintenance of the bridge been transferrd to the Great Western S^tnpany.—Mr. Fox after dealing with l' he legal aspect of the question, said the t1!ajr of the highway was not the ques- 1011. They wanted to find a way to pre- rent the flooding of the town. especially Jj*6 lower part. Whether the County j^Uncil was the proper authority to re- the accumulation or not, the river f must be cleared.—Dr. Jones said the Westion was so important that it must \} be lost sight of. It was a particularly ierlOUs matter for the inhabitants of the part of the town and if the County ^Unc-l disclaimed responsibility for the itOtk the Urban Council should undertake 1 or apply to the Great Western Com- th ^before they could do the work must come to a proper understand- —Mr. Fox said it was idle to suggest j?at the Great Western should clear the wvTr bed when they wrere only concerned ^h the bridge.—The Chairman thought i?6re must be some authority to deal with river bed especially when there was a Ubbc danger. Who would be responsible the course of the river was restrained r diverted in the course of years by the ^pcurriu!atjon ?—¥r. Hughes thought the ^Uiicil should undertake the work, seeing ey had previously communicated with ^6 Cbunty Surveyor and were still in the a-me position. Tfa'ey otoulld inform the Vounty Council and hold them responsible it any damage occurred to the bridge.— Waike Williams agreed that the M^Uncil should remove the accumulation in the Wnion and Arran and could \Vv°ver ^ie cos^ rrom the County Council, ^/hatever the cost might be, it was urgent; oat the life and property of the inhabit- ^ould be protected.—Mr. Allen did t1 see why the Council should become hPyllslble for clearing the river bed feu I1 wou^ be expensive. There were ndreds of loads to be removed and the -Jt\e u'ou'd bo useful on the main road. j., Pr- Jon«~ said the stone would not be i*e-—^r- Mills thought the Council j^^Id know whether there was an agree- :ttElit between the County Council and the ^,aihvay Company.

Referring to the Councins: decision not to repair the portion of road near his residence at Glanymawddach, Dr Keight- ley wrote that he could not but regret the Council's action in that they would not do an act of common justice.— The letter was left on the table, Mr. Grif- fith saying that Dr. Keightleywas treated as weil as other ratepayers Mawddwy Railway. The Clerk reported having consulted Messrs. Humphrey Jones. Morris Jones, A. Griffith Jones in drafting a repl yto the Board of Trade as to the benefits likely to be derived by the district from the re-opening oft the Mawddwy Railway. The reply was read and considered both Satisfactory and well written.—A letter signed by Mr. Thomas Davies, chairman, and Mr. E. D. Jonee, clerk, was read stat- ing that at an exceedingly well-represented meeting of the inhabitants of the two parishes of Mawddwy resections wie-re passed with the utmost unanimity, the ardent feeling of the whole audience indi- cating the intense Interest taken in the matter. The resolutions were to the •effect that the meeting unanimously pro- tested in the strongest possible manner against the objection made by Mr. W. H. Bullock to the proposed railway rates; that it was merely a private objection and did not represent the opinion of the dis- trct; that the meeting was prepared to support the resolutions by a petition if necessary and had the most explicit con- fidence that Mr. David Davies, M.P., would endeavour to use every means to have the railway re-opened; and that capias of the resolutions should be sent to the Board of Trade, Light Railway Commissioners. Mr. David Davies, M.P., Sir Osmond Williams, M.P., Mr. J. D. Rees. M.P., and the County Council.— Mr. M. G Williams: Mr J. D. Rees will ask any number of questions. (Laughter.) —The Chairman: Let us have no more politics here. (More laughter.)—-On the proposition of Mr. M. G. Williams, seconded by Mr. John Roberts, it was unanimously agreed to support the reeolu- tions. Unsatisfactory Road. Llanaber Parish Council having called attention to the unsatisfactory state of Bwlchyllan road, the suggestions made by the Surveyor were agreed to. Painting. Two tenders were received for painting Tynygroes bridge, and that of Messrs. Hugh Evans and Son. at £9 £ 10s., was accepted. Financial. Mr. Morgan Williams presented a state- ment showing that payments were--made for highways and sanitary purposes amounting to £81 14s., leaving an over- draft of £106 lOd. Llanaber and Talyllyn parishes were still in arrear with previous calls amounting to £112. Calls would be due on December 1st ffor £ 265.—It was decided to communicate with the overseers of the parishes in arrear. Appoint/menfl Morris Jones Williams was appointed the Council's representative on the Governors of Bangor College. Drain Pftpe. The County Surveyor reported that he was repairing the county bridge at Llan- egryn and noticed a pipe, which did not enter the stream, u\ncHermf)ne the foundation of the bridge. The drain was put down by the Rural Council and he would be glad if the drain was. continued iso that the water would actually go direct into the stream.—The matter was re- ferred to the Inspector. Shop Without Plan Mr. John Jones, Bridge-street, Corris, wrote pointing out that the Inspector had misinformed the Council that he had pro- ceeded with the buildingr of a lock-up shop. Plan and specifications would be duly delivered as required by the byelaws when oompleteu.'—The Inspector read his cor- respondence with Mr. Jones and main- tained that what he said at the previous meeting was correct.-—Mr W. Owen said he and the Inspector had informed the builders of the need to submit plans, o that it was not a case of ignorance. He confirmed the Inspector's statements that a. wall was built on which, it was under- stcod a movable shed would be placed.— —It was decided to inform Mr Jones that if the building was proceeded with in con- travention of the bvelaws by not submit- ting a plan it would be pulled down.—Mr Morgan Wiilliams: I think we ought to say that we believe the Inspector's state- ment.—-The Medical Officer aid it was well known among builders that plans were required and there was no excuse for pleading ignorance. He felt that those who contravened the byelaws should be prosecuted which would be a warning to others and would strengthen the Council's .position. Sanitary. The Sanitary Inspector reported that six dwelling houses were disinfected during the month.^ The statutory notice requesting certain""work to be done at Osborne House, Dyffryn, had not been complied with and the time allowed had expired. At several farm houses in Llan- fachreth parish various defects of which complaints had been made were about to be remedied After referring to the defects in oither farmhouses he pointed out that there was want of accommodation and the unhealthy practice prevailed of storing wool and corn in the dwelling premises, a practice which seemed exceptionally com- mon in the narish, and the attention of owners should be called to it. He estimated the cost of laying a service pipe from the Council's pipe at Dyffryn to Benarfawr at £ 70.—The Medical Officer reported having visited Conis and Aber- gynolwyn and examined the dwelling houses where cases of tuberculosis had occurred. The houses were scrupulously clean and quite satisfactory from a struc- tural point of view but he was struck by the fact that all the windows were closed. That was to him a sad and distressing state of things when it was remembered that an abundance of fresh air was the best preventive a" well as the best cure of consumption. It was evident that the public in those districts were not yet convinced, which was disappointing in in view of the CouneilY efforts to bring the knowledge of that fact home to the minds of the people. He despaired of seeing any reduction in the consumptive death-rate until the people were really and truly 'convinced that it was a wise and safe procedure to admit as much fresh air as possible into their houses. Dealing with his visit to Dyffryn, he referred to an accumulation of manure close to a water < course, from whiich water was used for domestic purposes lower down. Several, fresh cases of scarlet fever occurred at Bontddu and he again drew the Council's attention to the necessity of providing a small place where the cases could be isolated.—The reports having been ,adopted and the necessary deps ordered to be taken, the Chairman said the Medical Officer had repeatedly called 1 attention to the need for an "isolation hospital, but he was afraid that the public were not yet sufficiently advanced to agree with him.—The Medical Officer said the question of expense need not be so much of an obstruction ntraioKt having an isolation hosp tal as lie d'd not suggest an expensive building. Referring to the danger of spreading infectious diseases, he said it was useless dosing elementary schools if those who were infected attended chapel and other meetings.—Mr. Ellis Williams referred to ftn instance where a chiM was taken in although the mother had taken every precaution.—The Medical Officer: Was that a visitation from above? (lJ:1ughte-r.)-M¡,rS\. Anwyl. wf-itihig from, Cheltenham, stated that the Council's; notice r«-;pectjn<T Heneae Farm, Aber- llefenny, had been sent to Mr.* Howard Jones, architect, who also wrote that he was Forry to hear that after the substan- j t:al improvements Which had been made j that the premises wc? still unsat:,sf:1C- I tory. He would visit Hennrae shortly and Mrs. Anwyl was prepared to do any work 1 that he considered ne2essary.The Chair- ] man thoucht the Architect's letter wa« r^t j satisfactory as the wishes of the Council's ■IBIHWI—^ offic'^ls should also be considered.—Tlie Medical Officer thought Mrs. Anwyl was desrous of remedying the defects and no further action wasl tjalcen.—Mirii Jiohn Davies clerk of the local managers, wrote that extracts of the Medical Officer's re- port respecting Dyffrynand Cwmnantcol schools had been forwarded to the County Education Authority. UNIONIST MEETING INTERRUPTED. Captain H. M. Richards, Caerynwch, presided over a largely attended meeting held at the Public Rooms on Wednesday evening of last week in support of the campaign, of Mr. R. Jones Morris as Unionist candidate for the county. Mr. Jones Morris was well received and explained why he came forward to fight the Unionist cause. He meant to fight as a Christian and hoped it would not be necessary for him to retract any word which he uttered. He did not believe in calling names when they differed from him. Having referred to the objects of the Unionist party, he spoke on Tariff Reform and unemployment, leaving the Budget till another meeting by when, they could rest assured, that it would be dead. He was conndent that if the electors were left to themselves and not interfered with he would be the chosen member at the next election. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Vaughan Wynn. Rug, also spoke and, referring to Mr. Ure's speech on old age pensions, he characterised the state- ment as a most wilful, disgraceful, and damnable falsehood. In all probability the ministers and elders would give voice to those damnable lies. Amid cries of "Withdraw" and stamping of feet, Mr. A. E. Hughes requested Mr. Wynn to withdraw the remark which; he said, was an insult to religion and Nonconformity. Mr. Wynn was not allowed to proceed, but eventually said that he made he remark politically and not in a religious sense. He had the greatest respect for Noncon- formity and, Mr. Hughes having accepted the explanation, Mr. Wynn proceeded with his speech amid further interruptions and dealt mainly with the Budget and Socialism. Questions were asked by Mr. Gelly and Mr. Hughes who were not satis- fied with the replies. A vote of thanks was passed to the speakers on the proposition of Mr. Robert Vaughan. GartTimaelan, who asked the electors not to believe all that was said on either side, but to use their common sense which was not scarce in the locality.

TOWYN — PETTY SESSIONS, Friday, November 5th.—Before J. C'hidlaw Roberts, H. Haydn Jones, Edward Williams, and J. Maethlon James. Esqns. Motor Case.—Charles Pierre Wenyet, described as a gentleman, Carleton Hotel, London, was charged by P.C. Evan Jones with having at Pennal on the 3rd August driven a motor car at a dangerous speed an the Machynlleth and Aberdovey road. —Mr. Guthrie Jones, Dolgelley, appeared for the prosecution and said the case was adjourned from the September court at the request of Mr. Oswald Davies. He saw Mr. Davies on the previous evening who said he did not intend appearing fur- ther. the defendant admitting the charge. —The Clerk said a letter had been sent, and the Chairman said it had been seen by the Bench.—-Evidencet having been given, Inspector Owen saying it was the biggest car he had ever seen in Merioneth the Bench fined defendant £4 and costs, including advocate's fee and cost of adjournment. Without Light.—Hugh Gabriel, Waun, Llanegryn was fined 2s. with costs for having ridden a cycle without light. Evan Evans, farm servant Dolgoeh, was fined 2s. 6d. and costs for having "driven a cart without light on October 15th on the Towyn and Aberganolwyn road A Dog Case.—P.C Davies Aberganol- wyn, charged Thomas Lloyd, Penvbont Hotel, with having kept a dog without licence.—Mr. Lloyd said the dog belonged to Lieutenant Gibbs of the 48th Regiment Northampton who was now in Spain. He was a frequent visitor to Talyllyn and practically a resident at Talybont Hotel. Mr. Lloyd produced letters from Lieut. Gibbs in all of which he referred to his dog "Gip," but could net say whether a licence had been taken out for the dog or not as he could not well ask gentlemen staying at the hotel whether they had taken out licences for their dogs or not. He. how- ever. was almost sure a licence had been taken out as the dog had been lost at Northampton and found by the police and they certainly would see that there was a licence.—The Bench adjourned the case for a month to enable Mr. Lloyd to pro- duce evidence as to the licence. A Volatile Spir it.—William Bennett Davies, Post Office, Llanegryn, was sum- moned for selling spirit of nitre under standard.—Mr. Davies did not appear, but sent a letter from the firm from which the nitre was bought saying they guaranteed the spirit on leaving their place, but could not guarantee it afterward as it contained a very volatile spirit which rapidly evap- orated. so that theispirit would deteriorate even by opening the bottle to take a sample.—-The Bench imposed a fine of 6d. only. An Aberdovey Assault Case.—-P.C. J. Morgan Jones. Aberdovey charged Mar- garet Williams, widow, Trefrifawr, Aber- dovey. with having inflicted grievous bodily, harm on Mary Davies, Bryncrug. a servant in her employ, on the 27th October. The charge was reduced to one of common assault. Mr. Guthrie Jones appeared for complainant and Mr. W. P. Owen. Aber- yKtwyth, for the defendant. Opening the caise, Mr. Guthrie Jones said that Davies since June had been a servant in Williams's employ at Trefrifawr Farm, Aberdovey. Davies was not a woman of very strong mind. On the morning of the 27th October she was engaged in washing clothes. About eleven o'clock, Mrs. Wil- liams saw table cloth which Davies had washed and wrung out. Mrs. Williams threw it back into the tub and said it was not properly washed. Davies made a re- mark and went to take the cfloth from the tub, when Williams took the cloth and struck Davies with it. There were \vovtfs between them and Williams rushed at Davies, tore her blouse to bits and there was a scuffle. h. Williams then took the poker and wTth it twice struck Davies on the head and once on the arm. Davies tried to defend herself and, bleeding pro- fusely, eventually ran for a policeman. After calling at Sychnant, she went to the Aberdovey police officer and then to Dr. Jackson who dressed her wounds. In the afternoon of the isame day P.C. Morgan Jones went to Trefrifawr, accompanied by Davies. At first Williams denied that she had struck Davies. but afterwards said there had been a scuffle and suggested that Davies had hurt herself in the scuffle. The officer took the poker but while he was assisting Davies to get her box down- stairs Williams ran out into the fields with the poker. He followed her and had some difficulty in finding her. When he. did find her she denied having taken the poker, but ultimately fetched it flrom among the gorse. Wlien -served with the summons, Williams denied striking Davies with the poker and said she might have been struck by the frying pan and a stand fallng on her.—MaryDavies, the complain- ant, who had a bandaged head, giving evidence, said that up to the 27th she was in service at Trefrifawr and was engaged on that day washing. Mrs. Williams threw a table cloth back into the washing tub. She asked Mrs. Williams what good was that for, and she replied that it was easy to get people to wash better. Com- plainant said she had washed for people as good as Mrs. Williams when Mrs. Wil- liams struck her with the cloth acroos her breast. She told Williams to mind what 13he was doing. Williams! attempted to turn her out, but failed, though she ripped her bodice. Williams then took the poker and hit Davies with it twice on the head and once on the arm. [The poker was produced and appeared to be the detached handle of a fire shovel uised as a poker]. She (Davies) had a cap on her head which fell into the tub. She took hold of Williams to defend herself. "When he got out of the house saying she would fetch the police blood was flowing down to the ground. On her way to Aber_ dovey called at Sychnant and saw Mrs. Jones. At Aberdovey saw P.C Morgan Jones and afterward went to Dr. Jackson who dressed her wounds and had been attend- ing her up to the present. When she saw blood flowing, she did not know whether she tried to strike Williams, but did not think SOL In the afternoon she went with the constable to Trefrifawr for her box.— Cross-examined: She was out of a place in June and Williams sent to her by her brother. Did not ask for 30s. the very next day after going to Trefrifawr, and when told she could not have it did not speak to Mrs. Williams in a way no ser- vant should speak to her mistress. She worked in the harvest with Thomas Jarman, but did not take up the scythe- and threaten to put it in his stomach. On the 24th October, left the house in the afternoon and did not return until the following morning, but had Mrs Williams's permission to go.—Mr. Guthrie Jones say_ ing he did not see the relevancy of the evidence, Mr. Owen said he wanted to show that Davies disregarded every rule of the house and was boss of the whole place.—In continued cross-examination, Davies said she found it getting rather late when she wellt on the 24th and thought it better to stay all night. She started to return at five o'clock on the following looming. Mrs. Wiilliams told her she had better stay where she had been but did not tell her to go that day. She did not break the furniture in conse- quence of what was said. There had been an accident the week before and Mrs. Williams said she would have to pay for the damage; but she (Davies) did not say if that was done she would do her worse for Mrsi. Williams. When she put the taMe cloth on the table Mrs. Williams got in an awful temper and said it was not properly washed but she (Davies) did not say she had learnt to wash before wash- ing for a hen stiw like her. She told Williams that she had been washing for as good people as her. She did not throw a1 pillow case on the flora- and get hold of Williams by the shoulders and threaten to put her out -of the doors if Williams dared to touch her. It was Williams who began. Williams tried to put her out, but she (Davies) was the stronger. After that the poker came on her head in a moment. She (Davies) had not the tongs in her hand and the frying pan and the teapot stand did not fall cn her head during the scuffle. There was a frying pan in the room. Mrs Williams did not first say she would go for the police. After the row the mistress was outside and she (Davies) inside the house. She had no tongs or floor brush in her hand. Her object in going to Trefri- fawr in the afternoon wars to get her box and nothing else. She had not told Emma Williams on the following day that if she thought there would have been all that bother about the matter she would not have said anything about it.—Re-exam- ined: In the harvest field she gave Jarman a message from Mrs Williams when he got into a temper and struck at her. On the 24th she went home to Bryncrug. but re- turned at five on the following morning, arriving at TreMawr about seven.—Mrs. Margaret Williams, Sych- nant said that Davies called at her house about a quarter past eleven crying and saying "What shall I do?" Blood was flowing from her head, her arm was naked and bruised and her blouse was torn and covered with blood.—In cross-exanyna- ticn. witness denied that there was ill- feeling between her and Mrs. Williams-.— P.C John Morgan Jones said that Davies called at the Police Station about half- past eleven with face, neck, and arms evered with blood, and in a terrible state. Her blouse had been dragged to pieces. At Trefrifawr Mrs. Williams, in answer to his question whether it had not been rather bad there, said she really did not know what had happened. She denied that she .struck Davies with the poker, but the frying pan might have fallen down or the small stand. "He had taken the poker and put it on the table, and when he was helping the girl downstairs with her box he heard a noise and twigged something and when he came downstairs he found the poker and Mrs. Williams gone. Outside i he could not see a glimpse of her. but the bailiff said she had gone down to the cattle. :,]1 the field. Half an hour after he found her among the cattle and asked her for the poker. "What poke'-?" she replied. "The poker you took off the table." "I call God to witness I never saw it." He told her lie would not go from there with- out it. At last she said it was in the brack,en or gea-se,; w"ntuaU1;y she fetched it and gave it to him. She after- ward voluntarily made a statement deny- ing that she had hit Davies with the poker, suggesting that the frying pan bad fallen on her on that she struck herself with the ,tongs she had in her hand.—Cross-exam- ined She made a similar statement when served with the summons and signed it. He had cautioned her before she did so. Mrs Williams said that Davies caught hold of her by the hair, but did not say that she refused to leave the house When witness was taking her box, Mrs Williams tried to persuade her net to do so. Mrs, Williams did not show him the state of her hair or that she had been knocked about.—Dr. Jackson. Aberdovey, said Davies had a wound on the front of the head about an inch long and nearly down to the bone and lump on the left side of the head. He afterward saw a bruise on her arm. The wound had bled profusely her clothes were spotted with hlood: a'nd her blouse war3 torn.-—This concluding the case for the prosecution, Mr. Owen addressed the Bench, contending that the mistress was entitled to eject a servant for disobedience and impertinence, and that the injuries were caused in the scuffle. He asked the Bench to say if there was any case to answer The Bench saying there was Mrs. Williams, the defendant, wa-s called and said on the Sunday before the affair Davies went. away about three o'clock in the afternoon. She did not know where Davies was going and had to do all the work in the house and attend to the cows. Davies returned about eight o'clock on Monday morning and when asked where she had been, said she had been for a walk, on which she (witness) asked her if she had not better go where she had been. Davies replied that she did not think she better had; threw the things about and broke them, and wa.s told she would have to pay for the breakages. On the 27th October defendant had warmed the water and put it in the tub for washing and put the clothes to soak, telling Davies to put the potatoes on the fire and have dinner ready by the time the men came in. Davies however, went to the tub, took the table cloth out and threw it on the table. Defendant said the table cloths were not getting very clean and asked Davies to let them soak and get cleaner. Davies replied "I learnt to wash before you, you old stiw." Defendant put the cloth back into the tub and said if Davies was not ready to take the washing she (defendant) would do it and Davies could go out. Davies replied that she would not go out. She caught hold of her (defendant) and endeavoured to put her out. In the scuffle Davies attempted to strike her, but hit the frying pan and the teapot stand and they fell. When defendant called out Davies got into a greater temper and told her to shut her mouth. Davies taking hold of a brush, defendant went to the door and called for a boy to fetch a. policeman, and when Davies heard that she said she would send for a policeman. Asked seriously if she had struck Davies twice on the head, defendant said she did not. She did take the, poker out of the house, but it was because Davies was telling lies in saying she had been struck with it and because she thought tlie policeman had 110 right to take her property. She was alone in the house and had no one to advise her. She never touched Davies with the p-oker.- Cross-examined: She would have liked Davies to have gone on the Monday after -she returned from Bryncrug because it was difficult to live with her. She paid Davies £5 for the half-year. She Isaid she had been getting £ 15 10s a year in another place. She (defendant) had been doing the work of the house for ten years and took Davies out of pity. but told her she could go if she could find ai better place. She did not strike Davies with the cloth, nor tear her blouse. Davies took up the tongs and in trying- to hit her knocked the things down which fell on her and not on defendant. She did not show the constable any marks on her. She did not deny for an hour that she had taken the. poker out of the house; but she denied that she had struck Davies with it. She did not think the constable had any right to ECO into her house, ask her ouestion, aiid- take her property.—Mr. Guthrie Jones: Is it a new thing for you to fight with people ?— Defendant: That has. nothing to do with the present case.—Mr. Owen said he had not attacked the character of witnesses on the other side and thought the question irrelevant,—The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr. David^ Evans) thought it relevant, on which Mr Guthrie Jones asked defendant if she had not been bound over in that court for an assault on a young girl?—Defendant said it had nothing to do with the present case but on being pressed said there was a cross-summons and she was bound over. She did not quarrel and fight with a servant girl two years ago, nor did the g'rl leave her employ because of the fig-ht.-In reply to Mr. Owen, defendant said there was something of the kind fifteen or twenty years ago. She was by herself in the house on the 27th and very much upset by the row and the presence of the constable. Though she did not -show the constable any marks, she told him that Davies got hold of her by the hair.—Mr. Owen said he had Jarman in Court but Mr. Jones said he could not be called and this, con- cluding the evidence, the Bench retired and, after a short deliberation, fined defendant JB5 including costs

WORTH YOUR ATTENTION. Every person's future is to a certain extent in his own hand. Many a future which might have been brilliant has been darkened by lack of timely preparation to meet the exigencies and changes which occur in every day life. Many a home which might have been gladdened by life and health, and comfort, has been saddened by poverty, illness, and death, in many cases wholly preventable. The Antumn months are, from a saDitsry point of view, among the most important of the year. Due care may now mean a robust constitution to meet the trials!of Winter. Neglect may now mean a broken constitution to succumb under the attacks of any exceptional trial. There are, indeed, few that do not feel the system needs recruiting after the trying feel- ing of lassitude, with others, not quite up to the mark," a sort of all over sinking feeling," too weak to do anything about the houee," these recurring luadacbes," "no appetite for my food," etc. These, and a dozen others, are common expressions which all point to the urgent need of some good tonic mixture, a reliab!e medicine of e<tablished reputation and of proved virtue. There are eeveral tonic mixtures to be bad, but none which have been so uniformly successful as Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters—the great Welsh Tonic. It is always efficacious acd genuinely successful in all cases of Indigestion, Weakness, Nervousness, Low Spirits, Sleeplessness, Dyspepsia, Liver Com- plaints, Neuralgia, and Influenza.

Pain is no respector of persons, be advised, try Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, a sovereign remedy for various ailments, for rich and poor alike. It is not so much what you PClY for a thing, but what you get for whar, you pay.

To prevent disappointment, above all things see that you get the right article, with the name "Gwilym Evans" on Label, Stamp, and BottJe, without which none is genuine.

Tried, Tested and Testified to by Hundreds of t 0) Farmers & Stock Breeders throughout the country zn Red Lion Hotel, Llanrhystyd. Dear Sirs, It is with great pleasure that I write to tell you of the benefit derived by horses putting up at my hotel by using Morris Evans' Horse, Sheep, and Cattle Oil A large number of horses are stabled here during the course of a year and I have had many taken very bad with Colic. I always have Lthem dosed with Morris Evans' Oil and they come right again in a very sbor t time and are able to proceed on their journey. I have also found Morris Evans' Oil most beneficial for my cattle. Youria truly, (Mrs.) M. DAVIES. New Farm, Bredwardine, Hereford. Sirs, From personal experience I Clan testify to the efficacy of Morris Evans' Horse, Sheep and Cattle Oil. It gives unqualified satisfaetioii and is of special value in severe cases of Colic and 3ripes. I have also used it for Cuts and Sores and believe it to be unequalled. Yours truly, B. WATKINS. I, Hamilton Road, Grove Road, London, E. Dear Sirs, Kindly send me another 10. bottle of Morris Evans' Horse, Sheep, and Cattle Oil at once. The last one I had has done wonders. I certainly cannot be without it now. It has proved in- valuable in my cowshed. I find that if a cow has lost her appetite and going out of condition a few doses of Morris Evans' Horse, Sheep, and Cattle Oil will put her right again and she ieifl milk much better. It is a wonderful Oil for both inward and outward application. Any srall- inga cf the udder, sprains, or outs can be quickly healed by applying Morris Evans' H«*e, Sheep, and Cattle Oil. Send my bottle on by return and oblige. Yours truly, THOMAS JONES. London Representative-Mr. A. J. EDWARDS, 3, CRISPIN STREET, BISHOPSGATE, E. Sold by all Chemists and Grocers.
