Denbighshire Teachers' Association. 4141%Op of St. Asaph and Education. k, '1'be annual meetings of the Denbighshire e»cher3' Association, which is a branch of ^■^ational'Union of Teachers, was held » Qolwyn <Bay on Saturday. Mr E H f ones presided at the opening of the con- whan the new president, Mr S jjvine Joaes, of Colwyn Bay, ^as in- *JJ.ed in the chair. ,r Giynne Jones, in the course of his j^sidential address, dilated upon the im- ?^aQce of unity among the teachers of V^ty. ». "lie following resolution was moved by Jones, of Bersham :—<» That this ^eetiog begs the Denbighshire Education T^ttrlttee to provide a scale cff salaries for pss teachers, and also to receive a depu- ^on of teachers in connection with the <^1 branch of the Nationttl.redaation of distant Teachers at an early date." Mr Jones pointed out that he was speak- | lt1 on behalf of the assistants simply. than on behalf of the masters, Whereas the National Union of Teachers gave their support to the West ;*ai& teachers some time ago in regard to treatment of assistant teachers, the nlOn advised the Denbighshire teachers to the agreement which the Denbigh- IIh' 0 1 shire county authority had required them -to Sign. In doing that the Denbighshire ,eachers had tied their own hands, and ilorta to obtain better terms from the .4ttthority were now to all intents and pl.1- ,?08es unavailing. At this point in his tddress the speaker mdeo a vehement ap- l>eal to all teachers in the county to join 'the union and with emphatic gesture exclaimed, We cannot do anything while thEre are blacklegs in the county" (applause). Mr C Davies (Rhoeldu), in seconding tbe motion, protested against the present Method of the county authority in making Increases of salary to teachers. Mr R B SeareJl (Llanrhaiadr), moved,; *Ud Mr E J Roberts .(Denbigh), seconded,; a amendment to make the proposition applicable to head teachers as well as class teachers, fhifl wa«N«ecepted by the mover; seconder 0f the proposition, which was! carried unanimously and with en-; thusiasm. Miss Gitterw (Abergele) read a paper on My Impression American Education;" > based upon what she saw and heard during, her visit to the United States as a member, the party of British teachers taken aver by Mr Mosely. BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S HISTORICAL REVIEW. Iq the afternoon a public meeting was: eld, at which the Bishop of St Asaph; and wa« supported by Mr Herbert Roberts, Ms?., Mr T P Sykes,-ess- resident of the National Union of "eachers Mr J C Davies, organiser of ^ication for Denbigbshiie; Alderman °'mon Jones, Wssaxham Mr O Isg&ed Jones, Llaurwet; .-Canon Hugh Roberts, Colwyn Bay Rev John Edwards, chair— tnan of the Colwyn Bay School District kitriagers Rev Zohn Griffiths, vicar vt Colwyn Rev Meredith J Hughes. vicar of Brynyraaeu and Colonel Saudbaek, afodnnos. The Bishop of St. Asaph said they we*?. aU Soldiers in the gpeat standing army th*t "as perpetually at war with ignorance, and he proposed to study the tactics and Weapons with which their forbears attadfced this constant foe. The two last centuries Would suffice for their researches. To him the eighteenth oesxtniy was hardly legs in teresting than the spacious times of the great Elizabeth. It was a germinating century—seed plot of great idea?. Nowimse --as its interest greater than in Wales, aoci nOWhere had its various developments been recorded in more misleading isolation. The elhteenth century had two characteristics seemingly, but not really contradictory.. Neither in principle nor in practice was there as yet in England the idea of a Astern of popular education. This &p- .Peared all the more 6trazige, because in Prussia, for example, education was com- Pulsory in 1717, and ic most of the small 'German States before the century endel, '^hile Scotland kad its parochial schools, 'Ireland its chartered schools, and the New England States an admirable system of popular education. [n contrast with this lack in England, there was in England d Wales an eager desire for knowledge displayed by all classes, and a still more eer desire for its diffusion. How Was it that in such a century the education of the children was regarded Eg something en- 'tiweij' outside the functions of Government f The English people, while consolidating their newly-acquired liberty, and laying She foundation f°r its further extension, the of Go^rnment to the protection of life and property and the regulation of industry. Popular education Was left to private eifart^represented by the Church, by private individuals, and by ^oluttacy societies. There were among the diocesan records visitation returns from every parish, rural deans'' .returns from 0-Ifery, deanery, and a large mass of other original documents never yet published, but throwing a flood of light upon the Whole of .the eighteenth century in that Part of Wales. An official document in the bandWlitmg of Bishop Griiftbs in 16611 just like the petition from Monmouth- shire and ti>e six South Wales .eountiea— e showed that the same wave of ruin and spoliation had swept over North and South Wales. In 1674 the Archfckshop of Canterbury, sereral other bishops, and Mr Gouge formed a voluntary society for cir- culating Welsh books in Wales, and for establishing and inaintnining Befools in Wales to teach Welsh children to read, Write, and cast accounts. The funeral sermon preached upon the death of Gwuge in 1681 showed that a large number of schools were established, and a vast amount of litcraturediatributed by this organisation. 0 Then arose Sir John Plaillipll, the foremost figure among the promoters of Welsh edu- "I cation in the eighteenth century. In 1700 he directed the attention of the Christian Knowledge Society to Wsies, and for a record of his transeendant services, carried on after his death by his brother-in-law, Griffith Jones, of Llanddowror, the audi- ence were referred to the invaluable mono- Kfaph lately published by the ReN Thomag Sbaalsljind, librarian of Bangor College. fruly it was a refreshing experi?nce to find 1 in Mr Shauklànd a writer who had the courage and the ability to tell the whole truth about the eighteenth century, without keeping an eye on the present controversies and shaping his history accordingly (ap- plause). The movement in which Sir John Phillips took part was enthusiastically Welsh. Circulating and charity schools, lending and circulating libraries were among its chief results. Parochial libraries were largely established ia that diocese, and an Act was passed in the seventh year of Queen Anne for the better preservation of such libraries." In the first b'iU of the eighteenth century there were 69 out of 121 parishes in that diocese where schools had been established. These schools had been established long before the year 1780, a year selected by some for the birth of movements already long ia existence. The clese of the century saw the first impulse to popular education given by the Swiss teacher l'estal^zzi. Seven years later Lancaster, at Southwark, and two years later Bell, began their systems. In these charity sohools religious instruction formed a large part of the teaching. It must be remembered that throughout the eighteenth century there was hardly a parish'in that diocese where the system of catechising on Sunday was not reguiarly maintained daring stated periods of the year. Parents, servants, and children attended these catechising classes. The Press also obtained its liberty, and the educational influence of these changes was great. Dming this time VTsies and her leaders, alien and Anglicised as some of tbeta were then, took their part with England in facing those problems of toler- ation and liberty, and in layiag foundations, upon which much of the best work of the nineteenth century was afterwards csrected (applause). It was a sturdy resolute century, and its character was il £ <ustrate £ by the fact that it gave us the word independent in its tao^Sern acoeptation (applause). When we were inclined 'to &Idge its character it was well to remem- abet:" that vice was advertised Jitther than increased by the candid coarseness of the eighteenth century, as it was concealed rather than diminished by the superficial refinement of a later age (applause). One fact had stamped itself upon his mind from a somewhat prolonged this subject, 1:1 Wales we canonised the wrong people in the eighteenth century, T-ariaing to the nzineteenth century, the bishop reviewed the progress made in education, the necessity of which was realised PJ" the international industrial competition. He showed the objection there was to the gratuitous education that was planed by the Church schools within the reach of the people because the children were taught the catechism. So keen was the feeling that the catechism was not insisted upon in many schools in North Wales, whilst in South Wales this relaxation was almost universal. It was also, 'however evident that the catechism was then taught with- I out explanation in English to children who knew only Welsh, with the result that most of them did not underjtacd a word of what they repeated merely may rote (laughter). The teachers of those days were, with scarcely an exception, persons who had failed at some other calling. Bishop Vowler Short, in ISLAP-, said, *• A superior race of teachers must be prepared for rising generations Bishop Short was an Englishman, and fi £ ahoptofsS& Asaph fotj twenty-six years, although be aever used; for himself a penny of its emoluments. He; was not only the meat far-sighted but thei most generous benefactor of elementary education in Wales :ia. the whole of the last century (applause^. In concluding, the Bishop said: To-day :the State grants Z12,000,000 a year to elementary educa- tion, which we have traced from the days of its penury to those of dtts affluence. Both conditions have their dangers. Wet have probably all known instances of the! best edacation given under (the most an-: promising conditionra. Let as remember that poverty like pereeootion has its blessings and that there is -11 a strength' made perfect in weakness" applause). In an age of great material prosperity we are in danger of making money the measure of all things. We hear of colossal fortunes made by grinding the faces ef the poor competitors, and some of these surplus I millions showered as conscience money upon education. C hope Done of these demoralising gifts will come our way! (applause). Let us also be jjr-st and grate- ful to our poor Delations -who did the pioneer work of education in the past. There is a certain pride and selfishness in picking out only the Aistinguished, ancestor. It is like filing all the honours on the general and forgetting the common, soldier. But in one historical survey of education let us reserve some of our praise, and admiratiou for those humble teachers, ,ill-paid and ill-trained, who did the rough work of education in their day and genera- tion, and now sleep in unremembered tgraves (applause). It is diapossible, I think, to study the records of education in the past without drawing one jaseful lesson for our present-day controversies. It is the habit of our times to blame or praise the Government and the State for this or that change. If the history 'lif the past teaches us anything it teaches us this, that politicians and Governments are merely the instruments of a filing force behind them. Call this force what you ™°' opinion, the spirit of the age, the will ot the people. It may happen sometimes to statesmen and the jjoliticians to be ablo for a while to divee. or delay the progress of this force. bllt "never can they change its direction. Tilevast move- ment which we have been endeavouring to trace supplies an abundant illustration.1 As ws study the evolution of tfeia force in our country we note one reassuring I characteristic. In cases Of (Over aod high temperature there is a homely wisdom which rtrasts less to the drugs of the doctor than the "vis medieatrix LLtura," always powerful in the vigorous frame; and it may be equally wise in times of controversy and ferment to trust less to the nostrum of the political doctor than to the savaeg common sense which has been so wholesome and powerful an inlaecee in building up our constitution (applause). When we began our survey, education was mainly religious, and now it is mainly secular. E should like for the moment to discard both words and to claim &t any rate that education must always be mMnly moral (applause). I believe that we shall all agree that in the ultimate resort the greatness oC a nation depends upon the character of fits people. In the shaping of that character you are master builders (applause). Soue of us believe profoundly that the personal influence of the teacher and the atmospkere which that influence creates, more powerfully effeots the devel- opement of the pupil than any technical knowledge he may gain. When we con- template that influence so unobserved and infinitesimal at auy one moment of its operation, but so conspicuous and infinite ia its results, we are reminded of that temple of which we read, that there was neither hammer nor axe beard in the house while it was in building 1, (applause). If this be true, may we not claim either of other, to be co-workers in one common scheme of education of which the real function is to make tbe truth true to everybody (applause). Mr T P Sykes gave an interesting ad- dress ou "Raforms Needed in Kieaieotary Schools." He described thil eiuoational idorj to b¿ aimed at by the authority and the teachers, who should work for it uni- tedly and loyally, in the following words: Well-buitt, well lighted, roomy, and well- ventilated schools an abundant supply of the best, up-to-date furniture and appara- tus (the tooh with which the teacher works) a full complement of properly- qualified teachers or each ohool; smaller classes, so that individual attention may be given to the children regular attendance up to 14 years of age; and a properly- organised connection between the primary and the secondary school, the technical institute, and the University. Mr J Herbert Roberts, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to Mr Sykes. Ho said it would be a great mistake to create any kind of antagonism between teachers as a class and the public, and especially those of the public who were charged with the administration of the elementary schools. If there was to be progress it must be pro- gress with the teachers and the authority I and the public going hand in hand (ap- plause). But before there could be real progress the question of education must be lifted from the arena of party politics, and whatever their differences might be upon certain aspects cf the question, he hoped that they would all approach the bill of next year determined to do everything tht-t was possible to seeuro a permanent settlement of this long-standing dispute (applause). Alluding to the Bishop's sug- gestion that the wrong people had been canonised in the eighteenth century, Mr ¡ Roberts said he would rather put it that they had hitherto failed! to recognise the services of t great many men whose services really did deserve recognition in the cause i of elementary educatien in Wales in that [ century (cpplause). He joined with the Bishop in the earnest desire to get at the facts with regard to Welsh history. Had not the date come when they should have a worthy history of Wales, based upon his- torical methods of research (applause^? Let them go to the root of kings; let them find out what the historical facts were, and let them bravely and unflinchingly pl&ce them before the public (applause). He had jast returned from Scotland, and he could not help contrasting 'the educational atmos- phere there with that which unhappily existefl in this cosntry. Travelling through a country rough, rugged, and sparsely populated, he saw that the school buildings were-of the finest order. He did not think he h&d ever seen more substantial, more hanCsome buildings than those which he saw in passing along the country roads in Scotland. It did not seem that any question occurred to the mind of the people in Scotland that expenditure upon schools and school buildings was a wasfeo, and that probably explained why the Scottish people had such a large place in British history (applause). It they could -secure greater uniformity and union in regard to educa- tional effort in Wales, if they-could seoure & more effective co-ordination of the grades of eduoation, and if they could secure the fcest brain-anct the beat heartof the nation ta the aervioo of education, a new day would begin for the teaohere and scholars of Wales, and a new chapter would be opened for their beloved land (applause). Colonel Sand bach seconded the motion, vwhich was-oaaried. On the motion oil Mr F H KTones, Moelfre, seconded by Mr C II Wyires, Rhosddu, a resolution was passed calling public at- ,tention to the inadequate staflug of schools, and asking tfcat in large schools the classes -should be reduced in hile in small schools each group of classes should be under a fully-qualified teacher. The Bishop, in putting (the proposition, pointed oat that at Eton there were very '1 often forty..tl"le boys in a olass (laughtec and applause). Replying to a vote of r thanks passed oit t the motion-of the Rey J Edwards, seconded I by Mr J C Davies, the bishop said he agreed with Clr Herbert Roberts that they did wish to see the great question of edu- cation lifted, if possible, oat of the rut of controversy, especially of political contro- versy. He <iid not know whether it was possible or .not. Mr Roberts himself knew; much more about it than ifce (the Bishop) did (laughter,v. He always felt that it was1 a not very hopeful to have matter settled' £ merely by ^partisans (applause). They! wanted the -«ubject to be approached, if' c; possible, in a non-par tisane (laughter aiuS i applause). When partisans came to settle :1 a question be always thought of Plato's { physician who was put on his trial by a confectioner before a jury of children (laughter), jpne need not -be told what thfej verdict was (laughter and applause).
DON'T NEGLECT YOUR SKIN.?'
DON'T NEGLECT YOUR SKIN.?' ZAM-BUK UNEQUALLED AS A -4 "SKIN-CURE. About 80 percent, of prevalent skin disease is duo to neglect, and the regaining 20 per cent, to some v/eakness or infection. The skin, in fact, rules the health. Dr. Dabbs, the well-known medical authority, says: In proportion, as theskin acts well or ill, we are well or sick." The fact that every sguare inch of akin has no fewer than 2,800 pores through which all waste matter, which would be injurious to health if allowed to remain, is expelled,from the body, brings home the truth of Dr. Etaibbs' statement to everyone. The skin, because it has important work to do and is so exposed to injury and disease, deserves far more attention chan most people give it. Often the timely use of Zam-Buk, the well-known healing balm, will avert a nasty attack of eoratna, pceveet festering, allay pain and inflammation, and oemedy other skin troubles which, if neglected, .would only upset the general health. The damp, cold, raw days of Autumn make the ekin harden and crack, and saw the first seeds of skin disease. The skin that is to st&nz,the rigorous strain of an English winter, with ilis bleak, biting winds an shifting temperatures, must itidssd be well cared for to-day, A sedden chill, dirt in a cold-erack, or sudden contact with dwease-germa are all dangereas to your ekio-health, and neglected cuts, sores, chafing or tehaps may lead to festering or blood-poisoaiug. aiug. Zam-Bck is made by a secret and wonderful scientific progress, from rare vegetablt1 juices and aromatic saps, and zontains no fancid animal fat ae mineral poison It is therefore the ideal application far the skin at this season. > Zam-Buk is so refined that it soaks easily through the likm to the seat of disease and exerts a wholesome influence upon the rest of the body. Absolutely pure, soothing, and antiseptic, Zam Buk is recognised as the world's one great and only perfect balm for everyday household use. It is just as in- valuable for cuts, bruises, burns and sprains, as it is for ectea., ulcers, piles, bad legs, festering sores, ringworm, swellings, scalp sores, hidden sores on back or joints, pimples, rashes, chafings, chaps, inflamed and irritable patches, and all diseases of the skia.

FIRE AT ERTHIG, WREXHAM, IN 1788. GENTLEMAN'S MAG. 1738. Tuesday, I-&k Aprit.-A Fire broke out at lie fine Seat of Peter Shacherly, at Wirthing, near Wrexham, in the county of Denbigh, which consumed all the fine Houshold Goods, Picturea, &e valued at £ 12,000.

St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural…
St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council. This Council met on Friday, Mr Bennett Jones presiding. WATER SUPPLY. A letter was read from the Rhyl Council as to the water supply at Llanddulas, asking what the Council were prepared to do with respect to the laying of a new main, and enquiring what would be paid towards the cost. The Clerk said he had communicated with Mr Storr, who urged them to get further details from the Rhyl Council, and he said the Rhyl people were realising the inevitable. That scraping of the main would do some good was not denied, but it would not make a main laid 40 years ago supply a district which it was never intended it should supply when it increased in population. The Ohairman (Mr Bennett Jones) asked if there was plenty of water at Llanddulas, and Mr Cross replied that they had not been short this season, excepting an occasional falling off on the higher land, but if people chose to erect houses on the top of moun- tains they must not expect an expensive supply for their own particular use. He strongly urged the Council to have the main to Llanddulas scraped, and to provide more storage at Llanddulas. But that means they would have something to fall back on in the day time. They had had 40-lb more pressure since one portion of the main was scraped. The Chairman asked whether it would not be better to have a new main, but Mr Cross said he had seen a portion of the old main, and the pipe itself was almost as good as ever, but it was corroded inside. He felt also that Abergele and St George should contribute to any new main. Mr John Roberts: We have plenty of water (laughter). The Clerk suggested the asking for further particulars, and this was agreed to. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. During the consideration of the report of the Medical Officer of Health as to the water supplies for the small districts, the Rev Lodwiok Ellis asked Dr Lloyd Roberts to bear in mind that the supplying of small and scattered districts was different to towns and villages* It was impossible to provide water services everywhere without going to enormous expense, and people had for generations found adequate means of supplying their household with water without going in for expensive schemes. Dr Lloyd Roberts replied that a place like Bettws aud C 'fn wanted water. Ho received plenty of complaints when ha went there. Mr Owen Rees: I have lived in Cefn for many years, and I have never seen the doctor there (laughter). The Chairman asked if a Medical Officer bad the right to inspect the dairies, shippons, and buildings of farmers unless they were reaister&d as purveyors of milk. Dr Lloyd Roberts said that every member of a Sanitary Authority had the right to inspect any plaee, and they could delegate their powers to their officers. The Chairman replied that it was a case where doctors differed. SANATORIUM. The Chairman referred to the recent con- ference at Chester with respect to the establishing of a sanatorium in the county of Denbigh, said that he was glad that the proposal was defeated, and he felt it would have been unfair to have made !he whole county pay for a sanatorium at Wrexham. Mr John Roberts agreed with the Chair- man, and said he wanted to know whether it was right for gentlemen drawing salaries from public authoiities to attend the con- ferenoes and to vote like the elected of the ratepayers. He was told that certain officials had voted at the conferences, and be hoped a stop would be put to it. Gentlemen drawing salaries from the rate- payers should not vote against the persons who had to pay them from the rates. The Clerk replied that only those chosen to act as delegates could vote. DRAINAGE SCHEME. The Clerk reported that the necessary papers had now gone up to the Local Government Board for the Llanfair drain- age scheme, and the official sanction to the borrowing of the money was now expected. As regards the water scheme all was now ready.

St. Asaph Board of Guardians.
St. Asaph Board of Guardians. The fortnightly meeting of this Board was held on Friday, when there were present Mr Edwin Morgan, J.P. (chair- man), Messrs John Roberts, Abergele; Rev Lodwick Ellis, Bettws Messrs R E Griffiths, Bodelwyddan W S Roberts, I J.P., Bodfari; Bennett Jones, Bylchau Owen Rees, Cefn R Jones, Denbigh William Williams, Henllan; M Cross, Llanddulas Thos Salusbury, Llannefydd David Roberts, Llansaunan Robert Jones, Prestatyn Llew B Evans, Rbuddlan S Perks, J.P., G F Gunner, Hugh Edwards, I Batho, Mrs Mary Jones, Rhyl Miss Owen Jones, St Asaph J D Jones, St George and the officials, THE HOUSE. It was reported that there were in the Woikliouse that day 130, as against 136 L, at the corresponding period Last year. el During the fortnight 91 vagrants had been 0 relieved, as against 119 in the correspond- ing period last year. THE TRAMP WARD. The Chairman asked if the tramp ward was filled each evening, and on being informed that there had been several nights when it was not full, he pointed out that the Relieving Officer at St Asaph had presented a number of tickets for lodgings at St Asaph. It seemed that the rule had been forgotten that no tickets were to be issued by the police for lodgings at St Asaph, until the tramp ward was full. The Master stated that the L.G.B. inspector rather objected to bringing married men with their wives and families into the tramp ward, and so tickets wera given ior lodgings elsewhere. The Clerk promised to interview the police at St Asaph on the matter. MIDWIVtGS. A circular letter on the subject of mid- wives was referred to the lady members of the Board. IVCLZEISES OF SALARIES. On the recommendation of the Finance Committee, the Board granted the Matron's Assistant an increase of JS2 lOa in her salary, MrGunner, who moved the adoption of the report, stated that the application was for £ 5, but the Committee thought that X2 10s was sufficient. An. application for an increase by the Industrial Trainer was referred to the Finance Committee. A DENBIGH MAN AND HIS UNCLE. he Clerk explained that certain in- quires were being made concerning a man from Denbigh, who was in arrears with his contributions. His uncle had written to the Board and giving certain informa- C, on, and in his letter said he did not want it treated as confidential. He said :—I am not surprised at his callousness. I would make him pay every penny of arrears with compound interest (laughter). A meaner scoundrel never lived in Denbigh. I hope you will not listen to his whining— ^{laughter)—as be is gifted with that •■complaint. It may appear to be vindictive, but I can assure you I am not, ae he is a regular artful dodger, invariably getting Chold of a parson to teU the tale for him ^(laughter). He has not got the slightest honour he believes in the principle If you do ought for nothvsg do itifor thyself (laughter). I am hopeful of the result, as truth penetrates like -sunshine. We may shut our eyes as closely as we will, but we cannot pursiEade ourselves it ds midnight at noonday (laughter). Thanking you, one and all, hoping all your .Joys are as deep as the ocean, and your sorrows as light as its foam (laughter). Mr Llew Evans.: Is he a journalist ? (laughter). Mr Hugh Edwards No, he must be a poet (loud laughter). Mr Llew Evans-euggested that the man's name be kept secnat, and this was agreed to. CHILD ADOPTI-aN. A working manand his wife appeared before the Board and asked to be allowed; to adopt a seven-year old Jittie girl who had been deserted at birth by her mother.; Tbe Board had made inquiries, and the> result was highly satisfactory. In fact Mr -John Roberts said 'that the fact that the man was a Calvinkstic Methodist and had been well apokeai of was sufficient guarantee for th-e oard (laughter). Several members put questions to the man, •who replied that they had lost a little girl -some years ajo, and wanted this child to rotske her place. When asked what prospect the girl would have if she should earvive the man and his wife, he replied with great earnestness; il am only a; working man, but she will have my all. I The Board decided to allow the child to be adopted, and ia order that there should be nothing in the ifeture to associate her t with the Workhouse it was arranged that the relieving officer should aot visit the residence of the osan and his wife, but that the vicar of the parish be asked to ] occasionally report as to how the child was \i getting on. ii CHILDREN SENT TO SERVICE, j A somewhat heated disenssion took! place as to where a okild should be sent to sesvice. There wece three applicants one from Rhyl, another from Llannefydd, and a third from Tremeirchion. Me John Roberts resented some remarks about sending children to farms, and he said tb&t some members seeiaed to talk as if all farmers were idiots, and did not know ho,.w to bring up children. On a division being takell it was decided by a large majority to -send the child to Rhyl. THE HALF-YEARLY CONTRACTS.

Think a Moment. Do not be scared into fearing that every pain in the back denotes kidney trouble. It is most probably due to Rheumatism or Lumbago and is easily curable by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism frequently affects the kidneys, the secretion becomes scanty, is strongly acid, contains sediment and is of a high colour. These misleading symptoms ¡ soon vanish when j ¡ Rheumatism is driven ¡ from the blood. Dr. WIllIams PlnkPllls act directly on the blood they purify and strengthen it, thus curing Rheuma- tism, Lumbago, Sciatica, and Pains in the Back, as well as Anaemia, and other Blood Disorders. His Rheumatism Cured. Last Winter I was seized with sharp tins across my back, 11 said Mr. William Hodgson, of 27, Water-street, AccringtonJ I could l11ot, in spite of many medicines tried, shake off the ssttack. I fell away, all strength left me and I could not eat. My sufferings grew unbearable and culmi- nated in Acute Rheumatism in my back, legs and feet. I was then persuaded to try Dr. ',U'illiams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I did so, and they completely I cured me. My strength returned. Every ache and pain left me, my back felt easy II and strong and I don't expect ever to'have that weakness or Rheumatism again."
