BAD BREATH. THE TONGUE IS THE INDEX. Your Breath is Foul. You do not perceive it yourself. You are like a person who is always among the oils and varnishes—you get used to what is to many people a moat obnoxious smoll. It is most disagreeable to those with whom you come in contact. A slight .Headache, a Bad Breath, and a Coated Tongue are the first symptoms of Stomachic Disease. Take time by the forelock and intercept its germination; arrest the germs ere they develop into disease. I am delighted," writes Mr. V. Gordon, 77, Colwick Vale, Colwick, Notts, with the benefit I have derived from Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills and am perfectly satisfied with the result. They are a fine medicine, and I can confidently recommend them to anyone differing from Constipation, Indigestion, and all stomach troubles.

Grand Concert at the Drill Hall, I Merthyr. I On Tcnr-cda? i-ight a grand concert, was J given at the Drill Hall by the Dowlais Male Voice Choir (first-prize winners at the Royal National Eisteddfod held in London last year), conducted by Mr. W. J. Watkins, F.R.C.O., L R.A.M-J assisted by Madame Gleeson-White (soprano), Prima, Donna of the Royal English t Opera Co., Covent Garden, and the famous baritone, Mr. Charles Tree, of the London Symphony Concerts, etc. The hall was filled from front to back with a most appreciative enoe. The concert was opened by the Choir with the chorus, "Song of the North- men" (J. H. Maunders). This was rendered with splendid descriptive power. The Choir was in excellent tone. the voices clear and re- sonant, the parts well balanced, and held ad- mirably in hand by the conductor. The per- formance was a musical treat, which evoked enthusiastic applause. Mr. Chas. Tree followed witfou '*w& SOftg, "Der Doppelganger' tlla. ever popufeif "Nofi^^iu.! pieces o^«vr^fy different character, which enabled Mr. Tree to exhibit i; the wide range of his vocal power and artistic Abilities, and at once'establish a* hold upon the I ^audience. It- if as his first appearance in Mer- -thyr, but jhis magnificent voice, and power- ful, and capable of almost nny effort. produoed a deep impression, and made favourite. He was repeatedly encored, and responded with "I have no Song." Madame Gleeson- Whita came next and sang, "0, Divine Re- deemer" '(Gounod) very artistically, and was loudly applauded. It was not a piece to en- able the artiste to create a strong first impres- sion upon a mixed audience, but she soon found her opportunities in the items that followed, and was"heard with delight. Next, two choruses were rendered by the Choir with ma.g- nifioent expression and precision, "Marching Along" and "Boot and Saxidle," both by Granville :Bantock_ Just at this moment of conflict between the two Houses of Parliament there was an odd mixture of sensations in lis- tening to some of the words of the first chorus— "Hampden to hell, and his obsequies' knell Servo Hazelrig, Fiennes, and young Harry as well." and ♦Then God for King Charles! Pym and his snarls, To the Devil that pricks on such pestilent carles 1" Of course, there was nothing political in the selection of the pieoes, which went with a swing that elicited rapturous encore, and in response, "Boot and Saddle" was repeat- ed Mr. Tree followed with two charm- ing songs, "I knew" ((Guy O'Hardelot) and "Woo thou thy snowflake" (Sullivan)* in both of wlLich his magnilloent voioe and true artistic rendering excited unbounded admiration, and there wa.3 another encore, but 3ao did not re- spond. Madame Gleeson-White followed with an Italian song. which gave her an opportunity to exhibit her really fine voioe, its power, sweetness, and flexibility. She was loudly en- cored, and responded. The choir afterwards gave a beautiful rendering of Mr. Harry Evans's arrangement of "Gwenith Gwvn" and the "Hymn before Action" (Walford Davies), which was sung with a. martial fire and ex- pression that oarried the audience by storm. Part Second was opened by the choir with Ambrose Thomas's lovely descriptive chorus, "The Tyrol," in which they sang with a deli- cacy of feeling in the softer parts, and a power of declamation in the stronger ones that ex- hibited the training of a master hand, and at the conclusion an encore was demanded, and the audienoe would not be denied. The latter portion of the chorus was repeated in the same skilful manner. Madame Gleeeon-White next rendered two songs, "Celia's Harbour" and "Apnl Song,"and was again encored. Mr. Tree followed with "Gray Days," a charming morceau, and "Young Tom 0' Devon," a song which demonstrated that he waa as much at home with humour as with sentiment, and an irresistible encore ensued to which he kindly responded with a. delightfully funny song. Madame Gleeson-White then sang "Because" (Cowen) and "A Birthday" by the same com- poser, and in both strengthened the good im- pression already created. There was an encore to which she responded with "Cherry Ripe." Mr. Tree afterwards sang a humorous song, "Dumbledum Day," and by this time the aud- ience let him know that they were determined to have another encore, and yet another, to both of which he generously responded. We may safely say that Mr. Tree will always bo one of the most welcome^ musical artistes to visit Merthyr. The choir finished the pro- gramme with, a. magnificent rendering of Elgar's grand chorus, "The Reveille, the words being by Bret Harte. It was one of the best con- certs given in Merthyr for a long period, and we heartily congratulate the Male Voice Choir and their talented conductor upon their own splendid contributions to the programme, and the success which crowned the whole entertain- ment. The pianoforte accompaniments for the choruses were played with great taste and skill by that very promising young pianist, Master Arthur P. Hughes, and for the vocalists by Mr. Watkins himself.

WHEN LAMED BY SCIATICA Dr. Williams' Pink Pills made her well. To understand the tortures that can be inflicted by Sciatica one need only note the effects of that malady on Mrs. Annie Billingham, of 49, Burton I' Road, Brixton, S.W, .who states that she was positively crippled by the pain. Some vears ago," she says, I had domestic troubles which completely upset my health, and after suffering tortures with acute headaches and neuralgia, the Sciatica began to afflict me. "At first the Sciatica was felt around my right ankle then it shot up the leg to the hip, the agony being like dozens of hot needles thrust through mv flesh. Warmth made the pains worse, and m bed the ^v^f/Jts'faa^e aSl were being dragged out. "A doctor said that the Sciatica was the result of bloodlessness and a chill on the nerves. I had to remain in bed for several weeks taking medi- cines. I got about for a time, but relapsed and then received treatment at hospital. But did not get rid of my trouble. I really" felt afraid that I never should be cured. ,J .Mrs. EillintJnw (from a Phofo). -?t':t.; One .'day, I .was told to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and when 'l n^nnisAtc. me tirst >. box I felt more cheerful and had gained a little strength.

OBITUARY.—We have to announce the death of Mrs. Jane Jones, wife. of Mr. Stephen Jones ) (Stephanos), 2, Cilsanws Cottages, which took place suddenly and under distressing circum- stances, at the age of 38 years. The deceased lady was an active and much-loved member of the Aubrey" Wesleyan Chapel, where touching references to her dimise were made by the Superintendent Minister (Rev. J. E. Thomas) on the Sunday following.. Her removal is one that the Church can ill afford, for her many good qualities endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. The funeral, which took place at Vaynor, was largely attended. The service at the house was conducted by the Rev. H. 0. Hughes, Merthyr, and Rev. J. F. Griffiths, Cefn; at the church by the Rev. John Davies (Rector) and Rev. D. H. Picton, Vaynor; and at the graveside by the Revs. J. E. Thomas (Treharris), H. O. Hughes and J. F. Griffiths. The chief mourners were Messrs. Stephen Jones (husband), John Roberts (btorher) and D. S. Jones (son). The family received very many letters of condolence, amongst others messages from the Revs. R. Emrys Jones (Penygraig), Thos. Oliver (Ferndale), John Rowlands (Cardiff) and T. J. Pritchard (Pontypridd). ■ ———— '!i'
