THIS invaluable OINTMENT for all external sores has been in general use in all parts of the United Kingdom and the Colonies for several years past, and its healing and soothing properties as a medicament are Mich that the more it is known th" more it is prized by the public of all classes. Thousands of persons have been cured by it who previously had been suffering for years, and also had given up all hope. Though mild it penetrates the pores, expels all gross tumours from the system, and ultimately removes the latent causes of disease. In all kinds of ulcerous wounds it is without a rival. HUMPHREY'S OINTMENT will be found thoroughly efficacious in the following ailments and com- plaints, which it will relieve and cure without fail:-Scorbutic and other Ulcers, Sore Legs, Sore Breasts, Scrofulous Tumours, Burns, Scalds, Sore or Scabby Heads, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, and all inflamed diseases of the Skin. The daily increa-ing demand fully proves its wonderful efficacy. No family should be without a box of Humphrey's Oint- ment. In boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. (3d. each.

GENTLEMEN,—I cmgratulate yoa on having at. tained a most signal victory, and particularly on having acquired it on your own responsibility, by your own exertions, with >ut paid agents, and without election funds. It has been a battle of Principles, and you have nobly and honourably maintained your own views. The consciousness of your own strength, and the approbation of your countrymen throughout Wales, will amply reward y< >u To m it is a matt-r of great pride that I have been associated with you in a strugz e which has had so successful a termination, and I offer you my most sin- cere and grateful thanks for the very high honour which you have done me by returning me as your Representative in Pariiim nt. I desire especially to render my most cordial thanks to those who. within the the last few days, in all the towns and populous districts of the county, accorde I me such enthusiastic receotions and honoure I me with so many ovations. Elected by you to support a Liberal policy, I shall endeavour to further all those great and important measures which are now eogros ing the attention of the public and will toon c'aim that of the legislature. In doing so, a firm and deciied. but at the same time molerate course of action will, I know, be most in union with your sentiments and wishes. I have tha honour to be, gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, D. WILLIAMS. CastIe-Deudraeth, 19th November, 1S63. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARDIGAN. GEN PLEMEN,—I have been requested to offer my- self as a Candid tte for the Representation of Cardiganshire by gentlemen of such various shades of political views, and from so many different districts, that I can no longer hesitate to place my services at your disposal. The Conservatives having determined to disturb the seaf of a gentleman fitted to represent your county, alike by his position, his g-eat personal worth, and molerate views, will, I believe, be the means of inducing all classes to sink minor difference, and prove by their votes that Liberal Cardiganshire will be represented by none other than a Liberal. For many years pas" I have been identified with nearly every Measure of Progress" in Glamorganshire, and the active put which I to, k in assisting to bring about the present Representation of that c lunty is, pei haps, th" best pro f that I cau offer as t,) the sound- ness of my Political Opinions. I have great confidence in the wisdom and integrity of Mr Gladstone, and, if elected your Representative, would give an independent support to a Government formed by him. Holding the views I do upon Religious Equality, I c innot but approve of Mr Gladstone's proposals res- pecting the Irish Church, an 1 feel convinced that the adoption of his policy will strengthen the Church in England and Wales", be conducive to the dignity and welfare of England, and the peace and prosperity of Ireland. Although a staunch Nonconformist, my Candidature is in no way connected with the Liberation Society. Experience has proved that it i.. the duty and interest of England to abstain as far as possible from interference in the internal affairs of other nations. Wi h )ut impairing the efficiency of the Public Service considerable reduc.ions can, I think, be made in our Natio al Expenditure and you may rely upon my active support being given to all well-considered measures of Retrenchment and Ecoromy. County Rates have become such a serious charge, that I feel strongly the necessity for the Establishment of County Finance Boards, thus removing the present anomaly of Taxation without representation. The great question of the Education of the People must be considered oy the New Parliament; and I am not withou- hopes that useful legislation will ba possible without offence to the religious feelings of any class of our fellow countrymen. Cardiganshire now has the inestimable advantage of Railway Communication. This presents facilities for the development of your mineral wealth, which have not hitherto existed, and I trust that my commercial connections may prove of some advantage in furtherance of this branch of your native industry. Having had considerable experience in public business I venture to say that your Local Interests would not suffer in my hands. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, EVAN M. RICHARDS.
