I SOME PERILS OF VENEREAL I DISEASE. I This announcement is issued by the National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases a responsible body recognised by the Government. President: Rt. Hon Lord Sydenham Vice Presidents The Bishop of Souihwark, Sir Thomas Barlow, Bart K C, V 0, M D Chairman of Propaganda, Sir Malcolm Morris, K, V.CO.. F.R C.S E. General Secretary, Mrs A. C. Gotto, O.B.E Many of those who contract Venereal disease hope that it is nothing" when they first detect the symptoms. They determine to see if it gets any worse" before they go to the doctor. Nothing is more disastrous than this wait and see policy. Those who "wait and see" may well see terrible things. With every hour that goes by the disease, if untreated, gets a firmer srrip on the system. If Sypbihs is allowed to run its course it may end in General Paralysis of the Insane, in Death. r or at the veiy best in appalling disaster to health. If Gonorrhcea is neglected it may become permanent, so that the afflicted person is continuously infective, a misery to spIf, a danger to others. Those who notice suspicious symptoms should at once go to the doctor. False shame is sheer folly. The doctor is not there to blame but to cure. Do not be frightened of going to a doctor, be fright- ened of the disease, because if you put off treatment very grave things will happen.

THE DANGER OF INTERRUPTED I TREATMENT. Those who have been wise enough to take immediate medical advice frequently see so rapid a disappearance of their symptoms that they no longer bother to go to their doctor or their clinic They do not wait to be discharged, they discharge themselves. Sooner or later they pay the penalty of taking the matter into their own hands. Sooner or later the dread symptoms reappear. The patient, there- fore must wait until he gets his discharge from the doctor, but as soon as he does be can feel confident that he is cured. Those who have exposed themselves to the risk of infection, should not wait till symptoms appear, but should at once (within an hour, if possible) consult a doctor for Early (preventive) Treatment. Those ivho are in any doubt or difficulty should write for information and free literature to N.C C V D 81, Avenue Chambers, Southamj ton Row. London, JV. C. I marking your c)i t!elo,e "Medical ————

SENGU ENYDD COMMON HOUNI)-UP." The rounding-up and impounding of ponies on the common of Sengh- enydd in July had its sequel at the Mt-rthyr Conoly Court on Friday, when William Dyer, a collier, tenant- ing a cottage on the common, claimed a right of common pasture on, the Gelligaer Mountain, of which property the Nlarquit3 of Bute was lord of the manor. The defendant to the action was Edward Jenkins, hayward to the marqnis, who, it was stated, was res- ponsible for the round-up." The hearing lesolved itself for the most part into a legal argument. Judge Rowlands found that the cottage in which the plaintiff resided, and which was leased to him by his emplovers, Messrs. Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds, Limited, was built on a part of the common, and therefore it was impos- sible for the plaintiff to claim a right of common in the ordinary sense of the term. A piece of land taken out of a common was not able to support a right of common in the person in possession of it. Dyer bad failed to make out a title and to prove his right, and therefore he (the Judge) was bound to find for the defendant, with the usual costs.

Women Can Be Too UNSELFISH. THERE is urgent need for women .L to think of themselves more. From a health point of view, it isn't good sense to neglect their own aohes and pains whilst mothering everyone else in the home. So many make: this one mistake. Backache, pains in the loins and sides, dizziness and nervousness are early signs of kidney strain, and a woman needs to alter her unselfish ways, or serious kidney, disease may follow. She can safeguard her health by getting more rest, more sleep, more outdoor relaxation. To revive and strengthen the kid- neys use Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. This treatment cleanses the urinary system. Tea, ooffee, and alcohol, if too much used, do not help neither do heavy meals or too much meat. It is easier to prevent than care dropsy, bladder troubles, rheumatism, and serious kidney complaint. Doan's Pills have succeeded certainly, and in many advanced oases, but early treat- ment is always best. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are obtainable at all dealers, or at 2/9 a bottle direct from FOSTER-MCCLBLLAN Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W.l. NOTE.-it i. not enough to limply atle for kidney pills or backache pillt. Aak distinctly for DOAN'S BAGK- AOHE KID" Y PILLS, and Be Sure You Get DOAN'S. PFinM M? ?MitM by o. J. J<?? ?
