DEATH OF MR. R. BUGKLANDJ We regret to announce the death, which took place at his residence, Penrliiw, Pentrepoeth, Morriston, early on Wed- nesday morning, of Councillor Richard Buckland. The late gentleman, who was 47 years I of age, had been ailing for the last seven months from acute neuritis, and although, W)me months ago, after a period of con- valcsoence at Llandrindod Wells, a great improvement in health was oonnd?ntiy anticipated, he had a relapse abfyit three weeks ago, and had been sinking gradu- ally until the end came on Wednesday morning. He leaves a widow and four children, and the only son of military age is at present in Salonika. The late Mr. Buckland was a member of an old and very well known Morriston family, being first cousin to Mr. T. J. Williams, 'M.P.. Maesygwernen Hall. Mr. Buckland at an oarly age took a keen interest in Rugby football matters, and it was due to him that the Swansea and I District League owed a large measure of its euocess. His groat capabilities as an organiser in football matters received their due reward when, oome years later, after having acted as auditor to the Welsh Rugby Union, he was unanimously elected to serve on that body. In the last three years prior to the outbreak of hos- tilities Swansea and District Rugby League was at the zenith of its success, and there was no more ardent worker for and enthusiastic supporter of the League than Mr. Buckland. Mr. Buckland ateo took a keen interest in Friendly Society matters, and WM for many years district secretary oi the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds. He was aleo a member of the Independent Order I of Foresters. j

NIXON, of 27, Constantine Road, Colchester, 1 B whose husband is in the Forces, has told of a remarkable cure 1 g achieved by Zam-Buk. She had suffered terribly for months from g painful ulcers, and was so pleased with her cure by Zam-Buk that, H when interviewed by the Essex Standard reporter, she said:— K "You don't know how pleased I am. I cannot speak too highly of Zam-Buk, H and I shall recommend it wherever I RO." U Continuing her story, Mrs. Nixon said :—" I have suffered from varicose veins ? for 12 years, and last September ulcers appeared on my legs. They seemed to ? come all at once. They got as large as a two-shilling piece, then increased until I they became as large as ove-shilhn? pieces. They also got deeper and deeper. B The pain was dreadful, and there was always burning inflammation and discharge. B "For night after night I could get no sleep, and I had to stay indoors for wed: s. B "I tried this and that remedy—everything I could think of. But nothing B that I tried appeared to do the ulcers a bit of good; in fact, some of the 8 remedies seemed to do more harm than good. How I suffered at this time I |jj can hardly ten. gj "After this had gone qn for several months I saw an advertisement r" B mending Zam-Buk, and I sent for a box. I noticed at once, alter the fi?st rJ H dressng, that the treatment began to clean the .sores. I continued using the M remedy, and there was a very great improvement iu every way. The i!7itation disappeared, and Zam-Buk cleansed the sores thoroughly of all bad matter until | | B the discharge ceased altogether, and the holes began to fill up with new skin. | R So pleased was I that I persevered with Zam-Buk until I became perfec?y 1 and, I believe, permanently cured." g ?ave you any Skin Dise2se, Old Sore, or O?sfF?a? i § Woand that has defied a? cffo?s at ?e?F??7 I ? ?o? try Zam-Bak at once, and prove its ?MCF?t.
