TRY THIS FOR PILES. FORMER SUFFERER GIVES THE SIMPLE PRESCRIPTION RECEIVED FROM A HARLEY STREET SPECIALIST. THIS HAS AVOIDED HUNDREDS OF OPERATIONS. If you are afflicted with such painful debilitating and nerve-racking physical calamities as pl haemorrhoids, pruritus, etc., you not only want relief from them, but you want the relief quickly -not to- morrow, next day, or week after next, j Moreover, the pains and discomfort are not the only things to consider. You must remember that delay in adopting proper treatment ahvaj'S renders the cure more difficult in the end, and in some Gases delay may even prove to be down- right suicidal. When piles de\ clop to a point where tho tissues rupture and bleed- ing results, there is special danger of irt- fection and blood poisoning. To keep the affected parts a sceptic or surgically clean i3 practically impossible. Sacs of pas form and eat their way through walls of the intestine, uniil there is a false passage. Then you have a case of fistula to deal witb, or even tumour, ulcers, cancer, and other compbcations. Many of these are incurable and defy even the best surgical skill, but the simple piles or haemorrhoids from which they develop may bo cured with comparative ease. All you need is a tube of Nemolin, which any chem -t can supply for only 3s 6d, including a special applicator for internal piles. The manu- facturers of this remarkable formula, which was originated by a famous specialist in rectal disorders, guarantee it to stop all aching, itching, and burning within one hour, and to reduce all swelling and in. flammation within six hours. Time re quired for ? complete cure, of course, de- pends upon the severity of tho pil?, but tIn ,Eg action of Nemolin ? extreme- ly rapid, and one tube is u?ua?Iy suEcMOt for the average caM.

TALACRETA TE SOLD. I
TALACRETA TE SOLD. I HISTORIC FLINTSHIRE PROPERTY J « Messrs Dunn, Soman and Covcrdale, of 11, St. Helen's-place. London, announce that they have disposed of the Talacre estate, Flintshire, recently advertised for sale by auction, which will therefore not take place. The estate comprises about 3600 acres, with a very Ene mansion, quar- ries, schools, licensed houses, and the Point of Ayr Collierv, there being a tiontage ot several miles to the Irish Sea and the river Dee. The whole equate comprises the larger part of the villages of Gwespyr and Gronatit, and a portion of Lianasa. The sale was by direction of Captain Sir Pyers G J. Mostyn, the eleventh baronet. The Talacre estato hao been in the hands of the ancient family of Mostyn since the year 1450. It" a.s the site ot a fortified castle in early ages, and possesses many historical features. The mansion, ereoted in 1329 at a reputed cost of £ fG,000, is a fine castellated building, sequestered by woods and pleasure grounds, and approach- ed by four carriage drives. It contains about 40 rooms, and is fitted up with all modern conveniences. A feature of the building is the private chapel, an elegant and lofty structure w ith saexiyty and pri- vate gallery with groined ceiling. It seats 75 porous, and has a private entrance from the western side of the house and a private entrance to the sacristy. The mansion of Talacrc is delightfully situated, and tho park (about 93 acres in extent), pleasure grounds and gardens are a remarkably fine characteristic of the pro- perty. It is interesting to note that under the loase of the Point of Ayr Colliery it is provided Chat a supply of free coal for the mansion, and curtilage is reserved, to bo carted at the expense of the occupier from the pit's mouth. The benefit of this reservation, estimated at 200 tons per an- num, passes to the purchaser. The Talacre Schools, also forming part of the property sodd, were erected in 1857 by the late Sir Pyers and Lady Mostyn at a cost of about £ 7000. Wo understand that the purchaser does not intend to retain the whole estate. I

It had now been decided not to utilise it for tiiat purpose. The question of compensation for the use of the store at I)jiiis lj'ai*ddwy would in due course be referred to the Defence of the Realm Losses Commission, who would no doubt take into consideration any facts that they consid- ered relevant. He understood that certain cottages were taken over, in addition to the thed and that the latter contained boiliu ma- chinery.

WINIFRED'S SCHOOL. The teaching staff of St. Winifred's School gave an entertainment at the School Halt last Saturday in aid of the building fund.

Trie first part of the programme was of a varied character, including a pianoforte solo, songs, duetts, and choru'ses. In the second half the farce "Ice on parlo Franeais," was presented. By now this farce is fairly well worn, but the company of seven ,10 performed it extracted from it all the humour of which it is capable, and kept the audience in a Nlr ?S pri, merry mood. Miss Thomas, as Sprig- gins, did not make the mistake of ex- aggerating the part, and Miss Duggan as "Mra ^priggins," a lady of "aristocratic descent," was excellent. Miss Carter as the vitriolic Capt. Regulis Ra.ttan made things hum, and Miss Sheppard Jones, im- personating the maid of all work, also contributed much to the gaiety of the per- formance. The "Victor Dubois" of Miss Quiggin was a clever performance, and Miss Juet as "Angelina" deserves a word of praise for a restrained impersonation, while Miss James, ar, the wife of Captain Ruttan completed a capital cast. OBITUARY. I MR DAVID GRIFFITH. I The death took place at his residence in Ambrose-streot, of Mr David Griffith. Mr Griffith, who was born near Pwllheli in April, 1828, came to Bangor in 1847. He was a man of sterling character and highly esteemed in the city. He was a great reader and a Bible student, and was a man of enlightened views and gene- rous sympathies. He was one of the most active workers in all branches of religious work in connection with the C.M. church. Deceased was a staunch Liberal and a stalwart supporter of Mr Lloyd George. He leaves two sons and one daughter, the latter being the wife of the Rev. W. J. Owen, Ambrose-street. The funeral, which wa < of a public character, took place-zlt Glanadda on Wed- nesday. A large number of relative* and friends were present. A short service was held at the house, the Rev. H. H. Hughes, Tabernacle, and O. Se'wyn Owe-n, Deganwy, officiating. At the graveside, the Revs. W. H. Lewis, Beaumaris. John Hughes, B.A., B.D., and R. W. Hughes officiated. LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. I COUNTY THEATRE. I Large crowds flocked to the Theatre dur- ing the first half of the week to see an American version of "The Whip." it was a capital iiim. Last night t;c bill topper was "The Ghost of the Ranch," a picture which provides many dramatic isitiiations. It will be starred until to-morrow night. As the title indicates, "Trie Circus of Death," to be presented during tne. first half of next week, will be a "stunt" pic- ture. Those fond of cinema "stunts" and who have become rather blase, should see tlhis picture if they want something to as- tonish them. For the remainder of the week there will be "The Narrow Path," a well-produced drama full of strength and power. Similar types of storios have been seen many times, yet the 6tory possesses that charm, attraction, emotion and ap- peal that goes right to the heart. A Bibii. cal character in the person of Belshazzar is modernised, and tho story brings out an excellent example of a woman's trust- fulness and her unwarranted penalty. Fannie Ward is supported by a cast every member of which is true to type. THE PICTUREDROML. I That favourite star of tne cinema firma- ment, Mi&s Jackie Saunders, appeared on Monday and the two following everungs in "Checkmate." Mary Pickford neid sway last night in "Eagles Mate, a pioturo Wiiich gave her great scope to display her talent. This picture, which, by the way, ia only one in a strong programme will ap- pear until to-morrow evening. The star picture for the first half of next week is "The Triumph of the Weak," lcafr ng Alice Joyce, and tho programme will alo embrace the 12th episode of "The Woman in the Web" and the Rex Beach expedi- tion. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sessue Hayakawa appears in "The Braveet Way." Mr Lee, the proprietor, is still making a feature of funny pictures.

There was a quarrel over the key, but he denied kick- ing or striking her. He would not allow her to return to him.

OBITUARY. I Mil K. W iXS. I The death occurred suddenly on Friday of Mr Evan Evans, county surveyor of Carnarvonshire, in his sixty-lirst year. Early on Friday evening Mr Evans re- turned from Ijondon. where he had spent some days as a witness in the High Court action in which Sir O. M. Edwards is plaintiff. Although it was known that he suffered from heart trouble, he was in his usual health v. hen he retired on Friday night, but in less than an hour afterwards he had away. Mr Evans was a native of Pantyffynnon, near Lla.ndebi. Sotiih Wales, and was ap- pointed surveyor to the Carnarvonshire County Council thirty years ago. Ho proved himself throughout this long period an ideal public official, his duties being discharged with marked efficiency and un- obtrusiveness. His wide experience, com- bined with a most genial disposition, won for him the confidence and the highest esteem of the Council, as woll as his pro- fessional brethren. His services were much in demand as arbitrator and as ex- pert witness in law mit", During his tenure of otiice the surveyor's detriment of the County Council grew in extent and importance, not the least feature of Air Evans's work being the improvement which he effected in the state of the roads. His voluntary- services also proved of the greatest vaUe to the promoters of the Eisteddfod and other national gatherings when held at Carnarvon. Great sympathy is felt with the widow and family in theii sad and sudden be- reavement.
