He had been on active service in France for about ten months. He was a member of St. Elvan's Church. Mr. Dovey has re- ceived a letter from the commanding officer of the Regiment expressing the sympathy of all ranks. Lieut. Dovey was cut off while attacking a German Eosition, and was lost whilst fighting ve or 6ix Germans on his own with rifle and bayonet. The officer adds: "He had shown up conspicuously dur- ing the previous day, and was un- doubtedly one of our bravest. We ehall all miss him.—G. C. Bennett."

MEMS FROM THE MOUNT. Everybody will agree that the legal gentlemen are not flawless, but 1, for one, do not agree with the disappointed client of a Ponty lawyer, who said he was lawless. Weather you will or weather yon won't, we've had to weather it weather or not. Thus runs tne old saw, and It's perfectly true, for we've had one fine day during the past 3J.

SALONIKA SOLDIER'S SONG. Yes, we have our issue of lime juice, And we get our Bully Beef, And ferro-concrete Biscuits That smash up all our teeth. We get no eggs for breakfast, They send us only shells, We dive into our dug-outs And get laughed at by our pals. Just a tinv hit of bacon— Well, for sport, we call it ham; Four fighting British Tommies To a one pound tin of jam. Sometimes we get some rooty, You civilians call it bread, it ain't as light as feathers And it ain't exactly lead. But we get it down us somehow, And we never send it back, Though it's smothered up with bits of lint That gets rubbed off the sack. The dust blows in our dixies, There's dirt upon our kit, So can you i-eally wonder That a soldier's full of grit. But we are not going to grumble Because we are feeling well and fit, And we have one great consolation That we are doing our little bit. Private H. J. Evans, 1st Batt. Welsh Regt., who has written these verses, is 'now in the firing line at Salonika. He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. William Evans, 20 Cadwaladr Street, Mountain Ash.

BAD LEGS CURED AT HOME Without Rest AND j Without Pain. I A Treatment which permanently cures bad legs without rest, when doctors and I specialists have given the patient up as incurable, even with the aid of rest, is something of a novelty, even in these days of medical marvels. AVe make no apology for drawing the attention of readers of this paper to the work of the National Infirmary for Bad Legs, Great Clowes Street, Brough- ton, Manchester, in view of the alarm- ing increase in the number of of this very painful malady, \raich until now has been thought incurable. Ordinary practitioners as a body are powerless to stay this advance, and unable to do more than tend and re- lieve symptoms, and by means of ab- solute rest to patch up a case for a while until movement breaks down what has been done, and the unfortunate sufferer has to go through it all again.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. The National Infirmary for Bad Legs has for some. years past directed the skill of its staff to the perfection of a treatment in their possession which effects a permanent and lasting cure of this most distressing malady. Success of a gratifying character has, we under- stand. crowned their efforts, and to-day thousands of patients who have been cured by this Treatment testify to the benefits they have received.

WHAT THIS NEW TREATMENT IS. This new method is known as the Tremol method of treating bad legs, and by it the patient is cured without a particle of pain, without a moment's rest, without neglecting work for one single instant, and without the possi- bility of a failure, because this new method permits of no relapse, and the patient is cured to stay cured for all time. But this is not all. Every form of bad leg succumbs to this new treat- ment. Varicose ulcers melt away, and, combined with varicose veins, disappear. Swollen and painful legs become pain- less. Diseased bone comes away. Tubercular bone and ulcers heal up. Inflammation and irritation become things of the past. Why is this? Because Tremol Treat- ment is unlike all other treatments, for it attacks and removes the cause, and if the case is taken in hand-for if it is incurable it will not be accepted-it will be separately and specially pre- scribed for and attended to until the cure is complete. This* no other treat- ment even pretends to do, for in 'other so-callerd treatments the same thing is supplied to everyone alike, and there it ends.

A GREAT ADVANTAGE TO BAD LEG SUFFERERS. The Tremol Treatment has one great advantage over other treatments for bad legs. It can be applied in the sufferer's own home with ease, and with the certainty of obtaining a cure. There are many* different courses of Tremol Treatment, and after the history of each case has been studied, the course most suitable is prescribed, and, if necessary, modified. No matter how far I distant patients may be from the In- firmary, how remote the village they live in. their case is under the con- tinual attention and direct supervision of the staff of the National Infirmary for Bad Legs. This alone places the Tremol Treatment within the reach of all patients, no matter what their financial position may be or where they live. It is also interesting to know that this treatment only takes about ten minutes every other day, or five minutes daily, to apply.

A GENEROUS OFFER. So anxious is the National Infirmary for Bad Legs to extend the knowledge of h\w to cure this dread disease, that, de- spite the heavy demand made upon the time and energy of the staff by their ordinary work, they have authorised us to state that during the next few weeks they will glady see any readers j of this paper who care to call, when they will give them a candid opinion of their case without fee or charge of any kind.

We doubt if one could have spent a more enjoyable evening. Item after item followed with lightning rapidity. Miss Davies -sang with great charm. Mr. C. H. Stephenson, of "Pleased to meet you Company, recited with telling effect. Mr. Jacob Richards never sang better, and Miss Viviex Carter sang "Beautiful Roses" delight- fully. The Brass Quartette, under the conductorship of Mr. W. Greenwood, gave a splendid number, which re- flected great credit on the players. The pictures were most appropriate and interesting, and the splendid orchestra, under the conductorship of Mr. Jenkins, the Empire's Musical Director, was an agreeable surprise, and played some beautiful selections. We must con- gratulate Mr. Victor W. Rowe, on the excellence of the programme, and we are positive that the hospital will be the richer. Mr. Rowe states that he has a lot of willing helpers. Artistes and all concerned are working with one mind for the success of such an excellent cause.
