The whole of the above symptoms are caused by a ?Iuggish and torpid liver, and as a very large number of adult", suffer to a more or IPSS extent from a sluggish liver, it becomes to the public generally a matter of great necessity that ve should know of some medicine which, by removing the cause, will also remove the ellects produced by a slow or torpid liver.

FOOTBALL NOTES. [BY THE DRUID.] What a day Saturday was for football The players on most grounds were like half-drowned rats, while many a spectator is, no doubt, on the sick list this week suffering from rheumatic or some other H atic" resulting from an hour's ex posure to the frowning elements and sloppy grounds on Saturday. The chief match on Saturday was, of course, the Newport v. Cardiff encounter in the Cardiff Arms Park. Unfortunately both teams were minus several regular players. Cardiff entered the arena without R. B. Sweet-Escott (who, rumour says. has definitely decided not to play again on account of ill-health should this prove true, Cardiff will certainly lose one of the best halves that ever danced behind a scrum), and Sid Nicholls while Monk Gould, Charlie Thomas, and George Thcmas, and T. Graham were not able to don the paint for Newport. Contrary to expectation, the Cardiff pack was quite equal to that of the "Black and Ambers in the tight scrums but they were not so agile and clever in the loose. The Cardiff backs had a strong pull, and did excellent defensive work. Swansea journeyed to Manchester to meet the Swinton" Lions." Skipper Bowen and his men were rather confident that honours would lie on their side, but it was not to be. Swansea's pack was simply" not in it" in the loose the Swinton men rushing and dribbling in fine style. But on Monday the All Whites had the satis- faction of defeating OJdham by 3 tries to nil. In this match the Welsh forwards wakened up, and played in fine style while the backs never dis- played better form. The meeting of Neaih and LIanelly at Stradey Park was productive of a fine game, the Tin- platers" winning by 1 try to nil. Neath have certainly experienced very hard lines this season. They have met Aberavon, Cardiff, Swansea. Pen- arth and Llanelly. and have lost every match, and several of them by very small scores. Penarth met Penygraig on the new ground of the Sea-siders." The turf was very sodden, and not at all suited to the tactics of the home men, who largely rely upon their backs. Both teams played in real earnest, and Penarth won by the luckiest of all points-a field goal. Penygraig had the advantage in the forwards, but were not so clever as the home backs. Con- sidering the greasy state of the ball, some good passing was witnessed, and several fine runs were made. Coslett, Morgan, Rowles, Hutchings, and Shepherd played well for Penarth, while the whole of the visiting backs tackled with great de- termination. Matthews, Brown, Edgington, and Millward were the pick of the Penarth pack, while Evans, Davies, and Phillips shone for Penygraig. Penarth A team journeyed to Sudbrook, and played a drawn game—one try each. Charles Kirby and Tom Brown showed good form for Penarth. To-morrow and Saturday the Scarlet-runners visit Penarth, and a grand game may be expected. My fancies lie with the" Sea-siders," who should win comfortably if the ground is dry but should the turf be in as bad a state as it was on Satur- day last, the result will be a very close affair. 1 Maritime did splendidly against Skewen, and so far have won every match. My firm opinion is that teams much stronger than Skewen would find the Colliers a hard nut to crack. They are essentially a "forward" team, and have a pack quite equal to some of the so-called premiers. Their backs need a little more combination and experience to render the team one of the best in the Principality. Skewen, although beaten by 2 goals and 5 tries to nil, never lost heart and played pluckily until hostilities ceased. Bridgend journeyed to Port Talbot determined to do or die." This determination caused them to play with cemmendable dash and to return with an untarnished certificate was certainly a very creditable performance. It goes without saying that the game was hotly contested, each side storming the forts in turn. But, owing to fine defensive playing, no major point was scored. Bridgend were placed at a great disadvantage by having their skipper Emery injured early in the game and although he was not rendered hors de combat, he was not able to infuse the usual amount of dash into his play. The Bridgend backs need a little more combination, and the halves should not neglect to feed their three-quarters. During the last four years athletics have ad- vanced by leaps and bounds in the Ogmore Valley, and the match on Saturday last with Tondu was certainly a very good display of football. The Valley men are a strong lot, dribble and rush well, and at times wheel to great advantage. It was the Tondu backs who won the match. They are faster, End show better combination than the Ogmore men still they are a long way from perfect in their passing, and suffer considerably in compari- son to such teams as Cardiff, Penarth, &c. The best man for the Ogmore was Davies, who was ever to the fore, and whose dash was an example to the whole team. For Tondu Jones, Rees, Sullivan, Thomas, and H. Williams were,the shining lights. A. H. Williams, who is now playing for Tondu, played several matches with the Penarth team last season, and although not considered a first team man, he was looked upon as the first reserve. He is a good forward when in form, has plenty of weight and dash, and can tackle. He is also good at half, and at one time played in that position for Monmouth. Had he stayed in Penarth, no doubt he would this season have been included in the list I of regular players. Just a word of advice to football teams ill genera', and to Tondu and Ogmore in particular. More play and less ja.w I am informed by one n-ho was present that the chatter, chatter, on Saturday was disgusting. In future please restrain your verbosity. On Thursday, last week, Pontypridd gained a substantial victory over the Merthyr team by 3 !,OLI.ls (1 dropped) and 2 tries to nil. On Saturday the same team romped round Caer- philly to the time of 1 goal and 5 tries to nil. The jame was fought under very great difficulty, as he ground was a veritable swamp. Tiley played i champion game, and was a rare example to the sther backs. Christmas Jones displayed improved 'orm, and. in fact, the whole team played with far nore energy than has characterised their play of ilte. Barry and Cadoxton District allowed the Taff Vale Wanderers to run up a score of 4 tries to 1. 3otne. Secretary Nelrnes, this is bad form. Unless ;he District team go into strict training and turn .ip for the matches, I am afraid their "result" list it the end of the season will be one-well, not to 3e very proud of. There is some good material in :he team, and, with careful handling, I don't see vhy the combination should not be a successful )ne. SEASON 1891-92.

PENCOED NOTES. [BY ROVER.] ST. CRISPIN'S DAY. The 25th of October is the saturnalia of the shoemakers, of whom St. Crispin is the titular saint. Crispin and Crispianus, two brothers, were jJ0™ Rome. W hen they had attained to man- hood they travelled to Soissons in France about the year 303 in order to propagate Christianity- Being desirous of maintaining themselves by their own industry, they earned their subsistence by bjioem:u-:ing, until it was discovered that they had embraced the Christian faith, and were endeavour- ing to make proselytes of the inhabitants, when the governor of the town immediately ordered them to be beheaded. This was in the year 308, and from this time the shoemakers chose St. Crispin for their patron saint. Years ago it was customary for the shoemakers of this neighbour- hood, and their name was thsn legion, to meet at Pencoed on St. Crispin's Day to choose a king for the ensuing year from among themselves, and they celebrated the event by a regular blowing out." I should not be sorry to see this custom revived. and should it be revived our good friend William John is ready to accept the sceptre. VERY UNGALLANT. Truly, tlm age of chivalry is over. Time there was when the cuward who would seek to blame the gentler sex in order to screen himself would be kicked, and hounded from one end of the country to the other, but alas we are living ia degenerating times, and cowards escape scot free On a recent Sunday a small chapel, or, to be particular, a Sunday Schoolroom, near Pcncoed, was visited by a choir from a neighbouring village. The conductor asked his choir to stand up to give a rendering of some tune. A fair start was made, but the conductor blundered, and his blundering led the choir woe- fully astray. Now, had the episode ended there, it would not have been worth chronicling, but, gentle reader, here comes the rub. The would-be con- ductor flew into a mighty rage, and in outrageous terms blackguarded and bullied the fair members of his choir. Even had they blundered, one woLLIa think that charity would have covered a multitude of their sins. but no such thing in the case. It is one consolation to know that the celebrated co»' ductor had to do the lion's part of the remainder of the singing himself, and it is said that passers- by mistcok the singing for the blowing of noses, sO nasal it was. ° HE TRIED AGAIN. Bra.vo tie King cried out, All honour to those who try The spider up there defied despair— He conquered; and why shouldn't I ?" I believe the above were the words which occurred on Sunday night week to a friend of mine wbo visits Pencoed weekly with the laudable object of seeing the fair lady of his heart. He arrived the usual time at the trysting place to receive bis y fair one on her way home from chapel. He waited long and patiently, but the fair one turned not up, and my hero, therefore, went on towards the chapel. He gave two young brats a halfpenny each for going into tl e singing- school to see i* his fair one was there. They performed thei1^ mission faithfully, but, alas had to return with the unwelcomed report that she was nO there, but that she had been 3een at a certain flirting with another. My friends then rued those halfpence and wept bitterly and to me 110 scene is more heartrending that that of a stalwar young man crying like a child. However, if i*1? fiiend wept, like Bruce, he despaired not, bu^ forthwith resolved to come again the following night, in the hope that he. would then catch the object of his love. The next night he came mounted on a spirited steed, accompanied by 1.\Vo dogs, and I am glad to add that night he con- quered. The erring young lady confessed her sin-? and, what is better still, she repented, and, by of doing penance, she volunteered to wash the legf of her young man's steed for," said she, h»d it not been for my unfaithfulness last night would not been necessary for your animal to his legs to-night." THE SITUATION AT COITY. Cawciss v Coity are bidding fair for famp, and they are on the road to attain it. War has been declared between them and the School Board, and the parents of ninety of the children declare that those ninety shall not darken the door of Board School till the late master will have re-installed. Mr. Peters has opened another school, and already all the necessary apparac13? has been provided. The committee have fulfil^ all the required conditions, and in a short time Lords in London will certify the school as an efb' cient one. In this part of the country the case 13 unique, and it is watched with interest by a number of people outside the parish. In struggles my sympathy runs with the losing I cannot, therefore, help pitying the Board in the1* present plight, but it cannot be denied thot thef have stultified themselves. It is not, howeve £ too late for them to redeem their reputation the parishioners. Instead of retiring months hence, let them do so now and seek re' election.

LLANT'WIT-MA JOE NOTTS' This month in our neighbourhood seems to be given to harvest thanksgivings and anniversatlet: The Independent friends held their annual ings last week, and the Baptist friends this wee*' while for the remainder of the month nearly every night will be given over to harvest festivals by different places of worship in the district. ™ amount of the collections of Bethesda is in striking contrast with the offertories at our Parish Church- While £ 6 were collected at Bethesda during services last week. The offertories at the Paris^ Church for the year ending last Easter did n<^ amount to twelve pounds, and this with a a the church s wealth and influence is the extent 0 her charity for one year.
