Lancet, says on August 4th, 1894—"It is an efficient truss for a cure." British Medical Journal, on June 30th, 1894—" It is the most comfortable and secure truss." Medical Times and Hospital Gazette, says— It is a sure protection against further prolapse and cures." Edinburgh Medical Jo«rim< s&ys—" It suits exceedingly well for a radical cure. English Sports says—" It i3 the only truss that can be worn by athletes competing in races, when suffering from rupture. (Lord Kinnaird and Dr. Turner contributed.)

NOTE THE ADDRESS — 5, CANON STREET, ABERDARE. R. J. HEATH & SONS, CARDIFF, PONTYPRIDD, AND LONDON PIANOFORTE & ORGAN MERCHANTS. (From South Wales Daily News, 9th January, 1894.) "YPRDICT OF NIN*E HCSDRED."—Under this title Messrs. R. ,1. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The firm is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here tod well upon its influence and command- ing position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than to certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increasingly numerous, even in the homes of the working classes, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums. The great majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos, and while nlanyof them have reference to most costly instruments, con- taining all the latest improvements, supplied to the well-to-do, the greater number relate to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earn- ing portion of the community. This grownng love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though in the Principality music has for genera- tions been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the most part been choral music in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instrumental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials ha\e been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other nortionsof the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's busiuesscnet hods as well asof theirinstrumcute. K. J. lIEATir~\NI) SONS INVITE INSPECTION. FULL ILLUSTRATED LIST AND VERDICT rOST FREE.
