DF.AR SIR, -I beg to testify to the value of GWILBI EVA:S' QCINTNE BITTERS, an I think that you cannot )-ec<>mmeud tbem too well. AI tout a fortnight since I lclt my work—I com- menced my illness by feeling starved, and it uasty stinging and shooting pain in my head a doctor was called in, and he said it was Influenza, and 1 suffered foe over a week of the pains in IM'LRENZA my head, and the doctor's medicine did nic no gotxl, till at last the mistress of ANrl this house (I am in lodgings here) fell ill with the same symptoms of illness GENERAL till her huslund advised us to try a bottle of your Bitters. He got a If. id. WEAKNESS, bottle, and I may tell you the first dO>le gave us relief. After this we got a 2s. 9..1. bottle, and now we are all right and 1 am at mv work now, n:id I have no doubt that if I had taken the Bitters at first 1 should have lost no work, and I owe my recovery to the twit-tii-ial virtues of your medicine, aud 1 la-g to tender to you my sincere thanks for producing such a valuable medicine to suffering humanity. I idiall recommend it to all my friends as I cannot speak too highly of it, as it is worth its weight in goki. (Signed) JAMES SAGAR. GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS.

MEKTHYR SCHOOL BOAHD. Friday Present, Alderman Thomas Williams, J.P., presiding, Revs. D. C. Mwards. James Williams, and R. S. Williams. Messrs. David Davies (vice-chairman), C. II. JameH, J.P., Thomas Jenkins, J.P., V. A. Wills, H. E. Gray, Isaac Edwards, Rees Price. and E. Stephens (clerk). This was the last meeting of the present Board. LOANS.—At a meeting of the Finance Committee, the Clerk read R letter from Messrs. Preston aud Company, London, a well-known firm of loan agents, offering to lend the Board sufficient money to pay otf existing loans at a lower interest thau is at present luring paid to tho Public Works Loan Commissioners. Tholotal saving to the Board during tho unexpired tfrut of 29 years of £1,080 10s., or £37 5s. 2d. per year. The particulars of the outstanding loans aro as lolloNk- :-In ek)tintction ivitli the Abercanaid School there is a. luau of £ 1,449 for au unexpired term of 35 year", tho rate of iuterest heing 4i par cent. per annum. Tho rate of interest offered by the above firm was 3i per cent., or I per cent, less than the old rate, which effected a total saving of £ 443 15s. lid. upon the Treharris School there is an outstanding loan of £2,840 for an unexpired term of 26 years at 4 per cent. Tbe new rate was 3g per cent., or g per cent, less than the old rate, which meant a saving of £ 461 10^. upon the A'nerfan School there is an out- standing loan of JB1,557 for an unexpired term of 27 yea" at 4 per cent. The new rate was 3f or t5 less than the old one, aud would result in a saving of £ 262 14s. 10Ad. The total saving shown by these figures would be £1,16ô, and the brokerage upon that sum at 11 per cent. would bo £ 87 10s., leaving a clear ,i:tN e of JC1,030 10s.—It was decided to accept the terms offered subject to the approval of the Education Department. TUB PRICE OF GAS.—Mr. David DAWC* AREW I attentiou to tho reduction of tbo charge for tra.i whieh bad recently been made bv tho Merthyr Gas Company. The charge had been reduced from 3s. 4d. per 1,000 feet to 3?. in the town, and from 3s. 8J. to 3s. 4d. to outsider". Ho had not yet heurd that the Dowlais Gas Company had reduced their price, and ho would propose that the lhard communicate with that com- pany asking them to make a reduction.—Mr. Wills said he would second the motion if Mr. Davies would includo the Merthyr Valo and other Ga* Companies. —Mr. Davies agreed to accept tho suggestion.—Mr. Gray intimated that it would not bo much good to Wile the Merthyr Vale Gas Company to reduce the price.— Mr. Davies Very well then, we shall have I to go in for electric light.—Mr. Gray: You would not find that any cheaper than gas.—The motion was then agreed to. NEW AREA.—Mr. F. T. James, as returning officer for the Suhool Board election, wrote informing tho Board that the portion of Llanfalion which had recently been added to the Merthyr parish, would also form part of the Merthyr School Board district. —The matter was referred to tho School Management Committee. RETIREMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN.—Mr. Thomas Jenkins said they all knew that the Chairman had decided not to sit upon the Board again and h,, felt very sorry to hear it. He and the Chairman badoften differed but they were none the worse friends for that and hu had great pleasure in promising a vote of thanks to Alderman Williams for his long services to the ratejlayers of Merthyr upon the Board. Rev. 11. a A 11 C. Edwards in seconding, said he thought they had I)eeii verv fortunate in having a gentleman of Alder- man Williams's ability and experience to preside over that Board.—Mr. David Davies supported and said he came lather close to their chairman as one of the oldest members of the Board. Alderman Williams had for years been connected with educational work and had formerly been connected with several British Sohools and was one of the fii^t managers of the Tre- cyuon Schools. As chairman of that Board Alder- man Williams had always attended to his duties most faithfully and had advocated the best interest of the childreth Ho deeply regretted that their chairman thought it prudent to retire. —Mr. C. H. James also supported and said he regretted to fiud that Alder- man Williams had decided not to bit upon tho Board again.—Tho Chairman, who appeared deeply affected, sakl lie de-sired to thank them most heartily for tho kind words which had been said of him and the good feeling which had been exhibited towards him. He had been a member of that Board tor 21 years and he thought that the time had now come for him to retire from some of his public duties. He had spent a very pleasant time upon that Board, and in fact he knew of no liettc-r work than that connected with education, He could look bock with plea- sure at the eo-operation and kind sym- pathy shown to him from time to time by the other of the Board. No doubt ho had sometimes used hard words on the impulse of the moment, but he never cherished the slightest ill feeling towards any one. Ho could appreciate the abilities of his fellow members even if tuey did not see eye to eye upon every question. He wished them every pros- perity in tho future and he hoped that a good pro- portion of the old members would be returned at the forthcoming election. THE ATTENDANCE AT DIF. HIGHER GHADE SCHOOL. —The School Attendance Committee met on Feb. 5th, Mr. David Davies presiding. It was recommended that whereas the attendance of scholars at the advanced school is in many cases very unsatisfactory, the master and mistress of the t-chool be ordered to refuse admission to any scholar who is abseut from school more than twice in the calendar mouth without the production of a medical c-ertificato or by special permission from tho Board.—Mr. Wills said ho thought it was very hard to lay down a rule that a parent should pay 2s. 6d. for a medical certificate to prove that a child was ill if a child was only absent more tiian twice in a month. This was what the effect of the recommendation of the committee would be, and he thought they were endeavouring to draw the line a little too tight. —Mr. David Davies said that the children who attended the advanced school In-long4*! to the middle class, and their parents should be treated as anyone else. — Mr. C. H. James said that the committee felt that as the children attending this school had passed the standard of exemption they had no power to summon the parents in cases where tho attendance was it regular, and they were bound to do something to enforce better attendance.—Rev. D. C. Edwards said there were forty attendances in a month, and yet if a child missed twice the committee proposed that that child should be expelled from school, which would be the greatest indignity any boy or girl could suffer.—Mr. Gray said the committee felt that the advanced school was costing the Board a lot of money, and they thought that tho parents- should show their appreciation of the school by send- ing their children mote regularly.—Rev. I>. ('. Euwards This is a public school, and can we refuse j admittance to any child —Mr. C. H. Jame" T think wo can.—Mr. Wills No, we cannot, aud any parent whose child is expelled can take the child to the school ue\t dav and demand that it "haJJ be admitted. —Rev. D. C. "Edwards 1 should advise auy parent who suffer?, to test the right of this Board to deny admit tance to any child.—'The committee then decided to modify their recommendation to three attendances per month, and to ask the Education Department if they had power to refuse admittance to any child.

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IX THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY. Our corpulent readers will be glad to learn how to positively lose two stone in about a mouth, with tbo greatest possible benefit iu health, strength, and muscle, by a comparatively new system. It is a singular paradox that the patient, re'turning -quickly ta to a healthy state, with increased activity of brain, digestive and cither organs, naturally requrrci morn food than hitherto, yet, notwithstanding this, he absolutely loses in weight one or two pounds daily, as the weighing machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion of starvation. It is an undoubted success, and the author, who baa'devoted years of study to the subject, guarantees a noticeable reduction" within tweuty-four houis of commencing the treatment. This is different wdth other diseases, for the patient, in some cases, may go for weeks without being able to test whether the physician has rightly treated him, and may have derived no real or apparent improve- ment in health. Here, we repeat, the author guarantees it in twenty four hours, the scale to be the unerring recorder. The treatment aims at the actual root of obesity, so that the superfluous fat does not return when discontinuing the tieatment. It is perfectly harmless. W e advise our readers to call the Tk attention of "tUllt fnoudw to this, because, fciuccicly, we think they ought to know. For their information we may say that on sending cost of postage (fourpenceV, a reprmt of Press notices from some hundreds of medical and other journals—British and foreign —and 'n'tr-sting particulars, including tho Ixiok (Jjo pages), containing the "recipe," can be had ». iV' I' Woburn House, Store Street, Iiedford Square,Loudon, W.C.

PLYMOUTH CRICKET CLUB. ANNUAL BANQUET. On Thursday evening the members of the above club, together "with a number of friends, assembled together at the Central Hotel, where Mr. Bentley had prepared a capital banquet. In all the guests num- bered about 80. The chair was occupied l>y Mr. T. H. Bailey, *j.r. (president), and the vice-chair ly Mr. E. D. Evaus (vice-president), and amongst tho; present were Dr. Coleclough, Messrs. Tom Nash (captain), Rees Beynou (vice-captain),^ Thomns Browu (cashier, Plymouth Works), D. T. George, David Braddick, William Johnson, A. B Jon", Totii Davies, Tom Powell, W. Biddle, Tom Hordley, W. Dyke, David Joues, W. Nash, David Harris, Ernest Lewis, Edward Baker, Harry Clayton, Isaac Lowe, T. Preece, A. G. Wilson, Charles Bates, A. G. Att- wood, J. Bernasconi, P. 1'. Evans, I. H. Evans (Ship and Hell Brewery), J. T. Docton, William Thomas, — I)avie3 (Mitsters and Co.), Richard Hordley, Morgan Reynolds, 1. Marriott (treasurer), W. J. Clarke (hon sec.), Percy Ward, G. Bates, D. H. Williams, W. Preece, F. Beddoe, T. Edmouds, Howell Thomas, J. Leake, A. Hall, H. V. Coles, Merthyr Ex/trets, and J. 0. Joner, Merthyr Times. Letters of apology for inability to be present were read from the following vice-presidents -.—Colonel Lewis, Mr. Herbert C. Lewis, Dr. C. M..Tones. Messrs. H. Harrap, T. F. Masters (Cardiff), D. W- Joues. and F. T. James. Dinner over, the Chairman submitted" Tho Queen." In the course of his remarks he referred to some criticisms made recently about the expense of maintaining the Royal household. He would remiud them that about four times as much v-fe spent on government in the United States as in this country. The toast was duly honoured. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the even- ing, The Plymouth Cricket Club," said that they had no idea twelve years ago, when thev began to play cricket at Pentrebaeh, that the club would develop into what they saw to-day. They could afford to congratulate themselves on that development, for the benefits accruing from the glorious game of cricket were very great (hear, hear). As an old Cliftoniau, he was grateful to think that the playing of games such as cricket, football, and what they used to call runs," was made compulsory at our public schools, otherwise many shy and reserved lads would have abstained from an exercise which did them much i good in every way (hear, hear). If this country wants to keep its place in the front rank amongst the nations of tho world, our youth must pay attention to the proper development of their physical eonstitu- tion (hear, hear). Looking forward to the coming cricket season, he hoped that a great number of Mer- thyr players would come down t, I avail themselves of the cricket ground at Pentrebaeh. They would always bo heartily welcomed. The ground should certainly be made more use of than at present (hear, hear). He was glad to see that one of their club had been chosen to play in tho county team (applause), He referred to Mr. Hordley (loud applause), lie would impress on all players the neee.-sity of constant practice. That was the only way in which the play would become really beneficial and interesting. He trusted there was a successful season in store for the club, a season of good matches and brilliant eonqlH sts (loud applause). Mr. R. Beynou, in responding to the toast, said he Itholl,lit that the presence of such a large number at that dinner was a proof that they all felt interested in the futuro welfare of the club. Cricket was not so popular in South Wales as football, and the latter game appeared to attract all the attention and sym- pathy of the Celt during the winter, so that when the cricket season eaine round all his enthusiasm had been expended in one pastime. The success of their club was largely due to the generosity of the Plymouth Company and the kindness of Mr. Bailey (lond ap- plause). Last year their batting was extremely good, and he could not he!p referring to the excellent record of otio member (cries of Good old Aneurin '"). Dur- ing last season Mr. A. B. Jones made the highest score ever attained on the Plymouth Ground-81 not out (applause). The best, score of the club was 151 runs for six wickets, which was mado in the match against Llwynpia. With regard to bowling they had been somewhat weak, but he hoped that next season there would be a great improvement in this direction, as Mr. T. Hordley had again taken up his abode in the locality (applause). He was pleased to say that a feeling ot good fellowship prevailed amongst all the members, which, he sincerely hojied, would long cou- tinue. Mr. Clarke also responded, and said that last v^nr 25 matches were on their fixture card, but owing to the wet weather only 16 were played. Of that num- bar they won s°ven, lost five, and two were drawn. The number of runs made in ten matches by Mr. A. B. Jones was 347, or 34"7 runs j>or match (applause). He thought they might confidently look forward to a prosperous season, and he had no doubt the kinduess of Mr. Bailey, to which the success of the club had been largely due, would be continued in the future fanolause). ^appiau-t, Mr. Fred Beddoe then submitted "Tho Town and Trade of Merthj-r" in an able and humorous speech. He said that the prosperity of Mettbyr could be very well gauged by the number of lawyer*, who appeared to be doing well in the town. For many year- they had been talking of theadvantages to be derived from incorporation, and he was pleased to set: that they had a gentleman in tho chair that eveniug who was really tho first mayor of Merthyr (applause). He hoped that in the- near future they would have a veal mayor for the good old town (applause). The Chairman said at that juncture lie wished to congratulate Mr. Beddoe uj>on the appointment of his brother to the important post of house surgeon to Guy's Hospital, London. As a Merthyr boy, Dr. Beddoe had brought credit to the town (applause). Mr. Braddick (Ship Brewery) responded to the toaRt in suitable terms, and referred to such pioneers of Merthyr trade as Mr. Crawshav, Sir J. Guest, and Mr. Anthony Hill. He was glad to see that in tim vice-chairman they had a worthy :,on of Mr. Christmas Evans—(applause)—who was investing his money to sink a pit over the hill, and thus add to the trade of the district (applause). The Chairman proposed a hearty vote of thanks lo Mr. and Mrs. Bentley and their staff of servants fir providing such an excelleut dinner. The firraugc- ments were such as bad given the most complete satis- faction to all. 11 e a^ked Mr. J. O. Junes,of the JAerf/- vr Times, to second the motion. This Mr. Jonea did in a few words, and the vote was carried with acclama- tion. During the evening the proceedings were enlivened with songs excellently rendered by the following gentlemen, Mr. W. Rowlands accompanying- Messrs. R. Scully, W. Jones, I). Jones, D. Jenkins, and — Li-yshon. Mr. J. T. Doctou proposed, and C. Bates seconded, a vote of thanks to the chairman and vice-chairman. The proceedings, which were most enjoyable throughout, were brought to a clo-e by singing the National Anthem.
