GWILYM EVANS' i QUININE B ITTER8. > Thousands of patients are now down with In- fluenza. Having observed its ravages and its baneful effects upon the constitution, we cannot but regard its recurrence with special dread, as a great many have not yet, if they ever will, regain their former health. THE DOCTORS SAY G WILYM E VANS, QUININE jglTTERS IS THE BEST REMEDY. The epidemic is again spreading over the country. The visitation is of a very pros- trating nature, and is certainly on the increase. You cannot trifle with Influenza. It under- mines the Nervous System to a greater extent than almost any other disease. As a preventa- tive we know of nothing equal to £ j_WILYM VANS' QUININE JjrTTERS rjlAKEN IN TIME. A few strong doses taken in time have often proved effectual in warding olf attacks of Influenza, and always succeeded in mitigating their severity when a Patient is under their influence. ^FTER THE INFLUENZA. AFTER THE INFLUENZA. It can hardly be doubted that the prevalence of Chest and Lung Complaints must be aacribed to the baneful influence of Influenza, whose aiter-effects so frequently take this form. It is Pneumonia that lulls, and Pneumonia strikes the man who imagines he has only a mild form of influenza. Take in time a course of G"rmym E VANS' QUININE JJITTERg. THE BEST REMEDY. Is invaluable in cases of Weakness, Indigestion, Nervousness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulence, Low Spirits, and Sleeplessness. JJEWARE OF IMITATIONS. No Medicine has had so many imitators as Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, but the Pur- chaser has the remedy against such deceit in his owli hands. Note particularly the name Gwilym Evans" on the Label, on the Stamp, and on the Bottle (a three-fold precaution), without which none are genuine. Refuse all others. GWILYM E VANS' QUININE B ITTRRS.

Abeiravon Auditors. There Will be a contested election for two auditors, borough of Aberavon, on Monday next, this being the first contest for many years past. Three candidates have been nominated, namely, Mr .1. H. Grant, Mr David Ware, accountant (he old auditors), and Mr Sidney John. Excitement and Death.

Cardiff Infirmary. ANNUAL MEETING OF GOVERNORS. The annual meeting of the governors of the Cardiff Infirmary took place on Wednesday in the fine hall of the new out-patient department of the Infirmary. Viscount Tredegar presided, and he was supported on the platform by Major-General H. H. Lee and Colonel Bruce Vaugban. The meeting was of unusual interest, because it practically amounted to a formal opening of the new department and because this was the first occasion for many years that the Infirmary had been aole to accommodate the governors at their annual meeting. Lor-d Tredegar, in his opening remarks, heartily congratulated the governors upon this latest addition to the Infirmary, for this meet- ing was virtually the opening of this building, which seemed to him to be a very commodious, a very attractive, and a very comfortable hall. The Annual Heport. Major-General H. H. Lee, in submitting the annual report, said that during the winter months 33 convalescent patients had been sent to the Porthcawl Rest. During the year the accommodation of the hospital had been fur- ther increased from 181 to 184 beds. ) he in- patients during the year numbered 2 239, and of these 1,241 were discharged cured and con- valescent, 510 relieved or transferred to the out-patient department, 134 left the institution for various reasons, 184 died, and 170 remained at the end of the year. The out-patients numbered 19,654, and there were 39,427 prescriptions dispensed, being 8,353 less than the previous year. The out-patients in 1906 numbered 21,913, and the decrease was due to the department being closed for a period during the rebuilding. The average cost per occupied bed had risen from C63 4s 81d in 1906 to C65 Is lOd lasf year. This was mainly due to the increased price of coal and milk, the latter costing during the year £ 155 more than in 1906. Income and Expenditure. The income amounted to £ 11,485 10s 6d and the expenditure £ 14,190 Is. Whilst the income fell short of the expenditure by nearly Y,3,000 the maintenance of the new wing would involve an additional annual expenditure 0(£4,000, and it was therefore incumbent that the general income of the institution should be increased by £ 7,COO a year. The Hoard of Management hoped this might be achieved after the fund for the new wing was completed. The working expenses last year were JE216 more than in 19C6. No fewer than 221 patients had been accommo- dated during the year in the new ward for women. A fifth resident medical officer had been appointed during the year. In conclu- sion, the Board of Management expressed their sincerest thanks for the services rendered by Colonel Bruce Vaughan in connection with the new out-patient department and the new wing. Proceeding, he said that they had pro- mises of the same active consideration and earnest energy to the improving of the income as had been shown in collecting towards the new wing. (Hear, hear.) Mr J. M. Jennings, in seconding, said that last year they bad received in promises and actual cash over ZO,000, which was a record. It included the contributions towards this splendid addition, towards the new wing, legacies and annual subscriptions, and this large sum had been received in spite of the fact that some sources of income had to be given up for the benefit of the new wing. (Hear, hear.) The report was carried unanimously, and hearty votes of thanks were accorded to the Board of Management for their services during the year, to the honorary medical stan, and to the working men and the collieries of the dis- trict and their representatives for their valu- able contributions, and to all other donors. Mr Evan Owen, J.P., in proposing the latter resolution, said that prejudices against the Infirmary were rapidly dying away, and the colliers were realising their obligations. The collier was not niggardly, and only needed to be guided in matters such as these. (Hear, bear.) Working Men's Contributions. Mr Leo Joseph, in seconding, said that the contributions of the colliers had increased by over £ 400—a very liberal increased contribu- tion—but Cardiff working men seemed to be behindhand, and lie advocated the appoint- ment of a propaganda sub-committee to bring the institution more to the notice of the work- ing men of the city of Cardiff. On the motion of Mr Samuel Fisher, seconded by Mr Knapp, a vote of thanks was accorded to the officers of the Infirmary Sun- day Fund and the clergy and ministers for the collections in aid of the institution, and for their religious services at and visits to the Infirmary. A vote of thanks to the local Press was also passed on the motion of the Rev. W. E. Winks, seconded by Mr W. Jones. Twenty-five governors were then appointed to act on the Board of Management for the ensuing yeax, and Mr Ivor Roberts, F.C.A., was re-elected auditor. Alterations in Rules. The meeting then proceeded to make altera- tions in the rules as recommended at meetings of the Board of Management. Dr. Lynn Thomas, C.B., proposed That the Board of Management be instructed to take into consideration the desirability of re- organising its constitution, on account of the present system being extravagant and un- wieldy." He said that he had no scheme to bring forward, but the matter was a very important one, and ought to be duly con- sidered. He hoped something would be done to reduce the number of the executive body. (Hear, hear.) Mr Williams, Canton, seconded, and the motion was carried. m m On the motion of Dc. T. Wallace, seconded bv the Rev. David Davies, Dinas Powis, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded Viscount Tredegar for presiding. Board of Management. The following were the gentlemen elected on the Board of Management:—S. W. Allen, Andrew Brown, Rev. David Davies, Dr. H. 'n C. Ensor, Lewis L. Fine, R. B. Goodver, Prin. cipal E. H. Griffiths, Rev.

Mrs Organ proceeded and he told me I might go and bust myself." (Laughter). The Stipendiary Oh, come, come Tell us something of his cruelty. Complainant: Oh, he was like that all the time. The Stipendiary: But you have told us nothing yet. Did he strike you ? The defendant: Yes, he took hold of my hair once. The Stipendiary Perhaps he was curling it ? (Laughter). ;The Court was treated to a long harangue by Mrs Organ. The Stipendiary There is nothing in this case. These are only the ordinary episodes of a honeymoon. (Laughter.)

De- fendant said he was a non-smoker, but on the day in question he took two matches from his house to light his lamp. He used one, and forgot all about the other. Mr Harding, the manager, said he had every reason to believe defendant's statement was true, and therefore he did not press the case. Defendant was let off with a fine of 20s inclusive.

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL, CARDIFF.
SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL, CARDIFF. Interesting Report. At the 42nd annual meeting of the Royal Hamadryad Seamen's Hospital Mr John Moore presided over a good attendance. Sir William Thomas Lewis was elected chairman for the en- suing year and Mr John Moore vice-chairman. In presenting the annual report the Execu- tive Committee stated that there had been a large increase in the number of cases treated. which fact spoke for itself as to the growing appreciation of the value of the services ren- dered. Although the income of 4:2,695 was more satisfactory than last year, this sum includes the income from three endowed beds, and the committee express the hope that more generaJ support will be accorded by the shipowners and others-to whom hearty thanks are ac- corded for past assistance. Mr Herbert Whitaker has been appointed secretary in the place of Mr 1. J. Roberts. The balance sheet has been audited by Bruce Cuvilie and Company. It shows receipts of f2,695 during the year, and after the contribution of JE200 to the branch hos- pital, Barry Dock, with expenditure of ES53 on salaries, wages, &c., S674 on provisions. JE161 on drugs and medical sundries, iE265 on fuel, gas, water, &c., ElO8 on repairs, with a num- ber of other items, there remained a balance in hand of P,303, and this, after meeting the ad- verse balance of £ 185 at the beginning of the year, left E121 still in hand. There are sundry creditors for Y,369 still unpaid, and on the other side of the account is a sum of £ 245 due from sundry debtors. Dr. Whelan, the medical officer, said in his report that out of 54 beds there had been as many as 49 occupied at one time during the year, and that the total number of patients treated was 604, the largest number ever treated in one year. The estimated number of out-patients attended during the year was 3,100. The nationality is stated of 574 in- patients of these 191 were British, 54 Nor- wegian, 33 Swedes, 33 Germans, 35 Italians, 25 Spaniards, 18 Greeks, 53 East Indians, and smaller numbers of Russians, Japanese, Chinese, West Africans, Turks, Roumanians, Argentinians, &c.
CHAPELISM IN THE ASCENDANT
CHAPELISM IN THE ASCENDANT ATTRACTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE. Cross Keys Minister's Lament. In connection with the quarterly meetings of the Monmouthshire Baptist Association at i» Hope Church, Oilwero, a confei aifOBj v»- over by the Rev. D. Lewis, Nantyglo, was held on Wednesday. During the discussion on the arrested growth of the cause throughout the county, the Rev. William Evans, Cross Keys, said the low state of religion at the present time was due in a large measure to the ten- dency among the churches to become more and more isolated from one another. At the pre- sent time it was not denominationalism, but chapelism which was in the ascendant, and it was to be regretted. The tendency among the churches was to exhaust talent, genius, and money to invent some passing attraction for the people. He condemned the practice of some churches appealing to Mr Carnegie for money for organs. He would not like to handle any money from that source, as he did not think that Mr Carnegie had any right to become a millionaire. It was decided to call a special conference to consider the whole question. The conference was resumed in the afternoon, when the Education Bill was discussed, a re- port of which appears in another column.
