Burning Tragedy at Rhyl.
Burning Tragedy at Rhyl. ANOTHER FLANNELETTE VICTIM. WOIIAN" BRAVERY COMMENDED WHERE FIRE CUARDS ARE A RARITY. Another distressing tragedy, necessitating the holding of a fourth inquest in the district within a week, occurred at Rhyl last Friday, when William Morgan, the five-year-old son of Mr John Morgan, carter, 28 Ernest Street, succumbed to a burning accident. The child, it appears, came downstairs at about 8 a m. in a flannelette nightshirt, and was having his breakfast in the charge of his eight-year-old sister, Sarah Ellen, when his mother went out to do some shopping. Soon after Mrs Morgan had gone out the little girl went upstairs and in her absence the little boy's nightshirt in some way or other caught fire. Hearing her brother's screams, the girl hurried downstairs and both rushed into the yard to a neighbour's. The wind made matters worse for the little boy, but notwithstanding his being enveloped in flames he was pluckily seized by Mrs Parry, 24 Ernest Street, who at great risk to herself pulled off the burning clothing and afterwards dressed the child's injuries with sweet oil. The case was regarded as a very grave one from the first, and the child died a few hour s after his admittance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, where he was attended by Dr G F R Smith. An inquest in connection with the sad occurrence was held by Mr J Roberts Jones, deputy coroner for Flintshire, in the Rhyl Council Chamber on Saturday afternoon, when some pathetic circumstances were disclosed. The proceedings were watched by Inspector James. N.S.P.C.C. The jury consisted of Messrs Fred Wallis (foreman), E Angel, T R Williams, Edward Morris, C F Wilders, Ernest Jones, T Wills Jones, Percy Johnson, F Goldstraw, H Francis, Richard Jones, E B Bellis, Thomas Lewis, Zachariah Price, F J Teviotdale, and P L Chilwell. Evidence of identification was given by P. S. Patrick Dempsey, neither of the parents of the child having seen the body since death. The little girl Sarah Ellen Morgan, the eight-yeaf-old sister of deceased, was called, in the hope that she might be able to throw some light upon the accident. But although inter- rogated by the Coroner in both English and Welsh, she did not appear to appreciate the situation, and seemed too shy to answer any question. Mrs Ellen Parry, 24 Ernest Street, stated that at about 9 10 on Friday morning she saw deceased running towards the back door of her house all in flames and screaming 44 Ellen Parry Ellen Parry I" He was followed by his sister Sarah Ellen, but the latter seemed very con- fused with regard to what had happened. Witness tore off what remained of the little boy's burning clothes, and in so doing burnt her fingers. She then applied sweet oil to the child's body, that being the only thing nearest to her which was likely to give the child any relief. The Coroner—I don't think you could have got a better thing. Witness, continuing, said she used a pint of oil on the child's body. He did not scream or make any complaint at all after the flames had been extinguished. All that he said was to ask witness for a banana which she had promised him the night before. He seemed quite unconscious of any pain. Recognising the seriousness of the case, witness sent for the child's father, who bad gone to his work, and Dr Smith was also sent for. Having wrapped the child in a blanket, she carried him to his home, and from there he was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital. When she saw deceased in flames all that he appeared to have on was a flannelette nightgown, as though he had just come from bed. She understood that he had fallen in some water the night before, and that he had been kept in bed a little longer because his clothes were not ready for him. When she took the child home she found hardly any fire in the kitchen. There was no guard before the fire, although the child's parents had previously had one. There was just a low fender and an iron stool in front of the fire. A juror (Captain Wilders) asked witness whether she could give them any idea as to how the child was set on fire. Witness replied that she thought that deceased on coming downstairs went and stood with his back to the fire, as he was very fond of doing. The Coroner-You have seen him doing that, have you ? Witness-Yes. Evidence was next given by the deceased child's mother, who appeared with an infant in her arms and seemed very distressed. She stated that on leaving home to do some shop- ping at about nine o'clock on Friday morning she left deceased, who was five years of age in March last, and his sister Sarah Ellen, aged eight years, having their breakfast in the kitchen. The kitchen fire at the time was very dull-there was hardly any at all, as it was not witness' practice to have big fires at any time. She had never seen deceased playing with fire or matches. His life was not insured. On Thursday night he fell into some water, with the result that he had to stay in bed longer than usual on Friday uutil she got his clothes ready for him again. She bad not time to dress him before she went out, and as he had begged not to be sent to school, he sat at breakfast in a flannelette nightgown. She had not been away ten minutes when she heard about the child being on fire, and she would have gone to him at once, but owing to her excitement and distress at hearing the news she was detained in a shop for ten or fifteen minutes. On her arrival at home she found deceased pillowed on two chairs, his burns having by that time been dressed by the last witness. Deceased was able to call her "mam and to speak about his father, but he did not eay how his nightgown caught fire, and she could not think how it happened. =A juror (Mr Johnson)—Was it not an elder brother's nightshirt that the child was wear- ing ? Witness—Yes, but although it was rather too big for him he could walk in it all right. Further questioned by the same juror, witness replied that she left deceased and hia sister Sarah Ellen at the kitchen table and not by the fireside. She had not head that either of the children poked the fire, or that a cinder fell on to deceased's nightshirt. The Coroner-Do you know that there is a law with regard to fireguards ? Witness-We had a fireguard some years ago, but the children are growing up now. The Coroner—That is not answoring my question. Witness—The children are getting big now. The Coroner—Do you know that there is a law requiring you to provide a fireguard to pro- tect your children from fire 1 Witness Yes. Dr G F R Smith stated that he received information with regard to the accident at about 9-30 on Friday morning, and at once cycled to 28 Ernest Street, where he found that very efficient first aid had been rendered by Mrs Ellen Parry. He ordered the child's removal to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, and there he found that the whole body, back and front, was burnt. The groin and the inner sides of both thighs and the outer sides of both arms, and especially the hands, were scorched. Despite every attention obtainable in the hospital, the child died from shock at about 2-30 on Friday afternoon. Witness added that he was surprised that there were not more cases of that kind in Rhyl. It was a rarity to find a fireguard on the other side of the railway. The foreman of the jury-Is it the duty of the police or the inspector of the N.S.P.O.C. to see that fireguards are provided ? The Ceroner—That is not a matter for the witness. I will tell you later on what I can on that point. Sergeant Dempsey, in answer to a question, said that, from what he was able to gather from the little girl present in court, she was upstairs when the accident happened and rushed down on hearing her brother's screams. When she went upstairs he was sitting on a low stool by the fire. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, said they had again to reckon with that dan- gerous material flannelette, but there was nothing in the evidence before them to show that there was any criminal neglect on the part of the child's parents. A part of the Children Act provided for heavy penalties in cases where life was endangered or lost, and if the parents in this case had bioken the law another court would deal with the matter. The evidence clearly pointed to accidental death from burning, but it was open to the jury to add a rider to their verdict calling the attention of the police to the matter. He had been very much impressed by the way in which Mrs Parry had given her evidence (hear, hear). The doctor had testified that the aid she rendered was per- fectly efficient, and he thought she deserved great commendation (hear, hear). The jury, after a few moments' private deliberation, returned a verdict of death from shock caused by accidental burning. At the same time they wished to compliment Mrs Parry upon what she had done in connection with the sad affair. The Coroner, calling Mra Parry forward, said he heartily endorsed the jury's reference to her services, and on behalf of the court and the town he thanked her. Mrs Parry briefly acknowledged the tribute,
Wild Flowers of the Rhyl District.
Wild Flowers of the Rhyl District. This week we propose to gather another bunch of wild flowers, and will begin with the Order Fumariacem. The fumitory ifumaria pallidflora) has numerous cream-coloured tubular flowers tipped with purple, growing on a spike, while its sea-green leaves are divided into slender segments. The old name, fume-de-terre, which the Normans probably brought into this land, and of which our modern name is a corruption, has been thought to have arisen from the look of thin vapour which theee delicate sea-green leaves give to a spot where they abound. In Queen Elizabeth's time the name had only eo far wandered from the original as to be called fumiterre, and the plant was then, as now, a common cosmetic in villages, the flowers being bruised and boiled in milk. Another inter- esting plant is the shepherd's needle (scandix pecten). Several species of umbelliferous plants are conspicuous among the corn at various seasons of its growth. We could seldom enter a corn land in spring without seeing a plant which would attract our notice by its very long pointed seed vessels growing in a cluster, 81me of them 8013 long as a lady's finger and which seem out of all pre- portion to the tiny white bunch of flowers and are sharpened at the point, eo that the names of this plant, Venus's comb and shepherd's needle, are appropriate. They grow four, five or more to- gether on a roughiah stam about half a foot high the leaves are cut into many fine segments. Among the Order Composite we fiud the hawkweed (hier- acium). These are very like the dandelion, but never so large and io some cases very small. They are a very large family, and very puzzling to the botanist from the minute characteristics which often distinguish the species. Common groundsel (eenecio vulgaris), with its yellow flowers, grows not alone on every waste place, but is very trouble- some by the abundance of its feathered seeds. Autumnal hawkbit (leontodon autumnalis). These starry yellow flowers grow in pasture land and have the Greek name apargia, from the words "from" and" idlencss," because their prevalence was owing to the idleness of the cultivator. The long flower-caps of the hawkbits are covered with black hairy scales overlapping each other. In the meadow we shall also find the great white ox eye (chrysanthemum leucanthemum), with its white ray and involute tracts with narrow membrane. ous margins, and occasionally on the banks the golden-red (solidago virga-aurea). The leaves are elliptical lanceolate, the upper ones being narrower than the lower. The flowers are arranged in panicled racemes. Before leaving the meadow we can gather the white Dutch clover (trifolium repens), the common purple clover (trifolium pratense) and yellow clover (Trifolium minus), while on the hedges we find the rough podded purple vetch (vicia bithynica), all of which belong to the Order LeguminosjE. We also find on the hedge3 the white trailing rose (Rosa arvensio) and the meadowsweet (spiraea ulmaria) belonging to the Order Rosacea, and the honey- suckle (lonicera periclymenum) boloDgiDg to the Order Caprifoliaccse, together with the common cleavers or goosegrass (galium aparine) with their straggling stems, lanceolate leaves, keeled and rough, with reflected prickles. The fruit is covered with hooked bristles. This plant goes by the name of catch-weed and scratch-weed and is locally known as sweethearts. Everyone knows how tena- ciously it clings by means of the many bristles on both its leaves and stems. Its whcrls of leaves and tiny white flowers are to ba seen everywhere during the Eummer, while its little globular bristly seed-coverings cling to everything they come in contact with. In the same Order Rubiaccre we have the sweet smelling woodruff (asperula ordorata). Another interesting and somewhat uncommon flower found in these meadows and on the wayside is the spotted palmate orchis (orchis maculata) belonging to the Order Orchidaceic. Oa the borders of the stream in wet places we find the yellow iris or flag (iris pseudacorua) which is now in fruit, and belongs to the Order Iridacere. In the same plae we can gather the myosotis or scorpion grass, the water scorpion grass or forget-me-not (myosotis palustris), the tufted water scorpion grass (myosotis emspitosa) belonging to the oider Boraginactw, together with the common watercress (nasturtium officinale), which belongs to the order Cruciferas. Closely along the hedgebanks we find the common speed- well (veronica officinalis) and also the Germander speedwell (veronica chamiedrys) belonging to the order Scrcphulariac(»3, and on the hedge the great bindweed with i:s beautiful white flowers (convol- vulus s-pium), and the small bindweed with its pink flowers (convolvulus arvensis), both belonging to the order Convo'vulsc;;c. There are two climbing plants termed bryony, but very distinct from each other and both easy of description. Except in their climbing habit and their noxious juices, they are not very similar, but both are so graceful that we should be sorry to miss either from woods and hedges. Early in May we sea wreaths three or four feet long hanging in festoons amonng the trees and covered with glossy dark green heart-shaped leaves from among which droop strings of little green flowers. In autumn, when these leaves are filst purplish colour and finally bright yellow, clusters of green oval berries appear and they look more like grapes than any other of our native berries, until the month of October, by which time they have become of bright orange-red. This plant is the black bryony (tamus communis), being so called from its black powerfully acrid root. It has also been called our lady's seal. The black bryony belongs to the Order Dioscoreacece. The red berritd bryony (bryonia divoioa) climbs among boughs, not alone by wiuding stems, but) by the green coiling tendrils upon them. The loaves are large, the size and somewhat the form of the leaves of the grape vine, henco the plant is commonly called the wild vine. Nevertheless the leaves are veiy rough on both sides and when fully grown are of deep full green. The flowers are white with green veins and grow in clusters of throo or four. The scarlet berries may be known by their perfect roundness of form, and although not glossy, they are very beautiful.
The Question of Health.
The Question of Health. There is an old saying, A stitch in time saves nine," and if upon the first symptoms of anything being wrong with our health we were to resort to some simple, but proper, means of correcting the mischief, nine-tenths of the suffering that invades our homes would be avoided. The body is a machine full of intricate and delicate mechanism, II and when one part is impeded it gradually throws the whole out of gear unless it is quickly put right. A cold, a chill, a touch of indigestion or liver complaint, a pain in the loins or the little

Women's Gossip.
Women's Gossip. The Prince of Wales. The popular and familiar title of Prince of Wales has not been long in abeyance. Eight months elapsed between the accession of King Edward and the bestowal of the title on the present King, then Duke of York. Prince Edward has not had so long to wait before having the title renewed in his favour, and he will be welcomed by the public in his new name, not only because of its historic traditions, but in the firm belief that the "sailor-boy" Prince will shew himselt worthy of the splendid destiny that awaits him. Like the present King, he is being trained for the serious busi- ness of life in the Royal Navy, and by becom- ing Prince of Wales he begins to say "good bye to boyhood. There have been eighteen Princes of Wales since the title was first created in 1301, and, according to some historians, ono Princess of Wales in her own right, the eldest daughter of Henry VIII, afterwards Queen Mary. Prince Edward bears the same name as the Patron Saint of Wales, David, by which he is known in his family circle. The New Coinage. A new reign brings A new coinage, as well as a new design in postage stamps, and in both respects there is plenty of room for improve- ment on the commonplace productions of King Edward's monarchy. Much of the Victorian coinage was worse. Some of the silver pieces bore no mark or statement of value upon them, a most absurd anomaly, and when the youthful head of Queen Victoria was abandoned there followed the hopelessly inartistic coinage of 1887, representing the Queen with a top-heavy crown poised on a widow's veil. It may be said that these are minor matters, and in one sense they are, because not one parson in a hundred could describe the lettering and design of any of the coins they handle every day, and probably not one man in ten could tell without going to their purse whether the head looks to the right or to the lefc. That is a detail which changes with every reign, and in the new coin- age which Mr Bertram Mackennal has been appointed to design and model King George will look to the left, as did the head of Queen Victoria. Country Outings for Working Girls. As a rule the lives of the working girls of London and the great industrial cities are very grey and monotonous, and any efforts in the direction of affording them a country cutiag merit, in general, the liberal support of the pub- lie. Such an opportunity is afforded.to well-to-do people with country gardens, within a short distance of the factory towns, in entertaining small parties of working class girls to tea and outdoor games on the Saturday afternoons. An appeal to this effect is being made to residents who possess the requisite grounds within ten or fifteen miles of London, but not only in the metropolis, but in all the manu- facturing districts there is this opportunity of affording a little health-giving pleasure to those who spend their lives under the shadow of the factory chimneys. Quick-Change Crazes. There is some speculation as to what particu- lar sport or craze will next attract the quick- passing fancy of pleasure-loving people. The roller-skating fever, which last winter swept over the countryi has already exhausted itself, and that recreation is going the way of ping- pong, diabolo, and other crazes, which from time to time secure a transitory hold upon public favour. A new generation will have to grow up before the rinking craze is revived, but something or other will have to take its place. The pleasure-loving world could not go on for long without a new sensation,and although there is no telling what form it will take, we may be sure that it will not be long before some new wonder in the way of amusement is lauoch3d upon us. Concerning Headgear. Wearers of all-black hatd would do well to bear in mind the fact that to prove becoming the brim must be transparent. Anything more hideous than the heavy black straws vast numbers of women have been donning during the past fews weeks would indeed be difficult to discover, but transparent creations, which allow the sunshine to play hide and seek with the eyes, bringing out the colour and giving wondrous play to their expression, belong to a difierent sphere altogether. And the less trim- med such headgear is, the better-just a plume or two, or a shower of blooms, or a huge rosette of net or tulle, touched with fine jot, is all- sufficient. The Professional Packer. The advantages of being a tidy person are never more in evidence than when packing for the holidays. That task is never altogether free from personal trouble and bother, unless one is a duchess or a millionairess, and able to leave such matters to competent maids, but it is half the battle when everything is in a normal state of readiness to go from drawer or wardrobe into trunk or handbag. The untidy person is always the most incompetent of pack- ers, and when this job ends in a confession of failure and muddle the nuisance and discom- t fort often extend throughout the entire house- 1 hold. It suggests a new occupation for women —that of a skilled and experienced packer, who 3 can be called in to undertake this duty. In America many hotels keep professional packers I on the staff, and a similar experiment might be triedlin this country, at any rate at the leading hotels, if not for private service.

Some Details of the Chester Historical Pageant. Dancing is to contribute a large share towards the success of the coming Chester Pageant. For many weeks Mrs McLellan has been busily engaged in teaching both great and small terpsichorian mysteries, from which she has evolved many specialities. In the introduction the representation of the Dee uives an excellent reason for dancing, for the banks of the Dee are to be defined by child- ren dressed as wild flowers. They will be so grouped as to give all the tints of the rainbow, being in two bending lines to mark the banks of the river. They appear again in Episode II when King Edgar's barge passes between them rowed by the eight tributary Princes, and nymphs lightly trip before it, suggesting the undulations of the water. On an ordinary stage the effacb that is obtained here would be quite impossible; it is the huge extent of the arena that allows the hundreds of children to be gathered into one picture. Their exit is described by Mrs McLellan as the serpent swallowing its tail," a figure of speech which as a figure of dancing is the turning in of the ends of the lines between the original lines so thac the dancers are proceeding in opposite directions, which, with the light tripping step and blending of colours, will give beaufilful scintillation. To Walter Crane the Pageant is greatly indebted for much of the effect of these costumes, as they have been mainly gleaned from his flower book, so well known t3 all art lovers. In mauve there will be anemones, foxgloves, violets and lady's bower. In pink ragged robin, roses, daisies, and cockle. In fl rnie wheat and popies. In yellow and orange, marigolds, primroses, king's cup, bishop's weed, buttercups, ox-aye daisies, and lilies. In green, fennel and settle. In blue forget-me-nots, hare- bells, cornflowers, and Canterbury bells. In another shade of mauve will be pansies, aueinones, and columbine, then flag in light green and autumn green. The nymphs who proceed the barge will all bs in water tints under-dressed with silver sheen, Miss Phyllis Jones will lead them in their dance. The tritons will ba bullrushes and water lilies, and will bear the twelve yard train of Deva. The Midsummer Revels of Episode VII give reasou for many daccee, all of which will reflect the spirit of the seventeenth century. There will be two Maypole dances, and a dance of Dairymaids, Forty hobby-horses will in a dance make a wild charge, led on one side by Merry Andrew, and on the other by Jack in the Green, until the fray suggests heated dispute, when the valiant warriors ignominiously take flight, but return to accept with much self esteem the final applause. Mrs McLellan has already been responsible for the dancing at several carnivals and pageants, in- cluding those at Cheltenham and Cardiff. She expresses much indebtedness at Chester to the valuable help rendered by Miss Hilda Woodhou?e, of 10 Lumley Road, Chester, who is assisting her as her pianist. The committee of the Chester Historical Pageant have decided to admit the public to the following dregs rehearsals, as recently arranged on special terms :-Saturday, July 9, 3 p.m., three counties elementary school children and teachers (in parties of 25), children 6d, teachera Is each.

Wishing.
Wishing. Wishing's a very common thing. In fact, we all indulge In wishing, but the things we wish We do not all divulge. I sometimes have a wish myself,— In truth I cften do,- Of many things for which I wish I'll mention o e or two. I wish that some were not so rich, That some were not so poor, That some possessed a good bit less, And some a little more. I wish that all who want to work Had plenty work to do That those who work and do it wel Were paid well for it, too. I wish that those who will not work Were all compelled to try If without eating they can live If not, then let them die. We've in the world all sorts of folks, Good, middling, bad, worse, worst; I wish to goodness we could class Thenj all amongst the first. We've sinner, saint, and hypocrite, Philanthropist and sweater I wish the worst were not so bad, I wish the best were better. We've rogues and thieves, and that we may Distinguish such as those, I wish that every rascal had A black spot on his nose. I do so wish the difterenco There ought to be between Tli' ungodly world and Christian Church More rlainly could be seen. I wish all so-called Christian sects Could heartily agree, And truly sing We're one in hope, In faith and charity." I wish that Emperors, Kiugol and Czars (I think 'twould be but right), And others who kick up the row, Could be fompelled to fight. I wish all partiea in the state Could work with heart and soul, Not for their own small cliques, bat for The helping of the whole. One other wish, which is, I wish I had the power and tact To make each wish that I have wished A real accomplished fact. For wishing is of little use, Or Done, unless it leads To something more, say noble thoughts, Wise words, and manly deeds. Rhyl. J. H.

Denbighshire Quarter I Sessions. 1 LICENSED VICTUALLERS' APPEAL. The Quarter Sessions for the county of Den- bigh were held at Ruthin on Friday, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn presiding. Mr J W Raynes, Old Colwyn, was appointed a member of the Licensing Committee in the place of the late Mr T G Osborn, Colwyn Bay. The Licensed Victuallers' Defence League appealed to the court to abandon for a speci- fied period the imposition for the charges for compensation purposes owing to the increased financial burden recently cast on the licensed trade by the Legislature. The matter was referred to the Licensing Committee. Sentences. Richard Tnomas Stephens (22), collier, plead- ed not guilty to a charge of assaulting Ellen Davies Williams, eight years of age, at Abergele, on the 18th ult. Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P., prosecuted.- He was found guilty, and in sen- tencing him to 18 calendar months' imprison- ment the Chairman said that it was a regrett- able fact that cases of that kind were on the increase in the county. They appeared on the calendar of almost every sessions, and it was hardly safe for women, and especially children, to walk about country roads. Thos Roberts, of Denbigh, known as the Welsh De Wet, pleaded guilty to stealing a brass etandpipe, the property of the Ruthin Corporation. Mr Trevor Lloyd prosecuted. A sentence of three calendar months was passed. Herbert Smith (23), labourer, pleaded guilty to a charge of housebreaking at Gyffylliog, near Ruthin, and of stealing articles of the value of 27 7s, the property of Ed Williams. Pre- vious convictions were proved, and prisoner was sentenced to twelve calendar months' hard labour. Wm. Davies (40), horse breaker, a native of Cerrigydruidion, pleaded guilty to having stolen a quantity of articles, and was sent to gaol for six months with hard labour. Geo Ward (29), labourer, was indicted for assaulting Jane Edwards at Llanrwst on the 10th ult. Mr Artemus Jones prosecuted. Prisoner was sbnt to gaol for two years.
The Question of Health.
indiscretions to which in the hurry and turmoil of life we are all prone (such as eating too quickly, not taking sufficient rest, worrying too much over our troubles, etc etc.) all tend to bring about a deadlock in some part of the human mechanism or a weakening and slowing down of the whole. A good bracing tonic, one that will re-vitalise and wind up all the machinery, will at such times work greater wonders than a long course of nauseous medicines. A dose of Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters taken when you feel the least bit out of sorts is just that stitch in time." The question of health is a matter which is sure to concern us at one time or another, especially when influenza is so prevalent as it is jnst now. So it is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, this epidemic catarrh or cold of an aggravated kind, to combat it whilst under its baleful influence, and particu- larly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous of complaints. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is acknowledged by all who have given it a fair trial to be the best specific remedy for dealing with influenza in all its various stages, being a pre paration skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other blood purifying and enriching agents, suitable for the liver, digestion, and all those ailments requiring tonic strengthen- ing and nerve increasing properties. It is invalu- ble for those suffering with colds, pneumonia, or any serious illness, or prostration caused by sleep- lessness or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and lassitude. Don't delay, but try it now. Send for a copy of the pamphlet of testimonials, which carefully read and consider well, then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d) at your nearest Chemist or Stores. But when purchasing see that the name "Gwilym Evans" is on the label, stamp and bottle, for without which none are genuine.
