Fireman's Lapse. Colliery Official Fined at Porth. At Porth Police Court on Thursday, William Davies, a night fireman at the No. 2 Level, Cynimer Colliery, was sum- moned under Special Rule 56, in that he did not make the inspection required by the Rules before the shift commenced. Mr. W. Kenshole. Aberdare, prosecuted. Mr. E. S. Williams, manager, said that on the 24th ult. he was proceeding into the level when he met a man coming out, who reported to witness that a man had been very badly burnt at a place called John Jenkins' dip." After proceeding some distance further, witness met the injured man being brought out. On reaching the place where the accident occurred, witness found a layer of gas right under the roof. He sent for the fireman (defendant), and asked him whether he had heard about the acci- dent. and whether he had examined the place that morning. To both questions defendant replied in the affirmative. Asked why lie did not make his mark in the face, defendant said that it was too wet. A Otiark was found further back the road. Defendant said that lie entered the face on the night of the accident with the intention of marking it. When he was within 21- yards of the face his atten- tion was drawn to a piece of roof work- ing" behind him. Defendant proceeded to this spot and found a fall had taken place, leaving a cavity in the roof. Fear- ing that a further fall would take place, blocking up the airway, he made a mark there and completely overlooked the face. A fine of £2 and costs was imposed.

Dangerous Neglect in Tonypandy. There are many in Tonypandy who do not realise how serious it is to neglect pains in the loins and back, urinary diis- orders, gravel, puffiness in the ankles and under the eyes, and rheumatic twingles. These and other unmistakable symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble are due to the kidneys failing to filter urinous poisons out of the blood. That is why kidney trouble is so serious, and why it so often ends fatally. An encouraging Tonypandy cure is given here. For a long time I had been troubled with my back," says Mr. Robert Bull, of 49, Eleanor Street, Tonypandy. Being a collier and having to work in all manner of positions, made my back worse than ever. The pains were in the region of the kidneys, and I often had a difficulty in getting up after stopping. I had urinary disorders as well, the water being discoloured and scanty. Having heard so much about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I tried them, and they cured me. When I had taken one box of the pills my back was easier, and soon afterwards all the symptoms of kidney trouble had gone. I keep some of Doan s Pills by me now, for I am occa- sionally subject to backache. I can highly recommend the medicine." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per boxs, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McCle.llan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr. Bull had. 4905v
