HEAD ONE MASS OF RINGWORMS DOCTOR SAID HAIR MUST BE CUT OFF. ZAM-BUK BRINGS JOY TO ANOTHER MOTHER. When playing with another child," said Mrs. E. Dryland, of 22, Station Rd., Hastings, to a re- port-er, my daughter Ethel, aged 3-21, caught ring- worm, which spread so rapidly that her head was soon one mass of bald. itchy places. The school nurse asked me to take Ethel to the Clinic, so I did so at once. The doctor there said, 'Do yon want the child to be cured?' 'Of course I do,' was my reply. Well, you must have all her hair shaved off.' he said. This greatly distressed me. for Ethel has a wealth of flaxen hair. I decided that, if it could be helped, I would not have her hair cut off. Seeing that the doctor's ointment was not bringing about any improvement, I remembered that I had found Zam-Buk very soothing and heal- ing for chilblains. So I thought I would see if it would do the ringworms good. After only a few dressing of Zam-Buk the result was so satisfactory that I said to myself, 'I'll stick to Zam-Buk.' The moment the balm was applied, the shocking irrita- tion ceased, and Ethel became less fretful. She never so much as scratched the places after I applied Zam-Buk, which effectually rooted out the ringworms, and restored her scalp to perfect health. The hair has grown splendidly all over her head. I cannot be too grateful to Zam-Buk, which alone cured her. Zam-Buk always retains its high standard of healing efficiency as distinguished from coarse home- made salves and common ointments. Zam-Buk is the one 1- absolutely reliable healer for family use. Zam-Buk is sold only in sealed Tackagee by chemists and drug stores. Do not M put off with anything alleged to be just as good."

FROM THE "CARMARTHEN JOURNAL," FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1815. On Wednesday last was held the Anniversary Meeting of the Proclamation Society for the County and the County of the Borough of Car- marthen, of which the Premiums of 1814-1816, were awarded; and others for the ensuing year were proposed. We think the public will be highly gratified by the following instance of good service and frugality, which obtained two of the Premiums. (Copy of a Certificate). Proclamation Society for the Diocese of St. David's. This is lb certify, that Elizabeth Llewelyn, the bearer hereof, has lived as hired servant with Thomas Williams, of Pantmeyinog, Farmer, in the parish of Llangadock, in the county of Carmar- then, for the space of twenty-three years, at C3 13s. 6d. per annum wages, without losing a single day from her said service during the said time; and has, with the money saved from her wages, paid for a Cot and Garden which she purchased, and ilt another on the premises; for which two houses she receives B3 a year, and also 92 a year interest of money saved, by her labour and in- dustry.—Witness our hands this 23d day of Feb- ruary, 1815, J. Llewelyn, Clerk. E. P. Lloyd. On ooncluding the business of the day, the Committee repaired to Abergwilly Palace, and dined with the Lord Bishop of St. David's. Or Wednesday last Lord Cawdor gave a sump- tuous dinner to the Officers of the Royal Carmar- then Fusiliers, of which excellent regiment his Lordship is Colonel, at the White Lion, in this town. Much conviviality and harmony prevailed on the occasion, and every individual guest retired highly gratified with his entertainment. Mr. Williams and his corps dramatique opened their winter campaign in thi town. this day se'nnight, when,- notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, they drew a very respectable assemblage to the scene of action'; and have since exhibited with increased eclat.' The following singular circumstance lately occurred on a farm belonging to S. Harries, Esq., of Trevaccwn. Pembrokeshire. About a fortnight ago, a fox having entered through the roof of an outhouse, in which a flock of geese were confined during the night, killed nine of them and, strange to tell, on the door of the same place being opened on Sunday last, to let out the geese, he himself was found lying dead on the floor. No more of the geese had been killed, but two were badly wounded. It does not appear how Reynard came by his death; but it is conjectured, that a large water spaniel of the neighbourhood, on hearing the alarm amongst his gabbling friends, most heroically' came to their rescue, and sealed in death the fascinating optics of their arch enemy!!

MARRIED. On Saturday se'nnight, at Whitland, Carmar- thenshire, Evan Lewis, Esq., of Vron, to Elizabeth, second daughter of Mr. Lewie, of the former place. On Saturday last, Mr. Thomas George, to Miss Phoebe Game, both of Pembroke. DIED. On Tuesday morning last, deeply regretted by his relatives, and a numerous and respectable circle of friends, aged 63, Josiah Llewellyn, Esq., who was many years Postmaster, and in 1795-6 se~; 5? the office of Mayor, of this town.

HOUSING AND TUBERCULOSIS REPORT OF CARMARTHENSHIRE MEDICAL OFFICER. In his annual report for 1913 just isued, Dr. E. Cambria Thomas, M.D., D.P.H. (Llanybyther), the acting medical officer of health for Carmarthen- shire, deals with the Housing and Town Planning Act. 1909. It was, unfortunately, true, he remarks, that a town that was rapidly developing had great difficulty in preparing a town-planning scheme, owing to the financial strain upon its resources and the demands upon the time of its officials, while a stagnant town was better table to do so, though the plan was not so urgently needed. A new main road to Swansea from the lower portion of Llanelly was urgently needed. Its construction would provide a large area of building land accessible for develop- ment. Dr. Francis, Llanelly, sounded a note of warning against the devolpment of building areas upon garden city lines. While 50 houses to the acre were crowded too closely, four or even eight to the acre meant waste of area when used as dwellings for the industrial workers. The gardens were too large, and great and unnecessary expense was incurred in the construction and upkeep of extra length of xoade, tramways, sewers, etc. No ad- vantage fom a health standpoint was gained by building fewer than 12 to 15 houses to the acre. Dealing with Llanelly rural area, the report states:—" There is a general tendency to over- crowding in some places, such as Yspytty, Tumble, etc.. where new works have been erected and ex- tension of existing works. There is no great necessity for the Council undertaking the building of new houses for the working class, as private enterprise seems to supply the demand." The infant mortality rate per 1.000 births for the whole county was 100.69, urban area 97.54, and rural area 104.74. This compared very favourably with that of England and Wales as a whole, for which the rate was 109. He suggests that the schools nurse should periodically give a lecture in schools to girls of 14 and upwards on the important points connected with home nursing and infant feeding. The housing question was of vital importance in the treatment of tuberculosis, and sanatorium treatment was of little avail if the patient had to return to a dirtv. damp. ill-lighted and badlv-ventilated dwel- lin g. There was great need for improvement in the housing accommodation of the working classes. Though the institutional treatment undertaken by the Memorial Association was to some extent pre- ventive. other measures, such as improved housing conditions, and the supervision of food stuffs, especially milk and meat. should form the important duty of sanitary authorities. Recent researches in Tuberculosis indicated that the disease was in manv cases due to infe-tion during infancy and childhood, although there rnitlit be no obvious manifestation lis ot it until adult life was reached. Preventive measures should therefore be taken carlv. Educa- tion authorities could do a great deal bv oroviding hygienic schools, which would constitute sanatoria in themselves, and lessons should be given on cookery, hygiene and infant care and management.

BRYNAMMAN NOTES [By PARK LANE."] As a little study in psychology, the writer wishes to draw the attention of his readers to the follow- ing two letters. Both were. sent him by his brother from the front (Pte. E. W. Rees, of the 9th Welsh). The first letter, which was written just before our recent grand assault took place, is as follows:— Dear Brother,—From the trenches I send a few lines hoping they will find you in the best of health, as I am at present. We are getting some pretty busy times over here, but we have been very lucky so far, considering. It is a bit lively here to-night, and we heard to-day that they have got & conferen-e for peace. But very little peace they'll get the next four days from us, for I think our army is going to put the final polish on them. We have been taking the rust off them since last Saturday, and I hope we will soon be able to say, Auf wie dersehon, Allemand" ("Tommy Atkins is too good for you "). They bounce that they broke up the 1st and the 2nd Welsh, but it will be a very dear supper for them when they try to cut up the 9th Welsh. The Bavarians were shouting last night. "Come out to fight. Tommy!" But where were they at the time? In hiding. I suppose, with an iron foundry round about them! But I am thinking that even if he is down in a shaft as deep as the East Pit to-night, our big guns will shift them back, or cover them up. I expect that by dayliarht to-morrow many of them will be wishing the. Kaiser to be 400 yards further than for starting this war." The next letter was written a day or two after- wards. when our gallant lads in khaki were for the first time able to meet the Germans on an equality, and had after the recent grand assault shown them what British metal and mettle means. "Dear Brrlther," it runs. just a few lines to let you know that all is well with me. I am sorry to tell you that all my mates are gone. All the Brynamman boys are safe, barring poor Will Arthur Jones, who was killed on Saturday. Augrstus also is wounded. The 9th Welsh went like ons man. and they showed an example to the whole world. Also, I am glad to tell you that it has been a great suocess, I don't know the number, but thousands of the Germans were captured right and left." This is the true spirit of Gwalia Wen." The other day. whilst talking to one of the Bryn- amamn lads who will sonn be out at the front, the writer wa, told—" Un peth hoffwn i gael gwyOOd- pwy o honni nhw laddodd Will Artb.' fy mrawd! WvYn barod i beidio J'od 'nol byth mwy, Jack, oe ca i wvbod hwna And his evee. brimful of tears, amply bore him out. -*»>

LLANDOVERY NOTES (By Dyipm.") Harvest Thanksgiving Services were held in the various Nonconformist places of worship in the Borough on Wednesday last, and were well attend- ed. Agriculturalists should now feel contented, as all the crops have been gathered in. Mr. Aldrige, Stationmaster, is just now enjoying a well earned holiday. The general market prices charged for the fol- lowiny articles are:—Butter, Is. 6d. per lb.: eggs, 2s per dozen; and milk, 4d per quart. How in the name of goodness a working man earning a JB1 a week and with a large family to bring up, can make both ends meet nowadays passes one's comprehension. The death took place on Thursday last of the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.. Harley of Aberogwr. The interment was at Llandingat Churchyard on Monday. Much sympathy is extended to the be- reaved parents. Recruiting continues somewhat slow in this dis- trict. During the past week a few recruits were secured by Lieut. Skeels and Sergeant Fuller, V.C. The annual English thanksgiving services were held at Llandingat Church on Sunday last, when excellent sermons were preached to large and appreciative congre-ations by the Rev. Godfrey Wolf, rector of Nantmil, Radnorshire. Several ladies decorated the interior of the sacred (tlifioe with much taste. In the natural course of events, the quartette of retiring members on the Town Council on the ist prox. woizld have been the Mayor (Mr. Pryse-Rice), Mr. Thomas Roberts, Mr. Henry Havard, and Mr. Daniel Lewis. In consequence of the provisions of t r?1™ Postponement Act, their term has been extended for another year. Thev well deserve thi« extension. The condition of Llanddausaint roads created a warm discussion at the last meeting of the Rural District Council. It appears that the Llanelly Dis- trict Council are responsible for the extraordinary traffic over the roads, and therefore should place the highway in a condition, suitable for traffic. Ald. T. Watkins, Gollen House, and Mr. John Garner, Northampton House, have very thought- fuly sent a parcel of papers to the Workhouse for the benefit of the inmates. Welsh butter sems to be scarce. At least the Workhouse officials cannot procure it. and a sugges- tion was made at the last meeting of the Board that margarine should substitute it. The much-talked-of GIanrhyd Bridge will soon be in course of erection.

RESULTS TELL THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT THE RESULTS IN CARMARTHEN. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a neighbour can be easily in- vestigated. What better proof can be had? On September 7th, 1911, Mrs. E. Fortune, of 8, John Street, near the Market, Carmarthen, said: I used to get sharp shooting pains right across my back and down my legs; if I stooped I could scarcely get upright again. I lost all energy, and suffered with headaches and dizziness. The kidney excretions were troublesome, caused pain in relief. Reading about Doan's backache kidney pills in the papers led me to try them, and I am glad I did so, for they eased me wonderfully. I felt far better and brighter altogether, and it was not long before I was well again. I have great faith in Doan's pills and shall always advise them to people who are troubled as I was. (Signed) E. FORTUKE." T pp2 12% 1915~ NEARLY FOUR YEARS LATER—Mrs. Fortune said — *• Doan's pills cured me of severe attacks of backache, and I shall always praise them for this. I have good faith in the medicine, and recommend it to others. I enjoy very good health, thanks to Doan's pills." When the kidneys are ill the whole body is being SLOWLY POISONED. That is why kidney com- plaint is so serious, and why it so often ends fatally. Doan's backache kidney pills cleanse and gently heal the kidneys, and so arrest the cause of kidney trouble, backache, rheumatism, dropsy, urinary dis- orders. gravel, languor, weakness and unnatural drowsiness. Price 2/9 a box. 6 boxes 13/9; of all dealers, or from Foster-McClellan Co. 8, Wells-st.. Oxford-st., London, W. Don't ask for backache or kidney pills.-ask DISTINCTLY for DOAN'S backache kidney pills. the same as Mrs. Fortune had.
