WHAT TO EAT, DRINK, AND AVOID BY A MEDICAL MAN. Diet.—Under this bead we will oonsider what is the best Every man or woman must be a law unto themselves as to what to eat, drink, and avoid, The saying, One man's meat is another man's po's n" is very tru-, and the time of year, and the climatic surroundings have much to siy in the matter. In the arctic regions you can eat and relish fats or fat mixtures such as would be fatal to you in the tropics. Why do our countrymen suffer so much from liver complaintP It is beca^sa our insular trait ing in Ü e British Isles has induced a love for Boast beef, spirits and strong beer,, and we indulge in these with one result, liver oomplaint. Wfrd we only rational and adapted our diet to onr surround- ings we would lead healthier, happier lives. Were we to a great extent b shun auimal food we would be healthier. The foregoing obs r-anions lead us to consider why Dr. Tibb!e j' Vi-Uocoa acti so beneficially on the liver. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa has in it the four ingredients of a purely vegetable extaction, and while these in combination act most benefioially on the liver, they cannot in any secse of the words be either considered drugs or medicines. They are no'ther mora or lc si than strengthening, nourishing restorative- They give tone and vigour to every organ of the body, while at the same time they build up tho whole constitution in a way tbat has never been done before. This purely vegetable blend not only stimulates the liver to a proper discharge of iti functions, but it builds up its various tissues to the highest pitoh of efficiency. Merit, and merit alone, is what we claim for Dr. Tibbie»' Vi-Cocoa, aid we are prepared to send to any reader -who names the "Flintshire Observer," a dainty sample tin of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa free and pot* paid There is no magio In all this.

BAGILLT. Buss BAND CONTESTS.—At the feoond brasi band contit-t in connection with the North Wales Bras3 Band Association teld at Llanerjhiugog Park, near Wrexham, on Monday, in wet weather, the awards werd as follows :-Section ore: 1st, Nantlle Vala, conductor, Mr W. Rimmer; 2ni, Llan Festiniog, Mr T. Valentine; 3rd, Wrexham Borough, Mr George Turtle. Seotion two 1st, Rhop, Mr J. J. Brady 2nd, Llaaddulas, Mr D. Owen. Seotion three let, Bagillt. Mr J. J. Brady; 2nd, Lianfairfeabari, Mr J. Finoh. The challenge shield, a handsome en- graved piece of plate which has been handed t) the Bagillt Band, and which they will hold for the year, ia now on view at Mr Gratton Thomas' Apothecaries Hall. The Rev. D. J. Thomas, M.A., Vice-Principal of the Winohesttr Diocesan Training College, and Hon. Minor Canon of Winchester Cathedral, has been unanimously elected Prinoipal of the Home and Colonial Training College, Gray's Inn Road, London, and of the Highbury Traiciag College for Secoadary Teachers. Toe Home and Colonial Training College is the laigest of all the Training Colleges in England, and the PrinoipalsHip of this College, alone oarries with it a ealary of L600 a ytar. Obviously, this is regarded ai one of the plums of the profession, and there was very keen competition for it. Last September Mr Thomas came seoond for the Principal- ship of Bede Training College, Durham, but his disappointment on that oooasion has evidently been the doorway of his promotion to the Prinoipalship of the largest of our Metropolitan Training College'. It is no small triumph for one who, seven and a half years ago, was the Master of the Bagillt National Schools, to have so rapidly reached the top of bis profes-ion. We most heartily congratulate Principal and Mra Thomas on their good fortune, and we desire to expresi a hope that there is a long and useful career before them, and that God will abundantly bless their labour a. The new Principal will oommenoo his work in London early in September UNIVBBSITY INTELLIGENCE.—Mr O. A. Thomas, headmaster of the National Schools, sucoessfully parsed the final B.A. examination held last week at Trinity College, Dublin. The degrees were oonferred at a meeting of the senate on Friday last. This succes* is the more remarkable, when we reflect that our respectid friend put ia two t rm examinations as recently as January and Easier week last. Mr O. A. Thomas, B.A. Trinity College, Dublin, ba1 tern successively scholar, pupil-teaoher, assistant- teachar, and head-mastar at our National Sohools, and thus being a true fellow-townsman we the more heartily congratulate him upon his latest achievement. Within the comparatively ahort period of eight years all three brothers have beoome graduates of ancient universities, which is no mean reoorl considering the laborious appointments they held while so doing. BATHING FATALITY IN THE DEE. A TREACHEROUS GUTTER. On Friday afternoon last at the Victoria Inn, Walwen road, an inquest was held before Mr Richard Bromley, County Coroner, and a jury, of which Mr Thomas Humphreys was foreman, upon the body of a youth named John William Parry, who, on the previous Wednesday after- noon, was drowned in a gutter in the river Deo, opposite Walwen while bathing. The deceased was in his 14th year and resided with his uncle, Mr Daniel Parry, Victoria row, Walwen. He was engaged by Mr Thomas Davies, Fishpool ] farm, to look after cattle on the marsh. The evidence called included that of Mr Daniel Parry, of Victoria row, uncle of the deceased, who identified the body. About 1.30 on Wednes- day afternoon a messenger came to the Deo Bank Lead Works, and told him his nephew was drowned. He went on to the marsh and saw the deceased's clothes on the bank. There was a crowd of people on the bank. No trace of the deceased could be discovered, but after twenty minutes' search the head of the deceased was seen bobbing up and down in the gutter The body was drawn out of the water. All signs of life were absent, and it was ultimately removed home. Witness was not aware de- ceased was in the habit of bathing he had a strong dislike to water when a child. Had he known of his bathing in the gutter he should have done his best to prevent deceased going to such a dangerous place.-Thoo Ralph Davies* aged 12 years, son of John Davies, Victoria-row, Walwen, said, about half past one witness and Richard Henry Thomas and Edward Simon, went on to the marsh for a walk. They were going to bathe and saw deceased who asked them were they going to bathe. They said they were, and the deceased joined them. Deceased got his clothes off first and went into the water, but whether he dived or fell in he could not say. They saw his feet out of the water and one of the lads called out that Parry was drowning. They got afraid and ran for assistance. They did not again go back to the marsh. The water in the gutter was level with the top at the time and the tide was running out fast. He had frequently bathed with the deceased, but higher up the gutter where the water was shallow.- Richard Henry Thomas, aged 12 years, of Victoria row, one of the three boys who were with the deoeased, said the deceased went into the water first. He saw the deceased in the water and thought he was playing. However, he turned on his back and then they saw his feet turn upwards. Getting afraid, they ran off for assistance, Before running for assistance they dressed themselves. [A Juror observed that the assistance would have come too late, even had the boys run off before dressing]. Witness further said that none of them could swim. He was aware that a person had been drowned in the gutter some years ago, but it was at a spot further down the river.—Edmund Jones, Smith's cottages, said shortly before two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the two pre- vious witnesses came to the house and told him that Wm John Parry had been drowned in the gutter. He went to the marsh and having ob- tained a couple of rakes, he with others searched about, and in the course of an hour they saw the crown of deceased's head above the water, The body was floating, as the depth of water would-be over six feet in the swash where it was found. The current flowed very strong at the time. It was evident that the deceased had got out of his depth. The place was dangeroud. He had noticed there was more bathing at that part of late than formerly. The place where the deceased had evidently gone to bathe, dropped straight from the bank for a consider- able depth. The body had been carried some distance down the gutter to what was known as the "iswash."—The Foreman pointed out that the place where the deceased was drowned was highly dangerous, the gutter being deceptive. He thought it would be advisable to recommend that a notice board should be put up warning persons from bathing.—Mr Goodman Edwards was of opinion that the Parish Council might take the matter up, and no doubt permission would be given by Mrs Miohell, of River Bank, to the fixing of a notice board.—The Foreman intimating that he should be pleased to put forward the recommendation of the Coroner's Court before the Parish Council, Mr Edwards made a formal proposition that the Parish Council be recommended to fix a notice board in a conspicious position near the footpath leading to the mardh from the Walwen road. The proposition was seconded and carried, and the Jury returned a verdict of "aocidently drowned whilst bathing."—The two boys who gave evidence were complimented for the in- telligent way in which they made their statements.

Correspondence. [We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions ex- pressed by our Correspondents] To the Editor of the Flintshire 06server. DBAB SIB,—I have every reason to believe that a great number of art-lovers in Wales are awaiting with intere3t the realisation of my scheme for art edocation in the Principality, and I am fully oon- vinoed that they have recognized the full-hearedne88 with which I took up the cause. It is, therefore, with positive pain that I have to declare that I am oompell sd t) abandon it, on the simple, but impera- tive ground of health. An attack, some months since, of influenza in a mysterious form, has convinced b)th my medical advisers and myself that I have to reduoe all mental labour to the utmost, and I am positively forbidden to launoh out into any- thing likely to entail mental anxiety, and mental strain, beyond my neoessary work. The further I got into my scheme, the more I felt that every detail would have to be personally superintended for some time to oome. Needless to eay, this would have entailed the very strain that has been so strictly forbidden me. But much of the bitter disappointment which I feel would ba dispelled if I could b3lieve that my scheme would, at no distant period, be tiken up and worked out by others, ai far as practicable, and that my agitation for art in Wales might yet bear frnit. I will, of oonrse, adjudicate and superintend the art seotion at Newport as promised. But I thought it necessary to a-k the Editors of Newspapers in Wales to allow me to explain my position the moment I was SUM there was no escape for me. As for my Bcheme,-I had planued schools of artl and crafts, whera work should be done which was purohaseable by the public. This meant schools that were pre-eminently intended to be self-sapporting when once fairly started. I should thus have opposed the present system of teohnical edaoation on the most vital point. For sach an original experi. ment Wales seems to me admirably suited, because it afforded practically clear ground. Althougb my plan was to make things that belonged to daily life, I did not lose tight of the painter in my forms of tuition. But I intended to evolve him out of the craltsman. It would be futile here to give my programme of tuition in detail, but I am quite prepared to entrust the full scheme, as far as I have thought it out, to anyone nominated by Wales to oarry it out. In the Gorsedd I shall always take a deep interest, and I hope yet to see that interesting and picturesque body without an artistio flaw! I may here just mention that the elaborate Sword of Ceremony for the Gorsadd, upon whioh I am at work, will, unfortanately, not be ready until next year.—I am, yours faithfully, HUBBBT HflBXOXBB.

WHAT AILED THE MAN IN 35. I had just blown out the oandle and orawled into bed. It was at the Lamb Inu, at one of the cathedral cities of England. My room was 34, and presently I heard a man bid the waiter good night, and enter 35, the next room. Ten minutes later, having fallen into a doze, I was startled by a tremendous raoket in 36. The bell downstairs rang an alarm, peal on peal. Jumping from bed I pulled on some clothes and rushed into the hallway. The landlady and two or three servan s had just arrived. Together we entered 36, where we found a big burly man seemingly half ohoked to death. He was purple in the faoe, his eyes were staring and bloodshot, he wheezed and whistled, he went from chair to chair, he ran out into the hallway. I eaw what ailed him. I gave him sal volatile and brandy, opened the window, and made the servants carry away the feather bed. In a little time he was better, hot he wouldn't lie down; be spent the rest of the night in a big easy ohair. "It was that infernal oandle smoke that did it," he gasped. There wai no extinguisher, and I got a whiff that set me going, I have always been subject to it. Sorry to be such a nuisance; I'U do now." There are lots of people like him. Here is another, namely, Mra Eliza Mary Oantle, who lives at 4, Thorngate Buildings, Forton Road, Gosport. She says, "I was taken with shortness of breath, and for over two years I couldn't lie down in bed for fear of being suffocated. Something like a ball used to rise up in my throat and seemed to ohoke me. For years I sat up in bed propped with pillows, and got what sleep I could that way." That was bad—very bad and yet very common. You kpow what it is called, of courge-asthma subbtant:ally the same thing aa epilepsy, catalepsy, hytteria, and that kind of spasms which end in making the body as stiff as though it were three days dead. But what causes it P Can it be cured ? you ask. One thing at a time. Let's first finish with Mrs Cantle's experienoe. The beginning of that lies behind uS-seyen years or mo-August, 1886. She began by feeling weak, nervous, and generally ailing. She had a bad taste in the mouth, poor appetite, headache, heaviness, and a sense of want of warmth and vigour in the stomaoh; and the looking-glass showed her that her skin and eyes were getting of a eiokly yellow oomplexion. By- and-by matters were much worse with her. After taking even simple morso's of food she had pain in the chest amounting to agony. On this, sho says, she beoame afraid to eat. We can well believe it. Then," she aids, I had dreadful attacks of giddiness, specks floated before my eyes so I could scarcely see, and I could stand only by taking hold of the furniture." After this came the terrible time with the asthma —already described. Her letter, dated September 20th, 1893, oonoludes with these words :—"I was now very thin, and so feeble I had to keep in bed for weeks at a time. I was literally starving for want offood, yet didn't dare to touch any thing solid. The doctor who attended me gave me medicines, but they did no good. At last a friend from Fratton told me how she had been benefited by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. She brought me a bottle and I began with it. In a few days I felt better than I had for years. My breathing was easy, and I could eat. I kept on with the Syrup and was soon as well as ever. In my opinion this remedy eaved my life. (Signed) Eliza Mary Oantle." Very good. A noble result. Yet very natural, too. Asthma is not a disease of the lungs as some wrongly think, but is caused by the poisons of indigestion and dyspepsia entering the blood and prostrating the nervous system. And as the lungs, like all other organs, are operated by the nerves, they fail when the nerves fail. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup abolishes the cause, and the effect goes away with it. Don't forget it. If the man in 36 had used the Syrup months before we met at The Lamb," he wouldn't have scared the whole household half out of their wits.

BILIOUSNESS. Not able to Eat for a Week at a time. VICTORIA HOTEL, PLATT BRIDGE, Near WIGAN, Ncv. nthy 1890. GENTLEMEN,—I am happy to inform you that I have received great benefit by using "Gwilym Evans' Bitters," after suffering a long time from Biliousness. I had become very weak, and so nervous that if any one spoke in a loud tone I was much frightened. I have been so bad that I was not able to eat for a week at a time. I tried" GWilym Evans' Quinine Bit- ters," and the first bottle did me a deal of good, so I got another, and am happy to say I am now quite well. I shall always speak well of these" Bitters" to all persons that I know. Yours truly, (Mrs.) BAXTER.
