Frongooh Issop, TIechryd, Cardiganshire, March 16, 1896. "Gentlemen,—I write to thank you forthegrea benefit I received through taking Clarke's Bloo<! Mixture. I had suffered for over eighteen months from ulcerated sores on my leg. and <was unable to walk about the house without crutches. During tho above period I had been treated by doctors, and had tried all sorts of remedies, but none did me any good. At the latter end of last year I was recommended to consult a noted person for suck; maladies in Glamorganshire; I went there and re., mained under his care for several weeks, but had to return home despondent, without having derived any benefit. A day or two after I returned home, j Mr Jones, our police officer, called, and asked how I I was, and I told him my experience in Glamorgan. shire. He replied If the mischief is in the blood I know a certain oure, Clarke's Blood Mixture.' After further conversation I made up my mind to give it a trial, and shall never forget the day. In less than six weeks, and before I finished taking the second bottle, I was perfectly cured, and never felt better in my life. EveJ since I have been able to attend to my household duties without the SLIE-HHMT difficulty whatever,-Yours truly, tr "ANN THOMAS." "4, Greenfield-street, Govan, Glasgow, Jan. 5,1897 "Dear Sirs,—1 feel in duty bound to add m) testimonial in favour of Clarke's world-famed Blood Mixture. I have suffered for three years and six months with a dreadful sore on my upper lip and chin. I was forced to go to the Skin Hospital, in Elm Bank-street; they did not do any good to it. | Then I tried most of all the principal institutions in Glasgow, and lastly the Skin and Cancer Institu- tion in St. Vincent-street, and paid one pound before receiving any advice, and the advice was that he was afraid I would lose my upper lip I received treatment in this institution for one month, and received no benefit Then he told me he would have to take the lip off, but I would not consent, and of which I am a proud man to-day After this I went to the Western Infirmary, and was under a clever skin specialist I r?ceived treatment for 13 weeks, and received a little benefit, and came out and commenced working again at my occupation, but I soon got as bad as ever I then commenced with 'Clarke's "World-famed Blood Mixture,' and after taking five bottleB was completely cured. But I still continued taking the Mixture till I had taken thirteen bottles You can make use of my name in any way you please.-Yours truly, WILLIAM PATEBSON. THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS For cleansing and clearing the blood from all impurities CLARKE'S BLOOD MIXTURE cannot be too highly recommended For Soorfula, Scurvy, Eczema, Bad Legs, Skin and Blood Diseases, Pimples, and Sores of all kinds its effects are marvellous.

[No title]
The Flintshire police force have deservedly won credit for themselves by the clever way in which they brought to justice, the ruffian who assaulted and robbed a young lady cyclist on the Holywell and St. Asaph road. Since his apprehension, no stone appears to have been left unturned to establish an alibi on Sprigg's behalf. The power and influence of the Treasury were enlisted in his favour the services of a well-known officer of the Criminal Investigation Department were given to sift the evidence on his behalf; whilst the London evening papers plied the public with sensationally headed paragraphs as to the wrong man being accused arousing sympathy as to the agony of mind of a distracted mother, and ridiculed the action of the Welsh country police. Notwithstanding all this, the Flintshire officers pursued their investigations and wove a web of evidence for the prosecution from which all the adroitness which was brought to bear on behalf of the prisoner could not extricate him. The sentence of five year*' penal servitude cannot be described as a harsh one; the only pity is that a wholesome administration of the" cat" did net ac- company it. It is rumoured that since his conviction Spriggs has confessed that he committed the crime. We believe that this is quite true, and that he added that he expected a sentence of at least ten years.

This service forcibly recalled many reminiseanses of the natare attended to, and the rav. gentleman paid a most worthy tribute to the greatness of the mourned preacher the greatness of his natural abilities, his intellectual powers, his marvellous eloquence, his vast influence, and of his grand Christian cbaiaotar.
