RUTHIN DISTRICT COUNCIL. I Mr Henry "Williams presided over the monthly meeting of the Council on Monday, and there were also present :—Messrs Owen Williams, R D Jones, J Roberts (Nantglyn), T H Roberts, Thomas Jones Pias Coch), E Powell JoDes, Thomas Jones (Llanferres), Joseph "Davies, Wm Ellis, William Davies, J R Lloyd, and Lev is Jones with the clerk, Mr R Humphreys Roberts medical officer of health, Dr T 0 J ones ana the surveyors, Messrs E Evans and William Jones. HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. It was reported by the Medical Officer I that during the eight weeks endir,g May 4th, 27 deaths were registered, making1 an I annual death-rate per K(M> of 18-3. Seventeen of the deaths occurred in per- sons over ti5 years of nge. Twenty births ( were registered, equivalent to an annual birth-rate per lOGO of lo'G. Since the last meeting of the Council only oue case of infectious disease had occurred in the district—a case of scarlet lever which broke out at the Grove, Aberwheeler. The infection was contracted away, and ail precautions were taken to prevent the further spreading of the disease, M A Ii S U AFX PRAIXAOE The Inspector for the Ruthin District presented the report of the Committew appointed to deal with this matter. The report stated that most of the drains at present were rubble-built- The difficulty owing to the position of the bouse, was to o havp a proper outlet for the drain. The Commitree recommended that a covered tank be constructed to receive the drainage. The estimated eest oi the work was about £3C. Mr Owen "Williams thought this wa,i rather a large amount.. The Clerk said the eest of the work would fail upon the parish of Lianferres. The report was adopted on the motion of Mr Owen Williams, seconded fey Mr Thomas Jones, Lianferres. WATEJt AND Wii'SiCV. Mr E Evans, inspector, produced a sample of water used for drinking pur- poses at Plas-yu-Iihal. Mr T H Roberts: Was that water taken by the Medieai OfHcer or inspector '? The Medical Officer No, it was sent to me. Mr T H Roberts If the Surveyor or Medical Officer had takea a sample of this water I would not mind, but, we as a Board ought not to let this bottle of water rest on the table when it has not been taker by con of our officers. The Medieai Officer; This water is only in this condition during wet weather. Mr Henry Williams said he would be more satisfied if one of the oiliesrs had takea the sample. The Inapectr said the water had been taken from the tap ia the house. Mr E Powell Jones (to the Medical Officer) Where did yen get this bottle ? The Medical Offiaer At Plas-yn-rhaL Mr E Powell Jenes This comes from the Corporation Arms, but I see no whiskey in it (laughter). It was decided, 011 the motion of Mr T H Roberts, that the Surveyor should produce a sample of the watar and present it to the next meeting of the Council. IIOAD MAINTENANCE. The Surveyor for the Ruthin district submitted his estimate for the maintenance of the roads in the Ruthin district for the coming year, which amounted to < £ 7!H against .£783 last year.

The ratepayers of Clocaenog r.nd Gyffylliog forwarded a petition esking that a bridge should be built over tha River Alwen, near Talycefn, which was en the main road leading to Oerrigydruidion. The Clerk explained that the river raa between two districts-lJ wchaled and Ruthin. It was decided to write to the Uwchaled District on the matter and to appoint a committee to inspect the place.

HIGHWAYS AND ESTATES OOMMITTEK. "THE W4TKR CART." At a meeting of this committee tho Borough Surveyor reported rhat the Ci^rk of the County Council had kiudly supplied ¡ him with a copy of the report of Mr R B Adams, the district surveyor. He found on referring to it that he rep orted the main reads within the borough ss be^of is a satisfactory state of repair, but that Mwrag-street is net in as satisfactory a state as x&st year. Bis explanation was that they had very heavy traffic in hauling I timber during March, as many as six or I agren loads passing over the said road 3aily daring the greater part of the month, and thi-5 was the cause of thu roau not be- ng in such a satisfactory state. The Surveyor also reported that as he I lad not received the jeturn- for the I eclmlt31 schools held this session he was act in a position to submit the bill for gas ¡ consumed, but hoped to do so at the next I nesting It was resolved that the Financo Com- mittee be referred to report at the next meeting of the Council upon the question of a loan for street improvements, referred to by this committee on December 21st. Mr Rouw said he would like to know who would report on street watering, the In-pector or burveyor ? The Chairman I think it would be the Surveyor's duty. Mr Rouw I should have thought it j was the Inspector's, for it is a nuisance, ú positive iiuisanee. 1 should like to ask I why the streets have not been watered as they should have been during the last month. The Surveyor said that alter the tender was aecepteu at the last meeting he went to Mr Hughes, and informed her that she was compelled to send the water cart out every day until told not to do so. There had been complaints during the last fort- night, owing to the dust in the streei3 last Friday week and Tuesday week, and Mra Hughes regretted very much that the eart was not sent out o- those daysf I Mr Rouw It is a waste of public money to water the streets at 2 o'clock in I the afternoon. It should be done at 7 o'clock in the morning if it is to be done at ail. Mr Rouw then went on to speak of the gas consumed at the technical classes. If I their accounts were not submitted at the proper time to the County Council they might be in danger ef losing the grant. Mr Ezra Roberts said the classes had not closed when the committee aaet and that was the reason for the bill not being ) presented. The Surveyor said that previous to tne highway committee ho makie several appli- 1 cations tu the secretary for the return, but did not get it. Since then, However, ho I had received a bill for the present session I and h" was now in a oosition to make out the bill. I Mr Rouw 1 am quite satisfied. This bill will come to £ 30 or £ 40, and that I sum affect the ratea to the extent of a If I' penny in the C. I don't think it should be allowed to run to the extent of three years. The report was adopted. I «TREET T IoHTIN<»• Mr Ezra Roberts moved that the ques- tion of street lighting be referred to the I highways committee for consideration and report.—Carried. I I TIJT: HOARDINGS. t Mr Arthur Williams, who lately secured II the contract lor the corporation advertis- ing hoardings, wrote stating that the v u hoardings were. tc;-) itnall to meet fmcr- I | gencies. I 0' The letter was referred to the highway I committee. (iRAWMAPv SCiiOOI.. A letter was received from the Clerk to the Governors of the Ruthin Graiamar School, Mr David Jones, stating that th? term of office of Dr Hughes as a. representa- tive governor had expired. j Upon the motion of Mr Rouw seconded I by Mr Thos "Williams, Dr Hughes was j by Mr Thus Willianis, Dr Hughes was i re-elected. I THE STREET WATERINO QUESTION. The following letter from the secretary I to the Water Company was read In reply to yours of the 16th. I beg to inform I you that the directors alter their previous I arrangements with the Council in conse- quenee of the great waste of water in tilling the cart, and also ss compared with towns the rate per 1000 gallons is much bclew the average. The directors are towns the rate per 1000 gallons is much bclew the average. The directors are r prepared, if desired, to supply water for I street watering and flashing purposes at a fixed luaip earn per annum," Mr Rouw said he thought some steps I should be taken to see whether they could not have a better system of watering—say the continental system of watering direct from the stand-pipes. They would then have the water whenever they liked and at the sanifi time save horse labosr. Mr Ezra Roberts said the reason for I this correspondence was that they were increasing their prices. They asked for an explanation and this was their reply, but I hp did not think it was cemplete enough, I He proposed that the Clerk should write to the company asking for more informa- tion and as to what the lump sum should I be. I This was agreed to. I' THE QUESTION OF REFUSE DISPOSAL. At a meeting of the Refuse Disposal I Conmittee, it was resolved tha t the question I of the removal autl disposal of refuse is so important that this ?ommittee thinks it is I one that should be dealt ,?ith by the whole Council, and therefore refers t1; matter for n consideration at the next meeting; snu I particularly the letter from the Secretaiv I to the Local Government Board of June 10th. This letter stated that tha Secrptary I was directed to advert, to correspondence I I which took place between the Couacil and I the Local Government Board in 1896 on I, this subject, and to suggest that the Town I Couhcil should consider the question of themselves undertaking or contracting, under Section 43 of the Public Heaith Act, I for the ramovat^'of house refuse, and the ¡ cleansing of earth-closets, privies, ash-pits I and cesspools in the borough, instead of imposing these duties upon the occupiers of the ho,i«"<J. Mr Rouw said this was certainly h very, important subject, and there were other things in crnnection with the disposal of reifuse which required attention. The cen- dtion of sontto of the lanes in tha neighbour- hood of the towu was disgraceful, owing to I tue accumulations of rubbish which were deposited there, Mr C D Phillips also spoke of the dirty condition ef some of the lanes noar the town. town. The matter was ultimately referred to the Highways Committee. i :===: ===-=- -==: I

FASHION'S LATEsT VAGARY. 1 f "THE SUN" ON SOCIETY SECRETS. THE latest vagary of Fashion, according to the London isvn, is a boom in patent medicines. People in good Society, who a few years ago would not have dreamed of using them, now unquestionably do so, and report rllll that 8ne remedy, not obscurely advertised, has found its way even into the most august circles. To be plain, pink" pill taking is a of the moment—a craze stimulated, no doubt, bv persistent rumour regarding the circutn- stances in which the product of the largtly- boomed l>r, Williams gained countenance and high approval in a foreign Royal family. A j smart reporter of the Sun went. boldly to make enquiries on the subject. The manager of the Dr. Williams' medicine company admitted that there is a Society boom in medicines. l'l th he, "it is ebvious that Society looks with different eyes upon advertised remedies to what it did in former days, though so far as we are concerned (and it would be idle for me to pretend not to know that it is the Society boom in Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people that has attracted your curiosity), 1 can say that we have always had a liberal measure of support from Society and professional people, but never before to the extent we have now." What do you mean by professional people ?" said the Sun man. You don't meitH doctors?" The manager smiled. If you knew, he said, "just what I know about what, doctors have said in favour of Dr. Williams' pink pills you would be astonished. But I referred particularly to members 'nf two professions j linked together not. for the first time. I mean the Church and the Stage. Clergymen have always been good friends of ours from the first, and quite a number of actors am! actresses have also let us know what thoy think of us." "I suppose it would he udelc-s to ask you whether you think the boom a good thine or not," said the Sun "but, frankly, if it is a fair question, how do YOU account for the craze'" "I am not sure that ? altogether like to bear you speak of it as a craze,'7 said the j manager, '• but, ais ail events, 1 do not hesitate to say that th-5 recognition we are obtaining is due frankly to the merit of tile pill. If YQU want to know the secret of it, I do not in the least i-,in(i tellirt- -fou. Dr. Williams, who is a qual.fifed physician, with a high Edinburgh University degree, gave the exact art cf preparation to a chemist of his own cit.7, simply to relieve himself of the necessity of continually compounding the peculi-vr drug which he found so wfficaciou* in such a large variety of cases. You see, he could wot write prescriptions for it, because it can nut be ore- i pared by an ordinary chcmist without a knewledge of the peculiar method of com- pounding discovered by Dr. WilliumH. For a loKg time Dr. Williams' pink pills ) had only a local reputation, spreading from patient LO UI1Llent. What has really attracted widespread attention to them, however, was the case of a man in a leaaing bCÐtlrlt socioty —the Royal Templars-who had been stricken with an ticaribie disease, bad been examined on behalf of the society by ten or twelve of the best ductol-F available, and pronounced abso- lutely incurable—so much so that tha benefit society paid bis death dues exactly as if lie kad been already dead." j This practically dead mar. was then j suddenly seen to be go;ng about quite hale anti | hearly. If that -L)r. pitik i pills were the means cf his cure. I started the bncna. It is about ten years age j now that this happened, and in that time the fame of the pills has extended to every country j in the world." "A similar case, but one that is even more remarkable, occurs to ico. George Hilton, a boiler-maker, of I, in coin, bad been discharged from the Boiler Makers' Society, the largest Trade Uniou in England, as permafiontly in curable, from kidney disoa.se. Tho full super- annuation allowance payable on the death of a member waa given to him, the society treating him as one who was, for all practical purposes, Dead. But. Mr. Biiton was led to take Dr. WilligLrll.47 pink pills, with the result that the three doctors who had certified to hi", incur- able condition were presently enabled to certify to his complete restoration to health, and he was actually re-o-cirvitted to th6 Society as a working member." Well, bnt," suggested the Sim man, you i do not suegest that the fashionaoie people who are so largely consuming your pills are oa the voree of death. They presumably take them as a tonio, or something of that kind? As a tonic, certainly," tho manager replied, tho pills aro not a purgative. You see, as tho pills are preved beyond any question to hare cured a large number of cases of really serious disorders paralysis, locomotor ataxy, consumption, rheumatic fever, sciatica, aud so forth, it ia obvior.s that in milder disorders they will act all tho more surely. They 'do cure the very worst cases the worst sufferers are our greatest ottlogi Its, Büt the severe cases encourage the people who are not so ili." "But, look here." said the Smi man. how can you pretend that one medicine will cure such differing complaints as you have named ? Yes, the symptoms are different," aid the manager, but it is not the symptoms with which Dr. Williams' pink pills deal. They cure the under-lying cause. Thore is the secret: this is what makes them different from other medicinas They have the power of materially increasing toe blood supply, and they tone up the nerves, airi particularly the spinal cord. To r.fce former qualify is due their unequalled efficacy i-.t anæmja, consump- ¡ I tion, and all wasting diseases; to the latter I the cures they have effected in paralysis, sciatica, nervous exhaustion, hysteria, and the I like. They make healthy flesh and warm, rich 1 biood, aytd they give new life to the nerves and spine But this sounds," be added, like a piece of prk-e for the goods I have to sell, or rather, which any chemist sells." I WoH." said the Sun man, advertising has Ii a geed deal to say to it. anyway, has it not?" Very likely," said tile matiager, but in realitv the spoken recommendation of the I people is the best advertisements we have, and we would rather give wp ai" our advertisements ¡ than dispense with that. We knew that people who take our pills speak well of them. As a matter of fact, there is a good deal of I what I may call mushroom advertising by ] people who. seeing what our succesf3 has been, think that they havo only to spend a csrtain I amount of monoy to get A similar business for themselves. They make all sorts ef crude and I ignorant allegations, sometimes not even grammatical, and attempt to create a sale for OŒü hapazard formula, claiming all sorts of I euros for it, and then they are surprised that they lose the money they itave spent in advertising such trash. It would have been perfectly useless for us to advertise as we have ti' if the mr-rifc of tho medicine had not I been plainly cridwnt right along. You call I the fashion for Dr. Williams' pink pills a t Society craz* I claina that it is not. but a. recognition of th'.ir real usef-il^aas. riocic-^y ladies who are antemic, sall«w and tired, ta e them fo-' tho eak^ of thtir beauty and hea Men who are wt.-voas, worried, and ^irf,«'ou*' j tMc them for 'nerves.' Both mantood and wemaubood aro imwiediaUlv and obviously bettered bv them. I do not call tha. a craze.
