Ulcers for 60 Years. Terrible Results of a Dog-Bite. English and American Doctors Helpless. Miraculous Cure by Zam-Buk. Ax extraordinary triumph for Zam-Buk ha just been investigated by a reporter of the "Birmingham Sunday Echo." It appears that Mrs Minett, of 24, Sloane- street, Parade, Birmingham, suffered with chronic ulceration of the leg for more than sixty years, and she recently experienced a miraculous hea.ling by Zam-Buk. She says:— "When a child of eight. I was bitten on the leg by a dog. A doctor cauterised the place, and a piece of flesh taken from my shoulder was grafted into the wound, but it never healed up soundly. 'W hen a young woman I was being continu- ally attended by the doctors. Sometimes my leg would appear better for a few dare, but only to break out into running sores worse than ever. I went into service, but had to leave for a Suffolk hospital, and for over three years an in-patient and out-patient by turn. I received no benefit. After I married, my leg continued to trouble me. At times the pain was almost unbearable, and I could never "get 'proper rest at u-glus. I flied all sorts of remedies from the chemists, but could find no relief. "This sort of thing went on year after year. I was always in pain, and the sore discharged continually. Twelve months ago I went to America to see my daughter, and during the voyage I had to keep my bed. The ship's doc- tor gave me a plaster, which I had to take oS again, as it made the pain so intense. In Pro- vidence several medical men said nothing could ever do it any good. When I returned to Birmingham I went to the Dispensary for three months, but all to no purpose. "One day my youngest daughter brought home a sample box of Zam-Buk, and induced me to try it. With the first application I seemed to find ease, and further treatment with Zam-Buk did me so much good that I sent for a proper supply. One full box com- pleted the cure, and my leg has not troubled me since. The cure is absolutely complete. and my general health is better than 't ever was, too." Zam-Buk is unfailing in cases of ulcers, bad legs, inflammations, rashes, eruptions, diseased ankles, sore backs, poisoned or festering sores, cold-sores, piles, eczema, scalp diseases, "pim- ples, ringworm, running sores, chapped hands, chilblains, colds and chills, chafed skin, cuts, burns, and all injuries to, or diseases of the skin. All chemists sell Zam-Buk in Is ld and 2s 9d boxes (2s 9d size contains nearly four times as much as the Is ld); or post free from the Zam-Buk Co., Red Cross-street., London, E.G.

Llandudno Amatjeurs v. Colwyn Bay. (iNortli Wales Coast League.) (By "SCORCHER.") Played at L land udno before a fair number of spectators. The home team were minus J. E. Williams and Alflerson, their places being taken by Brookes Evans and Marsh. Colwyn Bay were without .Tack Owen and W. T. Jones. The teams lined up as follows :-Llandudno: J. T. Williams; C. Roberts and J. Lunt; Will Roberts, G. Davies, and Marsh: D. Griffith. Brookes Evans, Jacob Williams, W. Owen, and Hotelikiss. Colwyn Bay: Hughes; Campbell and Tom Jones; Ned Griffith, Downes, and O. E. Wil- liams; Wellings, .Reckless, T. McCann, Will Jones, and J. LI. Owen. Referee: Mr Jones, Llanrwst. Llandudno won the toss, and elected to kick into the town goal. From the kick-off the visitors got away, but Lunt cleared. A foul against lL Owen let the Bayites in. McCann shooting wide. D. Griffith then got hold, and raced away, centreing nicely, but Jacob beaded behind. The visitors' left wing were next prominent, Owen shooting well in, and Wil- liams clearing. From a "hands" against Downes, Jacob got possession, and passed to Brookes. Evans also shot over the bar when in a nice position. A pretty run by Wellings resulted in his centre going abegging. and Lunt cleared. Hotchkiss raced away. and put in a beauty, which Huglies cleared in fine style. The visitors next made an onslaught on the Amateurs' goal, Wellings shooting and Wil- liams clearing, and a moment later McCann put behind. The home left pair went right down the field. Hotchkiss forcing a corner and Marsh kickigg behind. From a throw-in, W. Owen got hold, and passed to Hotchkics, who opened the scoring with a nice shot. The homesters continued to press, and Hotchkiss raced away and centred, Jacob being pulled up for being offside. The visitors' front rank went away in line, and Williams, in making a feeble attempt to clear, allowed Reckless to equalise. At this juncture Will Jones had to, leave the field, having hurt his knee. The Amateurs now made a raid on the visitors' goal, forcing a corner, which Hotchkiss placed nicely, Brookes Evans heading in. Will Owen now retired hurt. Half-time: Llandudno, 2; Bay, 1. From the re-start Llandudno forced a cor- ner, which Campbell cleared. Owen and Jones took down, the former centreing, hut W. Roberts kicked well up the field. D. Griffith then shot across the goalmouth, Tom Jones averting the danger. Wellings now got away, and passed to McCann, the latter heading over. Colwyn Bay continued to press, and forced a corner, from which Wellings made the scores level. The visitors; left now took up the run- ning, and Lunt, in attempting to clear, per- formed a clever acrobatic feat, to the huge delight of the spectators. Hotchkiss next showed up. and after tricking several of the visitors he put behind. Play was now trans- ferred to the other end, McCann shooting over the bar. From this to the end both teams tried hard to obtain the lead, and the whistle sounded, with the score: Llandudno, 2; Colwyn Bay, 2. Notes and Comments. It will be remembered these teams were drawn together at Llandudno to play their Amateur Cup Tie, which resulted in a draw of two goals each, and the replay at Colwyn Bay was a victory for the home team by the odd goal out of nine, extra time being played-, so it was quite natural that great excitement prevailed when these old rivals met to play their League match at Llandudno, and on the day's play both teams earned and deserved a point each. For the home team Williams in goal was very shaky. Roberts and Lunt at back per- formed splendidly. Of the halves G. Davies was the pick. D. Griffith was somewhat han- dicapped, his partner (Brookes Evans) not com- ing up to expectations. As centre forward, Jacob Williams was out of place. although he did a lot of useful headwork. Hotchkiss and W. Owen make a fine left wing, the former taking first position on Saturday's form. For the Bayites the defence played a sound game, with the exception of Downes, who must be excused, he, by taking the responsibility of instructing certain of the players, Jiaving little time left to play himself. Wellings and McCann, in the front rank; were in fine form, while Owen and Will Jones on the left wing did a lot of useful work.

Blaenau Festiniog v. Holyhead. (North Wales Coast League.) A Home Defeat for the Quarrymen. rDy "VIGILANT."] The reputation which the Holyheadites are gaining for being worthy members of the League is weekly increasing, for they play a good sound game and keep their engaements to the letter. It is no small journey for the Anglesey men to make from Holyhead to the Quarry town, and this necessitates an early start; and what is meritorious on their part is that they always endeavour to take a fully representative team. Such was the case on Saturday, when these rivals met for the first time in the League, with the prospects of a stiff encounter. One hardly likes to complain much as to the state of the ground of struggling clubs, but I really think that the committee of the Festiniog Club should endeavour to have their ground improved by draining and levelling. In bad weather it is simply awful for teams accustomed to better grounds. The advent of the Festiniog men into League circles was the subject of much encouragement at the commencement of the season, and not- withstanding the prejudice that is rampant in the Quarry town amongst certain faJHdists against the game, I wish them every success and encouragement. The Festiniog men have greatly improved since I last saw them, as I expected experience with better class players would mellow their crude methods. There was a very good attendance when Mr Albert Hughes, of Llanrwst, marshalled the players into the following order:— Blaenau Festiniog^ .Goal, E. Hughes; back6, H. LI. Rowlands, W.KWeirion Jones; halves, Griffith Roberts, E. W. Hughes, Rd. Jones; forwards, Dick Roberts, W. Rowlands, Jack Jones, E. Hughes, R. Roberta. Holyhead: Goal. Collier; backs. Conlan and Ellis; halves, Taylor, W. Jones and T. Thomas; forwards, H. Roberts, W. Brown, O. B. Ed- wards, H. Jones, and H. Brown. The Game. Festiniog won the toss and played towards the town goal, with a breeze to aid them. Edwards kicked off with a hum of excitement amongst the large crowd, and it was soon seen that Holyhead were going to make the best of the disadvantage of the wind, for they got down nicely towards E. Hughes in a few min- utes, aifd caused the home defence to be put to a strain. The short, nippy passing of the Anglesea men was in great contrast to the wilder methods of the Quarrymen. Getting up nicely on the left, H. Brown managed to defeat Hughes with an accurate shot, amidst dead silence. This did not please the crowd, and to the accompaniment of encouraging shouts the Holyhead defence had its work cut out, for the Quarrymen, if less methodical, were equally as determined as their opponents. Keeping up the pressure, and after some wide attempts, Jack Jones managed to equalise with what was rather a soft shot. Give-and-take play ensued for some time, a couple of opponents revelling in a miniature ditch on one part of the "field," to the great amusement of the onlookers. The home left gained an advantage. and Dick Roberts was prominent with his runs, and this at length culminated in his sending in a speedy grounder, which found its place in the extreme corner of the net, quite deceiving the wily Collier. Elated at thus having the lead, the homesters pressed might and main, and Collier was seen judiciously placing a hot shot trom Jack Jones over the bar. The corner amounted to nil, and was badly taken. Getting to the other end, the Anglesea men made pretty and combined move- ments, and a good long shot fell dead in the slush and awaited removal 'by someone. Hughes managed to get there first and cleared the danger. It was quite evident that no grounder would go through at this end. but a high shot and a regular tough struggle took place in the Festiniog goal mouth, but luck smiled on the Quarrymen, and when the ball was at length cleared a round of applause was given by the spectators. The sound of voices singing a hymn at this period fell on the ears of the spectators. It appears the funeral of the poor man killed in the Oakley Quarry during the week was pro- ceeding past the ground on its way to Beth- esda Cemetery. The game was therefore- sus- pended for ten minutes while the ceremony was on. The game, on being resumed, was of a very even nature, and half-time arrived without the score being altered, which stood Festiniog, 2; Holyhead, 1. The Quarrymen opened the second 11a1£ well, and were busily making tracks towards Collier, but Conlan and Ellis defended coolly and well. The Anglesea men were showing again their superior tactics in passing, and O. B. Edwards made a delightfully brilliant run through all opposition and equalised with an unerring shot. The game after this was most stubbornly contested, and the heavy sodden ground caused many a miskick and slip. However. W. Brown ere Ion,- managed to defeat Hughes and give the Angleseaites the lead, and in a short period afterwards a fourth was coolly put on. A feeling of defeat per- meated the spectators for a long while until one of the Sir Fonites gave a penalty, and this was taken by Crock" Roberts, who man- aged just to defeat Collier. The remaining portion of the game saw the .Meirion men struggle hard to get level, and in an onslaught on Collier, who ran out to defend one of the other players backed into the goal and handled. Another penalty given and lost, for poor old "Crock" failed to score on this second attempt. And so the game ended in a defeat of the Sons of Meirion by the following score: Holyhead, 4; Festiniog, 3.
