A YOUTHFUL OFFENDER AT I COLWYN BAY. "A VERY DANGEROUS YOUNG MAN." MAGISTRATE AND POUCE STATEMEFfTS. What was possibly one of the worst cases heard in the Colwyn Bay Police t'.airt .01 >-ome time was heard 021 Monday, before Mr T. J. Vk at- kill Lumlev (in the chair) and Mr James Wood. Arthur James Friar, who gave his age as 18. a native of Ipswich, lately employed by Mr bhau- rach Evans, of the Park Stores, ( Bay, was brought up on remand charged with steal- ing a silver watch, and a m^tai chain, vaused &t" £ 2 10s, and a siik handkerchief and a pair of braces, valued at Is, all the property ol O-ven Lewis, employed by Mr to. Evans. There were four further counts,but only one was preferred-that of stealing £ 2 2., in monies, the property of Arthur Jones, an assistant with Mr Shadrach Evans. WITNESSES' LATE APPEARANCE. When the magistrates sat, the witnesses had not arrived, and the Chairman asked if they had been notified of the time, receiving a reply in the affirmative. They arrived a few minutes later, and Owen Lewis" the first whness required, said that he had come as soon as he could, To this the Chairman replied, "You should be here at 11.30. You have no business here "as soon as you can. When summoned to a Court of Justice you should be here to timo." The business of the Court was then proceeded with. The defendant was placed in the box and charged Oil the first count of stealing the watch and chain, silk handerkerchief, and braces. Owen Lewis, grocer's assistant, employed at the Park Stores, said he had known the defen- dant for about six weeks. He first, saw him at the Park Stores, when he came into Mr S. Evans' employment as a baker. On Saturday; June 20th, he missed lus watch and chain off the mantelpiece in the bedroom. The articles now produced were his property, and he valued them at E2 10s. He always left the watch on the mantelpiece. The bedroom was occupied by Fryer; Mr Parry, a baker, and himself. lie hist the watch on Saturday night when he went to bed. He slept in the room that night, but the acrused did not. When he missed his watch he searched all over the room, but could not find it. He reported it to Mr Evan*, and the boys, who also searched the room. Witness searched his (defendant's) drawer, but that was empty. He subsequently reported the matter to P.C. W. Evans (64). On Monday, he identified the articles produced by P.C. IT. Jones as his pro- perty. He had since discovered that he had lost a silk.handkerchief and a pair of braces. These he also now identified. Defendant said he had no questions to ask the witness. P.C. James Williams, stationed at Rhyl, said that on Sunday, June 21st, lie received instruc- tions from Inspector Pearson. Hlty], to be oil plain clothes duty, and proceeded in search of the defendant, who was wanted bv the Colwyn Bay police. He found him bv the Bee Hotel, in Bod- for-street, Rhvl, at about, 10 p.m. He took him to the police station, and asked him whether he knew what he was wanted for? Defendant, said. "Yes." He searched him, and found on him the watch and chain produced, JE2 10s in gold, two 2s pieces, and two pennies. He said lie was going to return the property and give himself up, as he passed through Colwyn Bay, only the place was clmpd, as it. was Sunday. The defended had no questions to ask, and smiled when the Chairman made a remark to the effect that the Rhyl Police Station was not closed on Sundays. Defendant later said: I meant to put it back, only I couldn't, sir, as the place was shut. P.C. H. Jones said that on Sunday, the 21st he made enquiries and circulated particulars amongst the police in the neighbourhood. In consequence of a letter found, which had been loft behind by the defendant, he asked the Rhvl police to keep under observation ;i certain estab- lishment in their town. On Mondav he received the defendant from the Rhvl police, and the articles mentioned bv the last witness. Being in plain clothes he told the defendant who he was, and that he would take him to Colwyn Bay, where he would be charged with stealing property found in his possession. I HAD TO DO IT. On the journey from Rhyl to CoJwyn Bay. pro- ceeded witness, the defendant asked me, "What is the amount of money taken?" "l p to now," he said, "I have had information that 1;3 4s is missing." Defendant said, "The-re's more than that. I took JE2 15s and some pence, because I bought this upper trousers out of them for 4s, at Carnarvon; and I have got a mark on it now. I also bought the straw hat which I am wear- ing, and 1 bought the walking-stick in Rhyl, last night. I don't know what made me do it. but somehow I had to do it. I may have done it the first day I came there, or perhaps it would be in twelve months' time. I am never downhearted. With the exception of Saturday, all the young men go up to change at tea time, b.ut they don't go on the Saturday, so they wouldn't miss the articles until it was late at night. I was soft to go to Rhyl. because I knew [ would be caught there with the girl. I knewr when I first saw her there the game was up, because she would not smile." Mr Lumley: Before you go any further let me ask you; Did you write down that statement? Witness: No, sir. The Chairman: You have a wonderful me- mory to remember it. Is it not usual to write down the statements of any person in custody?— I have been doing it, and als.) writing it after, when we are busy. The Chairman": I think that is no excuse; the statement should be taken down. Did you cau- tion the boy?—-No, sir. The Char man: Have you no instructions as to writing down the statements of prisoners? Mr Wood: What are your instructions? To write down at the first possible time. Mr Wood: That you have done ? Continuing, Witness said that on Monday, he charged defendant with stealing the articles in question, but he made no reply. Defendant: Did I say to you that I was never downhearted?—Yes, you did. In reply to the charge, defendant pleaded guiltv, and elected to be tried that day. SECOND CHARGE. The second charge of stealing JE2 2s was then proceeded with. Arthur Jones, an assistant, gave evidence as to missing 1;2 2s, which were in his clothes in a drawer. Defendant again pleaded guilty. At this stage the police intimated that the other charges would be withdrawn. The Chairman (to Mr Tippett): Before you give evidence of his previous convictions, I might ask his employer if ho knows anything about him. TAKEN OFF THE STREET. Mr Evans said: He carne to my employ in rather a strange way. He was on the road, and I took him on the recommendation of Mr Da- vies, foreman for Messrs Pryce Williams and Co., who sent him yonder. I told him he was a month too soon, but he presented a rather pitiful tale, and said it would do if I only fed him. I told him I had no work for him, but lie still kept talking to me, so I toid him to send Mr Davies to me; that I did not promise to give him work, but that I would recommend him to someone eke. Mr Davies came and told me that he .was a very good man, and had been with him in Fes- tiniog. °He said that if I could do anything for him it would be a' God-send for tho lad, or some- thing to that effect. I felt sorry for him, and thought it my duty to find him something to do, so I arranged to give him his food and 28 a week for a month, to do odd jobs. I found him a very good bov, and a good worker, and when Saturday came he had been so willing that I made up my mind to give him 4s, and got him a new suit of clothes. Out of the 43 a week, I gave him Is to spend, and kept 3s towards the clothes. I pro- mised him at the end of the month that he should go into the bakehouse. This I did, and gave him 8s a week, giving him 2s, and keeping the rest for clothes, etc. I found him very will- ing and a good workman. He told me he was from Ipswich, and I took him in on Mr Davies' recommendation. A BAD RECORD. Inspector Tippett said that in October, 1902, when his age was given as 16, defendant had been charged at Ipswich with embezzling various sums of money from his employer, and received eight strokes with the birch rod. On November 5th, 1903, at Ipswich, he was sent to an Industrial School, being beyond parental control. On the 24th January, 1907, at Ipswich, he was charged with breaking and entering a dwelling-hojpe, but tho charge was reduced to one of common lar- oony, and he was sentenced to three r ouths' laid labour, At Festiniog, on March 2-th, he was charged with stealing £ 2 10a from his lodgings, and received six weeks' hard labour. He had been in the Army for thirty-nine days, on tho special reserve, and was diseharged on February 29th, 1908. when his conduct and character were specially observed as being bad. The Chairman (to defendant); Yon hare heard the evidence against you, Have you aajthinj to I say? -Net, i'" I You have heard what the police nave said? All true, sir. The Chairman: You have pjeaded guilty to two charges of robbery, which there is no excuse two charges of robbery, which there is no excuse for you to commit. Your character is a thorough- I ly bad one, and you are a very dangerous young man to be at large. You have betrayed the kind- ness of ."our employer, who took you in out of pity. You are sentenced on the first charge to I three months' hard labour, and on the second, to three liii-d labour, to run consecu- tively, which means six month. in all.

CONWAY COUNTY COURT. THE ABER HOTEL CASE. POSSESSION OF A LLANDUDNO FARM- HOUSE. iftTERE&TIKG COLWYN BAY CASES. His Honour Judge lbss presided (over (iuij court t-o-(lay wuek. ABER HOTEL CASE The interpleader Action adjourned by hi Honour at the last aimng uf tha court at Llandudno was r -e resumed, it related tu the posseeswn af furniture and stock at ilio, Aijer ilytel, tenanted by Mrs Louisa '.Vu.lker, wite rJt David Walker, described a-s a gentle- mail of independent msmia, wbu held property situ- aim close by. which had been converted into a biscuit factory, aud against wUoni there wera claims with respect to the education uf a daughter at the 1'enrhos Uollege, Colwyn Bay, and by Messrs li.ter and El- cock, arclutects, Colwvn Bay, for work carried out in connection with the conversion of the biscuit work.; At the previous court it transpired that the Sheriff's Officer has seized certain furnii ure and stock at the hotel on "almt of these deul3, but Mrs Walker, who had filed her petition, was said to be the owner of all the household effects and steck, and that Mr Walker was merely a lodger at the Intel. Mr IJcwelyn Hugh Jones, the Official Receiver, who appeared in his oiSciaJ capacity to (iciell(i tt, wife's I tltle, iww informed his Honour that since the Llan- dudno ecurt a good deal had happened. I11 the first place, a receiving order had been made against David NIV-,xil,or. Uiidor the circumstances, the execution creditors could get no advantage from their eX""II1.i"ll and, therefore, all ot what might he called the merits ot the claim hud gone. The ipie-ciun now arising wa» how the asset.- could be divided amongst the credi- tors, having regard to the tangle :nto which the new receiving order proceedings had rendered matters. His Honour asked whether there was any possibility of a consolidation of the estateii in bankruptcy. Mr Harding (counsel for the Penrhos College, Co., Ltd.), and Mr Jarces AmplUett (for Messrs Porter and K:cock), and Mr tlugh Jones discussed the technical points of tit" pnsitLn at considerable ICf1gth, and at his Honour's suggestion, they eventually agreed to consider bstween themselves during the luncheon in- terval the best arrangement with a view to settle- ment. In due course Mr Hngh Jones intimated that he and his learned friends had agree! upon the following arrangement, subject to his Honour's approval That tho interpleader proceedings .hould be stayed that c-2ts exi,ellse, ilie ,f seized animals) be taxed and paid out of the estate of David Walker; that the (if the execution creditors as frc-:n the date of the interim order against 1/avid Wa:ker should be (;.il out of-David Walkers estate, and the costs up to thai date should be added to their debts and submitted against the estite of David Walker; that the costs of the Official Heceiver's interpleader prneeedmg, and in carrying 0:1 the hotel and holding possession of the assets from the date of the imerim rcctlnng order against Mrs D. Walker to the date of the appointment of tUe trustee of David Walker should be paid out oi the estate of David Walker. His Honour said he considered this a very proper settlement and lie made an order accordingly.

POSSESSION OF A LI.AXDUDXO FAHMHOl'SK. A. Gardener Pugii, chartered accountant, Llan- dudno, and another brought au action ugainst Ed. Williams, of l'y Ccha Farm, part of the Mustyn Es- tate, Llalldud!w, for possession of the Ty Leha Farm- house. Mr K. li Bone (for the plaintiffs) explained that the defendant formerly tcuanted tile lurui ac the annual rental of £ 104. At this point, defendant, who pieaded his own case, said he must protest against proceeding with tho case 011 the ground that the court liau no juris- diction. The Judge You can tell me all about that again. Continuing, Mr Bone said that oil Novemb r itllh, the defendant executed a deed of assignment of his estate to Mr l'ugh tor the benefit of his creditors, the ealatt; including all his real und pcrsonal pro perty, except his wcacjng apparel and leasehold. A lew "days afterwards the trustee (Mr Pugli) arranged with hiai that the defendant should manage the farm and carry oil the business for Mr Pugh at a salary of £1, and the use of the farmhouse, Mr JPugh bear ing the household and other expenses in connection with the farm. On March 6th, the trustee agreed tv sell the estate uf the defendant, including his inter- est in the tenancy of Ty t- cila Farm, to Mr Eaward Junes, the present co-plaintiff. On the following day a notice was served upon Williams to give up pos- session of tric farm and stock to Mr Edward Jones. He expressed his intention to refuse to give up the I farm, bm Jones took possession of the outbuildings of the farm, which were still in his keeping, (hough the defendant occupied the farmhouse and refused to quit it. At. that timo defendant was otfered by the trustee, un condition that he gave up possession of the farmhouse, the furmture left in the house to the value of about £;30 as a present. He refused to ac- cept that, and he (Mr Bone) wrote subsequently re- newing the offer which was again rejected. He re- fused to leave at that time, but some time afterwards, he, it was alleged, endeuvoured to remove the furni- ture at three a.m., but the trustee was fortunately able to intercept, and he reclaimed the goods, seeing how the defendant had previously dealt with him over the matter. Evidence was given substantially bearing out this statement and Wiliiams cross-eiamined the witness at some length. Eventually his Honour said it was perfectly clear that Williams had been unfortunate in business, but he had obviously agreed to the deed of assignment which he should of course abide by. From the let- ters put in', Lord Mostyn's agents had treated him with every leniency. They had offered to help him and to reinstate him in possession of the farm, but defendant had done nothing t) meet the position. Moreover, the furniture, whicli had been offered him was not his and would have been a free gift from the trustee. He made an order for full possession within seven days, but as there had been no serious dllma- ges, he would reduce the amount to a nominal pen- alty of one shilling.

COLWYN BAY CASES. A LADY'S DEBT. An application was made for the variation of an order made against Mrs Eliirf Lover, of Tanybryn, Colwyn Ilay. with regard to an account for 1;14 5" said to be originally due to Messrs Parry and Williams, decorators, etc., of Sea View-crescent, Colwyn Bay, for work done at Tanybryn. Mr Bernard Lowe (Messril Nunn and Co.), who appeared for the judgment debtor, said his client was a married woman whose income consisted of her life interest in about C3000 under a marriage settlement; the use of Tanybryn, which was let furnished from tilHP. to time; and interest in certain collieries which sometimes paid a dividend and sometimes did not. Out of that she had to pay JB130 per annum in rates, ground rent, the expense of keeping up the gardens, etc., in connection with Tanybryn; £ 75 per annum towards the maintenance of her step- daughter who, unfortunately, was an inmate of an asylum; £ 20 per quarter in repayment, of a loan of longstanding and other items. The net result was that she had barely enough income to keep herself and her husband, and it was im- possible for her to pay the amount claimcd at once. Mr T. II. Morgan (for Messrs Parry and Wil- liams) argued that Mr Lowe's statement was sufficient to prove that the debtor had means to pay at any rate some amount. He had asked his friend to make same offer. His Honour: Is there any proposal made? Mr Lowe: The debtor is unable to make the payment. As I have said she has barely enough to keep her husband and herself. Mr T. II. Morgan: I understand the house is let at present. Mrs Lever: Yps, from Tuesday last. Mr Morgan: How much do you get for it ? Mrs Lever: £ 13 2s weekly, but it is only for five weeks. Mr Morgan I can't say how far her income may go. It is ?o difficult to get at the facts. Mr Lowe: 1 am one of the trustees of the estate myself, and I shall be prepared to give evidence "upon tho issue as to her position. Tho Judge: I will make a now order of 15a ner month. IiHOS RESIDENT SUED. James Booth, of Cooper-street, Manchester, sued William Booth, who described himself as a retired printer, formerly of Manchester, but now ¡ resident at ATenara, Rlios-road, Rhos-on-iSe a, for £ 14 said to be half-year's rent on a house he formerly occupied in Moss-lane, Manchester. Mr James Amphlefct (Messrs Porter. Amphlett and Jones) was for the plaintiffs, who alleged t.iat deffrndant had failed to carry out his agreement of tenancy. For the defence Mr T. H. Morgan contended that there had been no agreement. His Honour gave judgment in plaintiffs lavour for the full amount. SHEEP TRESPASS AT COLWYN BAY. Mr R. E. Birch, of Bryn Euryn Farm, Cohvyn Bav, sought to recover from Mr David Me to, of Kirbrvde, Tanvbryn-road, Col wyn Bay, the sum of 83 13s 6d for certain grazing, Mr MeKle counter-claiming JE:3 5s on account of damage alleged to aave been done to his lawn and grounds by Mr Birch's sheep. i Mr Jam,* Amphlett (for Mr Birch) explained that the a.nount of claim less 8s 6d had into oouvt, and tho counter-claim was the only thing row in dispute.. Mr S A. Cwrt.be. for Mr McKie, said that with regard to tho counter-datm ^e damfffo had been dvne bv the trespassing of Mr Bircli s sheep on Jun-, 16th and 27th. Hia ohont was the owner ,<=>1 a mansion and grounds attached, situated hi Tunybryn-road, the land being pur chiued K lit years ago from the Cayiey ustait-, Nvhic!ll Mr Birch acted an egonh According to ihp conditions 0/ sale the land formed of a large field, and the sheep complained of grazed on the remaining part nf the iieid. His client had agreed to build walls not more iltatt 4fr. 6in. high round his property, but &s a matter of fact tho walls he did build practically' averaged 5ft. 6in. high fill round. Tha amount claimed for the damage done was Very Small and reasonable. The only question Was as to how the sheep trespassed. Mr McICie rzi -1-d That Mr Birch, for tho purpose of watering hia cattle, had fixed two water troughs or tank* abutting on the defendant's boundary wall, Ona end of the tanks was covered over to a ccriain extent with iron sheeting, and the sheep were in the habit in hot weather of getting into the tanks and wading through them. Their marks had been seen after they had jumped from tho tank over the boundary wall into Mr McKie's garden. Mr AmpLIrtti: If those sheep got over the wall in the way you muggeft-froin off the tanks-f shall at once agree that we are liable. If not, then we are not liable. Mr Crabbe: Very well, we will join issue upon that. 1 say they did get over that way. David McKie, spoke to getting up and finding from 20 to 30 sheep trampling all over his garden on the morning of June 16th. He took particular notice that his front entrance gates were closed at the time, whilst marks of the animals were plainly discernible after coming over the wall by means of the tanks on the far side. Tho wall at that point was 5ft. 6in. high on the held side, but only about 14 inches high on the garden side. The distance from the top of the tank to the top of the wall waa 2ft, while the width of the tank, which was covered at one end, was 2ft. Joseph Wood, a gardener in Mr McKie's em- ploy, ga Ie corroborative evidence as to tee^pass on June 17th, and added. that on June 27th he had also seen four of the sheep in the grounds. For Mr Birch. Mr Amphiett spoke at some length contending that it was impossible for any sheep, Welsh or any other breed, to leap over the wall from off the tank as suggested. lIe. submitted that the sheep had entered through Mr McKie's entrance gates, and that they had gained egress from the iield through a crap leading into tho roadway made by Mr McKie's servant, emphasi- sing the fact that since sortie wire netting had been fixed over the gap no trespass had been committed by the sheep. William Cragg. of Bryn Euryn Farm; John Jones, a shepherd formerly in Mr Birch's employ, but now f -i Owen Pritdmrd. of Glanwern Fsrm. Colwyn Bay; and G. Edwin Cragg expressed the opinion that it would have been impossible for the sheep to gain an entrance to the gardens as suggested by Mr McKie. His Honour decided for Mr McKie for the full amount counter-claimed, and said he had no reason to suppose that the witness Wood and the defendant (McKie) had come there with a con- cocted story. He (the Judye) did not care what breed the sheep were, but he thought- tJ¡(. would be well able to .spring a height of 2ft. 6in, which was the distance from the tank to the top of the garden wali. He knew to his sorrow that sheep were able to do the apparentiy impossible at times (laughter).

ST. ASAPH (DENBIGH) RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. COUNTY COUNCIL'S HANDS TOO FULL. The monthly inofitifj of thu Council wna held on Fridav, Mr W. Jones presiding. WATF.lt SUPPLY AT LLANDDULAS. During a discussion a* to tin: need of a water supply tile F. Roberts made a remark to the effect that it wsm by no means comforting u) the ratepayers to gee how their money was spent upon public buildings in ano- ther part of the county. >n view of the pressing need for s«me outlay nearer to their own doors. On the propositi .n of Mr Thomas Kvans. the matter was deterred pending the presentation of the, report on the recent medical inspection oi the district by a Local Government Hoard official. NEW BRIDGE AT l.LAJsJfKFYDD. An agreement wa., entered ini" wiLh the CMunty Council for the er;,("1 ¡.nl oi a bridge over the iliver Asa, at Llannefydd, at an estimated cost of £11,0, half n of which will be found t! the County Council. It wa* stated that a specification and bill-of quan- tities had been prepared in connected with the scheme, and tenders had been invited, but none had been SPlit. it. I After some discussion on the matter, it was de- cided t<» advertise afresh for tenders. SANITARY MATTERS AT TRF.FNANT, The Council had under consideration a letter from Mr A. P. Richardson, Hafod, Trefnant, complaining of an alleged nuisance ia connection with the sewar Oiillft at Trefnant. The Sanitary Inspector (Mr E. 0. ¡'l.ns" presented an exhaustive report on the subject, and submitted that Mr Richardson had no cause for complaint. ¡ It was decided to communicate the Sanitary Inspec- tor's view of the matter to Mr Richardson. COUNTY COUNCILS HAVE TOO MUCH TO DO. A letter was reSod from the Rural District Councils I Association asking this Council to support (tie Housing Bill now before Parliament. It was explained that the Bill proposed to strengthen thn hands of rural authorities in regard to building matters, but (hat in certain quarters there was a strong agitation for the transfer of building powers for rural areas k> the County Councils. The Rev. O. F. Roberts, in proposing a resolution, in support of the Bill, said it was uijly too clear to County Councils. The Rev. O. F. Roberts, in proposing a resolution, in support of the Bill, said it was uijly too clear to many that County Councils had their hands full, if not too full already. They should guard against anytiifag that tended to place the work of the county in the hands of a few officials, and should do all they could to discourage the idea of having the county managed by a caucus. mrThomas Evana Quite i¡;h The motion was agreed t. INSURING THE WORKMEN. A discussion took place ui)iii a motion by the Rev. C. F. Roberts that the Council insure the work- men in t-heir employ against risks under the Compen- sation Act. Private individuals, he said, had on every hand safeguarded themselves ia respect to this measure; and they as a Council should be equally prudent, otherwise they might sime day be involved in very heavy liability. The Oerk (Mr Chas. Grimsley) said lie drew the Council's attention to the matter Just before the Act came into force, but it was allowed to drop. Tho annual o>st of insuring all the workmen in the Coun- cil's service would be between £ 4 and £ .j. It was decidd t<> insure the' workmen. THE I.'LA.VKAIR WATEii LOAN. A letter was read from the Public Works Loan Board stating that they had decided t/i grint a loan of XI.Wid for carrying out 'Llanf:ortalhaiarn sewerage and water scheme, the money to be repaid in iK ears with 3t per cent, intere.it. It was reported that the work was proceeding very satisfactorily. HKALTH RKPOKT. A clean bill of health was submitted by the Medical Officer (Dr. J. Lhoyd Roberts), who said lie hail noth- ing further to report at present 111 regard to the affairs of tho district. TREFNANT SCHOOL'S WATER SUPPLY. It was reported that tenders for improving the water supply at Trefnant School, had been sent in as follows:Mr W. H. Jones. Abergele, £ 2-1 l.< J!r I. Jones, Treuicirehion, £ 19 7s .d Mr P. Williiini>. Den- bigh, A:16 3d lid. The lowest tender was provisionally accepted. SANITARY REPORT. The Sanitary Inspector reported having made ar- rangements for gauging the water at Nant-v-i'lum, the proposed source of supply for I'¡al1.lIlllalJ; and the cost would he 2s 6d per week. The report to the unsatisfactory quality of ,h.. water at Trefnant applied also to the Lland'dtilu district. HI" had met the trustees of ths Wesleyan Chapel Cottages at P.eitws-yn-Rhos, and explained to them the Council's re p'.irements in regard to the sanitation of the pre- mises, He had since been informed that the pro- perty would be put in a sunitaiy condition at an eaj-'r Hate. Several other properties in the parish were in need of improvement from a sanituy standpoint.

MADDENING SKIN IRRITATION. TWELVE YEARS' SUFFERING FROM ECZEMA. A small insignificant-looking rash on her hand was Mra Annie ltockell's beginning of twelve years' fearful suffering from eczema, that was conquered only by Zam-Buk. Mrs Rockell, who lives at M, Connaught-road, West Ealing, W., interviewed by a London re- porter, said:—'About twelvo years ago eczema broke out on my hand: and from then until two or three months ago, I was never free from the dreadful complaint. It first started as a sort of rash on my hands, and then gradually extended right up my arllls to the elbows., it was so bad that my arms became like raw meat■ I could do no work, and many, many nights I had to walk about incessantly, unable to sleep for the burning, irritating pam. "I got so weak that even moving about be- came impossible, and had to take to iny bed- This seemed about the last straw, and I was in despair. I had been to doctors who gave me medicines, lotions, and ordinary ointments, but without tho slightest good effect. "At last I was strongly advised to try Zam- Buk. Tho very first application brought relief, and to my groat delight I enjoyed a good night's rest. Zam-B-uk s>as so beautifully soothing that it zvas a perfect pleasure to USe it. That gave me confidence, and I went on using Zam Buk with such results as I had hardly dreamed of. The fierce burning disease gradually died away, and within two months from the day I started with Zam-Buk, my hands and arnis were all free from pain and disfigurement and as firm and paln white as they were before the disease attacked me. People who knew mo have some difficulty in believing that I am the same person." At this season Zam-Buk is invaluable as a pure herbal remedy for all forms of skin irrita- tion.
