A YEARNS AGONY FROM PILES. Lost Hia Place and Became Wasted, Sensational Cure by Zam-Buk. MIl. Jas. Foster, of 5, Mona Street, Myrtle Street, Liverpool, experienced all the worst mis- eries of blooding piles, and could get no relief until he tried Zam-Buk. Ever since, Mr Foster has been a complete stranger to the pain, and ihas euro hoe proved oonipjei-e and lasting. Mr F-oitar told a local ,reporte.r :—"Five years ago I bfcgan to ben troubled with bleeding' piles. For a long time I bore my suffering- in silence, all the time trying to cure myself with ointments a.nd other prepaxatiotio from the chemist. But I gradually got worse. ilThe constant torturing pain, sleepless nightsf and loss of blood made me so weak and ill that at last I was ocxmpeikd to consult a doctor, who advised complete rest, and gave me ointments and medicine. But the piles got so bad that the doctor said an operation would be necessary. Many a night the pain was so terrible tihat I could not lie down or nit downt but walked about my room the whodo night long'. "I am an hotel servant, and had to leave many good situations, for the pain made me so weak and ill that I oould not attend to my duties. I was -almost worn to a, Shadow with suffering. "I had been ill fully twelve rocaiths, and seemed f urtlier tihan ever from a cure, when my mo&er &en± me a box of z. a.m-B uk, together with a description of a cure in just such another case as mine. Just to please my mother I tried Zam-Buk, and to my surprise <-ud delight the first dressings with this crure balm eased the pain and inflammation so much that I got a full night's rest. After such an encouraging start I oontinuod to use Zam-Buk regularly The in- flammation subsided like magic, and the pile tumours healed up and dis.appeared in an as- tonishing- manner. I never lost a night's rest or a day's work after commencing with Zam- Buk In a few weeks all my tr'oubles had van- ished."

GOOD TEMPLARISM AT COLWYN BAY. ADDRESS BY THE GRAND CHIEF TEMPLAR. THE RECTOR OF RHOSCOLYN ON THE LICENSING BILL'S FATE. A well-attended public meeting under the auspices of the recently-resuscitated Pioneer" Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Tem- plara was held in the Lecture Hall, Colwyn Bay, to-day week. Mr J. Thompson, J.P., presided, and was sup- ported by the Revs. J. A. Reea, B.A., rector of Rhcecolyn, Anglesey (Grand Chief Templar), Thomas Lloyd, and H. T. Cousins. The Chairman, in a few introductory remarks, spoke of the long connection his own family had had with the Order, and said ho was pleased that the branch, since its resuscitation in Colwyn Bay, had made good progress. So far, they were 6Q in number, but anticipated an increase to 100 be- fore the Now Year (applause). The Roy. J. A. Rees, who then addressed the meeting, said it was hardly necessary to point out that the principles upon which the Order was based were in every seme of the word excellent and desirable in the highest interests of temper- ance and sobriety. They, therefore, demanded the active support and sympathy of all sections of the community. He hoped that the day was not far distant when the Order would bring to it a considerable number of public men, men of influence, education, and business aptitude. As Good Templars they seemed to keep themselves too much to themselves, and the result was that they very often failed in the acquisition of new members. What was wanted throughout the Principality was to bring the principles of the Order more prominently before the public, and this could best be done by increasing the number of public meetings. Active and extensive pro- paganda work was absolutely necessary if the Order was to make any heachvay in Wales. A perusal of the quarterly programmes of Lodges under WeLsh jurisdiction disclosed the fact that very few open sessions were held during the autumn and winter. The Lodge that did not. regularly and consistently undertake mission work of that kind must of necessity languish and eventually close its doors. Another experience of his was that Lodge meetings were not made in- teresfcmg and attractive enough with the result that members drifted away, and were entirely lost. The Chief Secretary's report for the year disclosed THE DISTRESSING FACT that 1348 members had withdrawn from the Order during 1907. He held that this was due to unattractive programmes, and the introduction at times of bad feeling. If the Order was to be a power for good, the officers and members must work together, with an absence of jealousy. It would be a glorious thing if, as Good Templars and temperance workers generally, they could be so filled with the object, of their heaven-born mission as to lose) sight of self entirely, and to keep before their eyes the reclaiming of the beer traffic. An upward movement in the Order was reported all along the line. The reports he had received were encouraging, and he was in- clined to believe that the day was not far distant when Good Templary in Wales would be as in- fluential and numerically strong as 15 or 20 years ago. It was the only t, organisation throughout the world which taught and em- phasised the Fatherhood of God and the brother- hood of men. It was essentially a democratic movement, and had been on the advance in this country sinoe its inception forty years ago. It had its origin in America, the land of great things, some fifty years ago, and since then its growth had been phenomenal. To-day, there were 660,000 members in 12,500 branches. The Order was doing a lot of work in spreading the light and educating the people to see tjiai the drink traffic in the country was a national curse. It was one of the few organisations which, in additicn to advocating total abstinence, advocated prohibition. He was convinced that the advanced state of public opinion on the temperance ques- tion, as evidenced in the lato Licensing Bill, and the ovsrwhelmintr support the Bill received, was due in a great measure to the tem- porance education work which had been carried on in Lodges up and down the land. The Order had strongly sup- ported tlie Government's Licensing Bill by hold- ing pnblie meetings, and at present was busy t holding mr-ciir>g3 of protest against the imfor- tunate action of tho House of Lords in throw- ing out that; measure of social *?rm. As yet they had only touched the fri: L i the temper- anco question, and a great d.¡ of uphill work still remained to be done if the country was to be entirely freed from the drink traffio. The work was made more difficult in consequence of the rejection of the excellent Licensing Bill of the Government. There was no gainsaying the fact that the Bill, in every sense of the word, was a desirable measure for the moral improve- ment of the people of the country. They were sorry, owing to the UNSCRUPULOUS AND UNFAlB ATTACKS of the trade and othsxs, upon the Licensing Bill, that the Government, for the time being, had failed in its laudable and courageous effort to solve that great social problem. They were pre- pared, he was sure, to show their gratitude by creating a healthy public opinion in favour of temperance reform, and thus make it for ever impossible for the House of Lords to go against the wiahas of the people. It was not necessary for him to dilate upon the influence of strong drink, but it was sufficient for them to realise that they had to face the most critical juncture in the history of the country, and that a Govern- ment that attached such a oombination of in- terests from a social, moral, and religious stand- point was worthy of the whole-hearted support and sympathy of a Christian people. The Bill was not so alarming and terrible a their ene- mies had tried to make out. It only proposed to rezno*e the redundant public-houses from the con- gœt8d areas of cities and towns, and the restora- tion to the State after a given period of the mono- poly value of all licences. Both friend and foe were agreed that the object of this measure was in every way excellent and desirable in the in- terests of the country. The efforts of statesmen belonging to both political parties had been from time to time concentrated in that direction. For centuries, responsible heads of Governments had realised that fewer public-houses meant fewer temptations. It passed their comprehension bow a body like the House of Lords gave a eafe pas- sage to Balfour's Bill and yet refused the pre- sent Bill a similar passage. Before they could secure a passage for their measure they must redouble their efforts in educating the people in temperance principles and reforms. They were told they could not make men sober by Act of Parliament. That was true, but an Act could do much to help a man to make himself sober. He did not expect, had the Bill been put on the Statute Book, that the country would have be- come temperate all at once, but it would have done much to promote temperance and to have made the people as sober as they were free. If the Bill had been passed, they would only have looked upon it as the first instalment in the so- lution of this great social problem. PROHIBITION IN ANGLESEY. Since he had been in Anglesey he had real- ised to the full the blessing of prohibition. In the three parishes under his charge, there was a population of 1000 people, but there was not a single public-house (applause). The result was tfet during the three months he had been in the district, he had not seen a single case, of drunken- ness. The people were all strong, happy, and contented without it, and the absence of public- bouses had made them more industrious. There was-such an understanding between Churchmen and Nonconformists, that if a drink shop was mooted, the movement immediately met an over- whelming opposition (applause). He was grate- ful to the Bishop of. Lhnddf for having sent him to an inoumbenrty Wihe-re be could realise the blessings of prohibition, and further, that the redundancy of public-houses would b-3 of incalcul- able good in the interests of the country gener- ally. RESOLUTION. On the motion of the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, seconded by Dr. Cousins, the following resolu- tion was adopted:—"That this public meeting of the inhabitants of Colwyn Bay emphatically pro- tost against the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Licensing Bill, after the same had been before the country for the long period of 9 months and which had been afforded the wide- spread sympathy and support of all the churches, Temperance Societies, and Labour Organisations, and been passed in the House cf Commons by the largest majority on record. This meeting further "calls upon the Government to pass the Bill in the Commons a second time, and send it up again to the Lords without delay." PRESENTATION. The Rev. J. A. Rees then presenter] Mr Wm. Jones (Chief Templar of the local Lodge and Past Grand Chief Templar of Wales), with a beautiful regalia, the gift of the English Grand Lodge of Wales, in acknowledgement of the valu- able time he had given to the cam.

IN PAIN AFTER EVEnz MEAL. A Lady's 6 Years' Terrible Indifesiiost Cured by Chas. FORDPS Bile BeaDs. Miss Ada Mellins, a young living" at Elnihua-sft, Chart Lane, Reig-ato, "For about six yoaa-s* I wiaa a martyr to indigestion. After rucaJs I had sharp pains at t-be pit of my sJOh., and everything 1 ate repeated for some time afterwards. The sligihte-st amount of food caused my faoe to flush and get very he-ated, Even a drink of milk gave me terrible pains in the chest and side, and the agony was increased until it bCCill18 so fearful I was afraid toO ea-ti. "Many times I was awakened in the night by paiiis in the back and a stifling, choking feelmg at tthe chest. I tried many doctexrs, but their remedies did me no good w!hatever. I gradually became tiiin, weak and lowJ; d& pressed. A few days after trying' Chas. Fo-"de's Bile Beans I fel-t "rcfres^-d, and I thoroughly enjoyed WIne food without any pain following", I pe>r»3vered with Citas. Forde's and picked up sbrangtb rapidly. I was able to sleep, and woke up refreshed. Meal-times are now a pleasure instead of a toa-tAire, as tho indigestion pain has r-vcr returned. I am now quite cured, tlhanka entiriely to Chas.

ME LLOYD GEORGE AND THE LORDS. A REAL CRISIS IN WELSH AFFAIRS." Mr Lloyd Goorge, speaking at a meeting in London to consider the question of forming a Welsh Liberal Association for the Metropolis, said the x>:K¥9ent. was a real crisis in the aiffairt of Wales. Their interest in the great struggl# with the Lords was paramount. The whole fortunes of Liberalism were staked upon that one great challenge. The enemy was entrenched in the Scarlet Chamber, and thc-re was no path- way for Wales to freedom except through tho wreck of a power of that kind. Welsh disestab- lishment was impossible until they had shattered the sceptre of that House.
