"Of the many periodical publications which, owe their existence to the enterprise of Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, their new venture is one of the most creditable. The matter is of a popular and interesting character, frequently teaching while it amuses, and all throughout marked by a care for the moralities without intruding them unduly. In each number there is plenty to attract all classes of the community; and the names of some of the contributors-men >v>o do not usually contribute to very cheap magazines—prore that Messrs. Cassell have resolved to make their new periodical at least worthy of the success Whioh it is well calculated to obtain."—Standard. QASSELL'S SERIAL PUBLICATIONS. CASSELL'S MAGAZINE. Illustrated.

THE PROPRIETORS OF THIS JOURNAL beg respectfully to inform the Public that, having completed their MACHINERY FOR PRINTING BY WATER POWER, they are now in a position to execute PRINTING WORK of all kinds, and to any extent, at a considerable advantage to their customers as compared with the charges made by Establishments in which the slow and tedious process of hand-power is relied upon or indeed as compared with the more expensive power of steam,—Water-power being far more economical than Steam for Printing purposes, while it gives exactly equal advantages in regard to rapidity in the execution of work. The whole of the Type being new, and of modern style, the Proprietors are enabled to promise neatness and superior "finish" in addition to the other advantages they offer, while the greatest care is taken to ensure correctness. The system of business pursued at this Office is that of basing the charge upon the actual cost-not, as is too common in the Printing Trade, of estimating the charge by comparison or by the appearance of the work. Hence customers may rely that they get value received in every case, as each charge is capable of being vouched in the most minute particular. Orders from a distance receive prompt attention, and, when necessary, proofs can be sent by the next Post after the receipt of order. All Parcels carriage paid so far as the main lines running from Brecon extend. ENGRAVING (on Wood, Copper, or Steel)—LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING,-DIE SINKING,— EMBOSSING (Monograms, Initials, Crests, &c.)—BOOKBINDING, and all other Branches of the Printing and Stationery Trades on equally advantageous terms. Estimates given (upon application by Post or otherwise) free of charge. BRECON COUNTY TIMES OFFICE, BRECON, OCTOBER, 1867. THE CHAMPION LIVER AND STOMACH PILLS. of^th6 *>S are compounded from the recipe of one (who6 f10st enQinent physicians of the present day >. • ro™ purely philanthropic motives—knowing hetr excellent properties from experience-has been ° |ive ^e benefit of them to the public a aAu" y are prepared by an able and experi- enced chemist, and are acknowledged, by the faculty, r I6 + a S. va^uable medicine for all disorders of the s om c and derangements of the liver ever prepared. I:) It is a well-known fact that most of the diseases incident to tne numan race arise from a disordered stomach, and an irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple maladies become serious illnesses. To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly recommended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach; correct the morbid con- dition of the liver, regulate the bowels, and, by removing all impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame. Sold in boxes (with directions for use) Is. lid. and 7id. each (a saving by taking the larger size). n Sold Wholesale by Messrs. Barclay and Son, London and Retail by all Medicine Vendors. I.

This invaluable Medicine, which has been known throughout the UNITED KINGDOM for nearly half a century, and recognised by all who have tried it to be the BEST PURIFIER OF THE BLOOD, is admirably adapted to supply a great want—that of a remedy always at hand, easy of application, and certain in its results. Its timely aid prevents, and its assistance cures, all Diseases, however caused; and where these Pills are persevered with DOCTORS' BILLS ARE UNKNOWN. Being a purely vegetable preparation, they may be taken at any time by either sex without fear of danger. Acting upon the bowels mildly, yet effect- ually, by their fine tonic, aromatic, and aperient properties, they remove all oppressive accumu- lations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels, strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood.
