Gity Administration MiSUNDEHSTANDiNG EXPLAINED A ma,tter which has an important bea<ring upon the departmental system of adminis- tration now in vcgTM in OardifF was referred to at the Cardiff Finance Committee on Monday. when the city treasurer and con- troller (Mr. J. AUcock) pointed out that it was stated by the city engineer (Mr. Harpur), according to a, report of the public works proceedings in the \VeRtern Mail and 'Aher papers. that me system of accounta introduced by him (the city treasurer) was of &uoh a character as to lead to the unnecessary carting of material re- quired for repairing roads. "I am glad to ,my," Mr. Allcock continued in his report, that in an interview I have had 'ith the city engineer on the master. at which the cJiau'Tnan of the nilance com- mittee and the chairman of t'he public works committee were present. Mr. Harpur, recog- nising [hat the reports m.ight be more or IL,s, damaging to myself. has been good enough to send to my chairman the follow- ing explanatory letter:— JC-edr Mr. Alderman.—Reterrin§- to our interview of y'Verday, and to the repcr:.? in the loca l press of the pruceedingi-i of thc la-st meeting ot the public works coiu- uui.tec re ..toy-lane, I do not wiöh any misundCtrstandtng to exi.-t on thM point, and would, ther.fore, nke to explain that tae newspaper reporta do not accurately convey my me'a<ning, my poitit being tha.t it was not the queeitlou of hauiage. but of debiUit:, the c<st of matLriai6 tor the work in Cathaye. My origmal cstima.te was for JE112, which included the value of the channelling iu q-u4eoLioc>il, but. on the assumption that u<! charge should be lllad tor tuc stone from (o\lJoridg"road, tJie. said estimate reduced to £7S. The .-iyotem of accounts does not necetssi- ta.te the carta-go of ma.t€rial from aay .\ork to the depot and. out to anot-her job whe.n it is pocsible to cart it direct from one job to another; brli* -,vhe.-re nLa-tjefial is taken from. one job to another the one must be credited and ti: other de-bited. The cost of haulage m tjiis N%-O-u (!, not en:oe.ed and, therefore, tjie assumption that my remarks could have referred to the question of haulage ii- obviously quito erronfous, as the difference betweeTi tile two estimates was 1--34.-1 am. Ac.. W. HARPUR. City bngineew. Mr. Allcock added "I do not know of any instance where materials have been carted to Trade-street or any other depot simply for the purpose of the a/ccountti, nor should I have thought for a single moment of .su&get-ting any such method.' The Chairman (Alderman ik-a-van) said he wac glad that Mr. Horpur had withdrawn what mJig'ht h'ave seemed to some to ha,vc be&ji an a.!L.:g'a,tion again6t tile wiedom of the city treasurer s methods. Mr. J. 6-tamicld said the statement laid before the was too milk-aiid- watery altogether. The system enforced by Mr. Allcock was the sya-tem that had been agreed upon by the departmenta.1 committee after many sittings, and. if officials were going to pazis auch remarks as were reported to have been pasi-ed in thii ca&e upon the deci5ion of who were supposed to be the master.- of the oBo.cia.ts, the result would be that they would not get anybody to take the trouble to sit on committees at all by and bye. The Oha-irman said he thought that no more need be said upon the matter, and all he hoped was that the press would give aa much prominence to Mr. Ha.rpur's letter of explanation as had been given to his remarks in committe4e. RE-ADJUSTMENT OF FINANCES, It was reported that several conferences bad taken place between r&presenftatives of the Glamorgan County Council and of the Cardiff and b)rol1gh councils with regard to the former's desire for a re-adjust- ment of the financial a.rra.r.sements existing between the three baies for the purpo<s.e of the division of g-rants under the local ta-xa- j: tion acconnt, &e. Ths Chairma.n (AUermanF. J.Beavan)&aid' t.h'<t Swanaea. were co-operatin? with Cardin'! in resisting the Ynove of the coamty couneiY, and a joint conjfereace would be held dnrin? the afternoon between the three bodies inte- rested, with the vJew of having the matter NettLed amicably with-out arbitration. NO HOLIDAY ON SHOW DAY. It being considered to involve a question of nnanoe. the Lord Mayor (Mr. IIltyd Thomas) brought before the committee the suggestion made to him that he should grant a- holiday to the City-bail sta-fF on May Day show day. His lordship 'aid he had d<'cided to seek the view of that committee before coming to a decision, The Chairman (Alderman F. J. Bea,va.n) sa.id he wae dead against such a holida.y, and he did not think the committee ought to coun- tenaJK'c it. If holidays were to be multiplied they must ask the salaries committee to consider what bearing it would ha,ve on the question of salaries. Thia view wa& adopted by the committee. and the Lord Mayor said he would adopt the committee's opinion and a<:t accordingly. DEPUTY-CLERK'S SALARY INCBRA&ED. Mi'. Cecil Brown. the deputy-town-clerk, sent in an application for an advance in his salary. which now steads at JE350. Mr. Brown pointed put that this sum waa lower than tha,t paid to his predecessor, and that the paid elsewhere to deputy-town-clerks wcre:-Birlenhead, E450; Roiton. £425; Croydon, JE45C; XottÍJlJglham, .&.500; Swansea, :C550. The Chairman (Alderman F. J. Be-a.va.n) said there waa no question that Mr. Brown's qualifications and a4ilities commanded a higher figure, but the point was whetji<r the sa-Iary was low for such a mafn ae they actually r'equu'ed. The Deputy-mayor (Mr. H. C. ViYian) moved tha.t the salary be increased to JB450; but, at the suggestion of the chairman., Mr. Vivian amended his resolution to .6400, and this was carried unanimously.

So long as he continues to play hie part, Mr. Arthur Roberts will never surrender his position as the prince of comedians. He la the ceutra.1 figure, the life and soul, of that I most delightful of sketches, "Tin Sunday," which is a story of the girl who took the wrong "towing" p-a'th. From the moment he made his appearance on Monday evening as "Mr. Jamea Doyle." the private inquiry agent. until he made his final bow with the ngure of a weeping Cupid dangling over his head. he kept a full house in a continuous roar of laughter. Almost every Sentence gparkled with a humorous quip or witty sug- gestion. and hie triple representation of two partners in the same nrm, and atso of "Nurse Tutti-Frutti" proved his versa.tiHty in a striking degree. In his own particular and peculiar line of comedy Arthur Roberts is not only without an equal, bpt any imiti, tor is a long distance away from him. In the production of "Till Sunday" he is for- tunate in being so ably supported by Mjss I Ruby Ce-Ieste, Miss May Hallatt. Mr. WLiiam! Rokeby. Mr. Barry J. Worth, and Mr. Harry Huddlestone. an of whom play their respec- tive parts in a manner that is altogether admirable. Oa-rLotta.

Vigorous Debate 1 -—— ——- MR. NORRtS TAKES A LEADING PART I 'Humour and Passion at Penarth I Oounci! Meeting I Some lively Fcem#k occumpd at the Tnonthly I meetirg of the Pena?Mi Upb?n District C,ouTt6l held on -Vonday evemn-g, when Mr. G. L. NoTrip, the newly-elected member (,f I the coujK'd!, put a long string of questione upon the minutes of thf previous meeting-. Mr. Sam TJ-omas. J.P., pjfeided. A arrest dea-1 of interest was taJ:en in the proceedings. aind a number of the public were admitted to the haj.1. Mr. Non-Ki opened the bait by a&kiug: a large number of que6tims of a.n .1.mimp.oTtaut nature upon MMs which had bM'E. passed for pa.yme'nt at the Jae-t me.'tin? of the Mnnci). The Chairman entered a protest, on the ground tha.t Mr. iS orris was fiot a member cf the board then Mr. Norris wished to make it cleanly under- Ft,cod that. he was not &'odmg to pa.:s any aC:01U1ts of which he knew zl,()thjmg i Mr. W. Jones djd not think it was fair that they should be ca.i1ed to-gether for busi- ness purpose, and tha.t Mr. Norris ehcutd. monopch&e the whole ef the time. Mr. Norris: 1 am here to have theoe accounts. The Chairman: No, indeed, you are not. Mr. Norris What am I here for, then ? The Chairman: I don't know. Mr. Norrie: Then it would be better if I had been outside. The Chairman: Have you nnished? Mr. Norris: Oh, no. He then proceeded to refer to an item about a saucepan, and wanted to know what "etcetera meant in connection with it. The Chairman, faoetiously, said tha.t it might refer to the lid. Mr. Norris -was 'soon again on his feet with a string of further questions, and drew a-ttentioTi to a tra,m-far<' of la. ior the inspector, and p-eked, "'May I ask what the business was? The Cha-irma-n: No. you may not. Mr. Norris: Oh. but I am gains' to know all about this in the future. The Chairman: Will you kindly take your seat for a moment' Mr. Norris Well. I will be up again in a moment. Mr. W. Hallett did not see that they were ca.Ued the'-e to remain all Ql?ht to listen to Mr. Norria. Mr. Norris: I am here to do business. I am not here because I ca-n't afford time. If those who are here ca-nnot afford the time —— Mr. Hallett: Don't shoTtt. Mr. Nome: Don't talk to me. I ami taJk- ing. The Chairma.n: Will you ki-ndly eit d<).%vn? Fifty-six Resolutions Somewhat later in the proceedinga Mr. Norris said that in obedience to the chair- man's wish he had handed in some half a dozen out of about nfty-six resolutions he proposed to ask. but there were two rather important. The first of these dealt with the tarring of the roade. The roads a-nd bridges committee of the county council had decided. not to allow any inore grants towards the mamtenance of county roads unless their sanction and approval to the material had I been obtfained. He mentioned that be,3,au.3e he wished the surveyor to know that he must not do anything to the county roads unless he had received the approval of the county oo-uncil. Mr. HaHeM fKMd they were all awarre of tha.t. In a minute Mr. Xorris was up again, and said that his secoltd important question had reference to a resolution passed at a. previous meeting dealing with a crossing in Plymouth- road. and he moved that it be rescinded. He happened to know that that crossing had been laid down with new stonea. and he did not see any reason why a portion of the crossings should be broken up and re-Ia.id. It was explained by Mr. Mordey that the public works committee proposed trying a new crossing afh.terta-1. Mr. Norrls protested that it Tvotdd be a m<m9trous thing to have the stones now laid down brokem up. It was agreed that the eoTveyor g'honM hold his hand in the matter antil the nert meeting of the committee. Upon the minutes of the fin-&mce committee coming up for oonnrmation there was a reoommenda.tlon that the council increase the salaries of Mr. L. M. Harries, assistant In the surveyor's omce. MMl Mr. R. Jenkins by 5B. per week each- To this Mr. Norris objected, and sta.ted that a few years ago the work of the surveyor's omce was done for ;S160 a year, whereas it was now costing them close on £500. He moved that the ma-tter be deferred for six months. No one seconded the amendment, and the recommenda-tiona of the comTmttee were agreed to. Payment of Rates -1 I When the nuance committees mumtew came up Mr. Norris created a,ac.?<*?' lively scene upon the reoommetmdaMc.n of the committee rela-tire to complaints md. against the collector. The ocmuuittec, halving regard to a.ll the circumstances of the oaae. were of opinion tha.t there were no grounds for Mr. Nome's compla.m.ts. Mr. Norris proposed as an amendment tha,t Mr. J. G. Llewellyn, the collector, be cen- sured and asked to apologise amd promise not to do it a?a.in. He stated that the com- mittee dealing with the question wOrO a.tl a.gaj-n;st him (Mj-. Norris), with the exception of one, and he could not be present. (Laughter.) The other mem- bers had done their bes't to prevent him coming to the council, and the chairman was also against him. but he did not bla-me him. (Laughter.) "Do you think that w<M fair to me?" asked M'r. Norris, amidst renewed laughter and derisive cries of No." Every member of the committee. he comftmued, was againRt me, and waa trying my case behind my back." Mr. Norris afterwards went on to &ta/te that several membei's of the council had not paid the rates for days after he had pa-Mi his. Mr. Ka,Uet.t rose to interject a rfma-rK, when Mr. Norris shouted. "You sit down. I am speaking to t.he chair." Continuing. Mr. Norr!s aa-id he paid his ra,tes on Ma,rch 11. For the last seven yeax-s he had always ttken his cheque up. but when the collector eajne to him he always asked him if Mr. W. L. Morris had paid his, and then. said Mr. Norris, dra.ma.tica.Hy. "I te-11 him to get his nrst." TheOhairman observed that all this had no beaming upon the point. Mr. Norris: Why should I be told in the street that I did not pay the mtes until the Uth. when he does not ask other people to pay until the 24th? It is a disgrace. Mr. Harold Lloyd was called upon for his rates in January. ) Mr. Harold Lloyd: Yes. ajtd I wae fool enough to po.y them. (Laughter.) Mr. Norris said others did not pay for months afterwards. (" Shame," and laugh- ter.) Upon the suggestion of Mr. Harold Lloyd. Mr. Llewellyn was allowed to reply, the Ohairma-n remarking that the committee had gone into the matter, and they had absolute conndence in him. Mr. Llewellyn then read a statement which he had prepared, in which he disputed Mr. N'orris's statemente. Mr. Norris should be the last man to ask such a question, as he himself had only paid his ra,tes on the pre- vious day, to which Mr. Norris retort<sdtha,t the poor were pressed and the rich people let off by the spea-ker. About ten years ago, he added. as a parting shot. "I com- mitted perjury in the police-court. Mr. Norris: So you did. ("Order, order.") The Lie Direct MT. Ha.Uett immediately rose to his feet and said: I &ay that Mr. Morris ie a liar to my that the soury told ie a lie. (Sensa- tion.) The Ohajrman: Now, Mr. Hallett. please sit down. I must ask you and every member of the council, if you have any respect for the ooun<-il and for me peraon'aUy as the cbai-rman, to respect yourselves suNciently not to uae language of that kind. (Hear, hear.) I have known you Mr. Hatlett. since your boyhood, and I shall consider myself insulted if 11 you do not withdraw that rema.rk. I take it as a personal affront. Mr. Hallett, under the circumstance, with- drew the expreasion, and proceeded to support Mr. Llewellyn in his et.atem<mt. In the couTlEe of his address Mr. Hallett turned towards Mr. NoTris. when the latter excitedly shouted. "IJOOk the other way." the memberg greeting the request with laughter. Mr. Norris. addressing himself in an excited manner to Mr. Hallett, f;aid, Hehave youmelf." f'hairman: He is behaving himself. Mr. Ha-'lett. continuing. M,id the fact oi the matter was that what knocked Mr. Norris out was that after Mr. Hewellyu had left, a crowd of about 300 gathered round him (Mr. Hallett). and he answered Mr. orris'a questions to the crowd, and told them he had only paid hie rates on the previous day. The minutes of the finance committee were them adopted. Mr. Xorris had a large number of other notice; of motions and questions addressed to the chairman down on thf paper for the business of the evening, but as it was now a quarter to eleven o'clock, on the motion of Mr. Purnell. seconded by Mr. Graham, it was agreed by five votes to four to adjourn the meeting until WMUesOO at 7.30.

Dr.Nichofson & His Fbck I I SORE TRtALS OF A CARDtFF PARtSH I In a, long speech MT. F. W. Brett explained the latest phases of the regrettable position (LxiMing in St. Andrews Parish, Cardiff, between the vioa.r (Dr. Nicholson) and the worshippers at the mother and daughter churches. Speaking from the chair to a crowded meeting of parishioners held in the National School. Woodville-road, on Monday night. Mr. Brett said that the Easter vestry was adjourned till that evening, and the bishop's request, for an adjournment, raised hopes which, he regretted to say, had not been realised. Indeed, had- they known what the proposals were going to be they could at once have said that nothing would come of them. M. r. Brett recapitulated the details already published of the interview at the Pa]aee between the parish r'2pre.en- tiltives and the bishop and Mr. George David, acting on behalf of the vicar, ob-icrvins; that it was soon made clear that they were to be a,.ked to cio more than they had ofiered. In short, that it was to be a gi'.e-and-take arrangement, but that the parishioners were to do all the giving and Dr. Nicholson ana family all the taking. (Laughter.) After mentioning that the parishioners were prepared to pay the vicar -eZOO and relieve him of all duty and respon- sibility, the Chairman sala that the bishop p)a.ced them at a disadvantage by submitting an entirely new scheme. He won)d not describe the new scheme, but would read two letters he had that day received from the bishop. In the nrst letter certain proposals were made on beha,If of Dr. Nicholson as follow :— First, that Dr. l'\ichobon shou ,L! &eek for permission to resign his beneSce. uuder the provisioM of the Incumbents Acts.. 1871 and 1887. Second, that if that is carried through. and a pension of not less than £200 per annum from all sources is secured to him, and it he is relieved by the parishioners of his present rpspoasibiiity for I',L due to the bank in respect of the curates' aMpend fund. be should forthwith vacate the beneuce. Mr. Brett went on to say that the bishop expressed a hope that the parishioners would show a spirit (,f magnanimity and forbearance. In the s?ond Jetter from the oishop, which he h3.d receive thaweve.aing, bis lordshij) said, If the arrangements pro- posed can be carried out. Dr. Nicholson will o'e quite wiUing to leave the spiritual over- eight of the pari&h iu my hands, without any interference on his part and to <w all in his power to expedite the oomp-le- tion of the resignation. Un,¡il the resigna- tion actually ta;ke's pla'ce the endowments. 130w rents, and surplus fee<? would stin be vested in and be p.tid to Dr. Nich:))eoc." Having referred to the debt of £165 on the curates' stipend fund, M i-, Brett sa.id he had conferred with Mr. George David, who. on behalf of Dr. Nichol- Bon. had repudiated that the latter wne responsible for the deacit of -eSO on the St. Andrew's Church accounte. They informed the biahop that they were not prepared to pay QonY parish debts, and gave their rea- sons. St. Andrew a Parish owed absolutely nothing to Dr, Nichdeon and his family. lylwll Dr. Nicholson came there in 1896 he found 6 wetl;orgunise-d parish. Almost immediately there were strained relutlons. St'. CutbbeT't's Mission Church waq closed, one curate w<a<s ddapefnued with, S't. I11It)"d'8 was used for children only, the a><iS'tallt curate's gT-ant had been lost, the Sunday achoolg had be,en reduced to less than one-third their strength, the parish church had beeu noarly emptied, a.nd the Church organisations had been allowed to die out, whilst the comnmn.i- can'ts had dwindled from 433 at Baste-i' in 1896 to 135 a.t Easter in 1906. the last Ea&ter at which the vic<a,r wrs J>N'iSf"Ili. Although no help w-M given to outside agencies. and not a pemny to mi66ion .enterprise, and the -most (tou.btful methods were adopted to liaise funds, now the pariah was nearly bankrupt. The day schools were almost lost owing to Dr. Nioholson's a-ttitTtde, and were only saved by the detemnimatio'n of a few men. It was one long, sad. dismay story of grim disaster. They believed and said that Dr. LVi3bclbon waa men.taHy amd physically inoa;p.a,ble of performing his duties, a-nd that be and Mrs. Nicholson had of their own free will cut themselves off from their peo-ple. They had no desire to puTJMh them. but they wanted peace in the parish so that the Church might do Its appointed work. "A!one Responsibte" I Mr. R. S. Fisher. an ex-cb'urch'warden of St. Andrew's, and a preeen-t aidesmam, moved. a.mld a'Mpta.nae:— Th&t this meeting of peirishioner4s of SH.. Andjew's, in -vestry <R"eID'bled, having becu-d a fuU sbatemeTit of the enorte made to effect 4n arramg-ement with the vicar, heartily approves of the auction of the churchwardens a'!J<d sideomen; is strongly of opinion that the vicar is alone re&pon- siMe for the aooummnl!ated parochial debhs; and as t.he proposal of February 17 to aHow the vica,r .6200 per amjom, without duty or reaponsiMlity, has not been a.ooePted, that the same be now withdrawn.

Ma.ttey, oBe of the sideeTnen at St. Tn ello-a Cbupch, seconded. Mr. Ben Winneld. people's warden at St. Tetlos, jn supporting. sa.id he felt tha-t the time had now come when they must be 6rm (Applause.) It had been said that they could not undertake the vicar's parochial debts beca4!se they couM no,. &J.d Momey. R-ut that waB atlno-naense..aind he told the bishop so (hear, hear.) He told the bishop that if they had beem treated as parishioners and as hum- beiligs should be treated, the money woutd be forthtoming without any trouble at all. (Hear, liear.) Se a<k-o mentioned a. few facts to the bishop which his tordship was not prevM'uRly a.ware of, and his Jm-d- f"h'Ípadm:Ïtted that they bad been sorely tried. That opmion of the bishop ought to ,trw:grtheu them in their Tesolrve n:ot to defray the diebts iMurred by Hhe \ioa..r. (HeM-' h,mr.) A parishioner asked what the TM-t income of the parish that thevi&a.r could deal tvith was, and it seemed to be ag'rppd that it was a.bout -E3W. The Chairman, however. remarked that it was stated in the Last dioeegaTi calendar to be a.bont £280. Be-fore the advent of Dr. Niohotso-n. into the partsh, the Chairman (-ontimued "it was much mo-re than that. The pew rents in the parish church aione used to be .€200." In reply to the question as to what wouJd happeTi if the resolution was adopted, the Chairman, said, "Things wiM have to come to a stop. We hare done a)t that it rea&cMi- able, and the responsiM.Iity M not ours. 'niera are scores of clergymen iu t.he Ha.n- daff Diocese who work ha-rd aU the yea-r round and do -not get anything Jike .6200 a year. But we onered that to Dr. Nicho-Iaon for doim.g nothing, and to provide olerg-y for the parish." Mr. J. Lewis fOoIum-road) gave a summary of the nnauciat position of the asaista.Tit c-:crgy fujid, upon w.hich -there was a deQt ciency at present of CI66 2s. 8d. He had nX he<8dtatMTi in saying, quite rea-licing the seriouauess of the sta-teTnent. tihat if they oouM only oomvince their friends at &t. Teilo's to withhold their oiTertories, a settle- memt wouM be arrived a-t in a very short time. 'Hear, hoar.) Answering Mr. ]-Lke, the Cb.Mrma.n said th&t if the resolutMMi were carried a.Tid the rioar then adopted the terms oSered. the posLtion would have to be re-considered. Mr. Pritchard, ';()Q¡r!s wardo) a.t St. Teito's. said the time h<Mi come when propoeaJs woutd haTe to be made by the other side. Up to the present a.ll the proposals had come from them. Mr. Witliams, a sidesman a.t St. Teilo's, said t<ba.t ever since Dr. -N,icholson had been in the pajTah he bad been a sprag on the wheel of progress. His advice to them wns 'not to pot a penny piece in the co!!eotions. J.Jet them throw the whole thing back in the fa<cee of those who oM)o6ed them. They were playing a game of bluff. If there was amy 0-ther proposal to <*oinc forward. let it coma from the other aid?. Mr. Cyril Daviei- moved and Mr. Bees Thorn a-s seconded, ø.3 an amendment, that the offer to the vicar be kept open til) Fri- day, but only eight voted for the amend- ment. the motion bemg carried with accla- mation. A vote of thar'ks to the chairman ter- nMnat'ed the proceedings.

J d -rn õ _0 II j Lassitude, Liver and Stomach Troubles Spring Disorders— To get the most out of a fact, says one of the shrewdest and mb&t level headed men In the Kingdom, that fact must be used promptly. Doubtless, because he never forgets this truism, Chief Sergeant Detective Tallin is able to relate with intense satisfaction one of the most interesting and valuable of his varied experiences. Accustomed to judge men and things, and not letting the least trine escape his careful consideration, Sergeant Tallin, when suffering much distress from nervous exhaustion, lassitnde and liver troubles, noticed that many Royal Personages and Celebrities who were subject to similar disorders, invariably found a remedy for their complaints in ,a course <?/ PhosferÙze. As this was a fact that cooM not be gainsaid, Sergeant Tallin did not hesitate to promptly avaU him- self of' the Remedy of Kings,' with the result that in an incredibly short time his vigour and vitality were restored and increased beyond even the utmost he had ever thought possible, and thanks to Phosferine not a sign of any disorder now remains. Thoroughly routed out. Chief Sergeant Detective Tallin, 11, Mortimer Road, Willesden, N.W., writes:—" Being considerably out of health and noticing one of your advertisements, it occurred to me that a remedy so largely used by Royalties must possess unusua! qualities, such personages naturaUy command the best that the world can produce, and so I was prompted to try Phosferine for my own case. After taking It for a few days I was surprised at the energy and nerve power I obtained; the old feeling of lassitude and inertness and general ill-health gave place to a buoyancy and confidence I had long been a stranger to. Since then I have resorted to its aid whenever I feel the least out of condition from any cause and it has invariably given me renewed vitality and strength. I find Pbosferine extremely useful in overcoming the troubles that usually assail one in the Spring, enriching the biood, preventing disorders of the Stomach and Liver, and nullifying that "What's the use languidness that so effectu- ally* cramps ones powers when the season begins to advance. I certainly consider Phosferine takes the premier pb.ce of any remedy in existence and shall have much pleasure in advocating its use to any of my friends.'
