Really struggling today - would appreciate any help.
13 A. Kind of boring work in revolutionary band bearing misfortune (12)
ro-e--------
(I was thinking it began 'rote...'/boring work, but that's as far as I got!)
25 A. Town official feeling unwell in weary vigil? (12) b-----------

R(op)ed-r(ill)ing

Bo rough re eve

Thanks, both - I hope I'll be able to get on with this a bit better, a bit faster now.

Have now got only two left and have answers, but they can't both be correct. Would welcome any views.
7 D. Very old, no longer opposed to field of medicine (7) an-i-n-
This looks very like 'ancient'
12 A. Cloth spread and lowered (6) -b--ed
This looks like 'abased' - which suits the 'lowered' part of the clue.
If 'ancient' is right, then 12 A becomes
-b-ced - very odd looking!
If 'abased' is right then 7D becomes ansi-n-

looks like Anti ENT, antient = old spelling of ancient??

might give Abated?

wiktionary gives,

Noun
antient (plural antients)
1. Obsolete spelling of ancient.

Thanks, Trevor - am delighted with 'antient' and 'abated' though I quite enjoyed tussling with those last two clues.
