THE GENERAL ELECTIONS.

Australian Comment. Uaited Press Association—By Klectrio Telegraph—Copyright Sydney, December 8 The Daily Telegraph, m a leading article on the Hew Zealand elections, says:— ■" The issue is all the more remarkable because it was unexpected. It was anticipated that the Ministry would win by only a srsiaH m;irj.'iu. The public voice is almost unanimous for Mr Seddon, and the verdict is an unequivocal tribute to him politically and personally. One of the notable features was the failure of the Prohi bitionists to win any district. Two leseons are to be learned from this extraordinary election, the people t-rophatically prefer Mr Heddon to any other leader offering, and do nofc want prohibition."

'* TT ITADATIO THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRWAT TRIUMPH OVER "HYDATIDS/'l A grateful Patient gives unsolicited valuable testimony to the efficacy . this preab Herbal RnmHv. Read carefully and investigate for 1 yourself. j 29 Paokingston st., St. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke at. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herba Remedy, "Vitadatio," has been the sol means of saving my life I think the least can do is to hand yon this testimonial, so tha others suffering the same as myeelf may kno that there is a certain reliable cure for them m " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of my case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I hay been under thetrf atmentof doctors m Fitero and St. Kilda, ac well as some of the best m | Collins street. Some were of opinion that I ; was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rat* | they could give me no relief, let alone onr« me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, Ithought I would give it a trial, with the result Hh&ti much taking only two large bottles, I felb after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, bub one day took very ill, and vcmited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hyriatids. I continued to vomit thasa "Hydatida" for some time, but at last it died away This naturally left me weak, but I continued with , the " Vitadatio," and gradually my strength I returned, until to-day I can honestly state I 1 have never felt better m the whole of my j life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio " a ! miraole-worker. I am well-known inFitaroy, land there are many others just bb much ' astonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth 0 •* Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfe liberty to make what use you like of thi testimonial, I may add I am now able to do all my own household work ; a thing I bavf been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully,
