TRANSVAAL WAR.

THE ENEMY'S PLEASANTRY,

Mafeking, Deo. 4, Sinoe the las despatch of Nov. 30 very liitle of impoitance haa happened. On Sat urday night the enemy fired a half-dtzsa parting volleys, as a sort of finale before Sun day's truce. A chemist named J. E. Wormea, working in his dispensary, was sf ruck by a Mauser bullet, which pene trated the galvanised iron wall and wounded him in the shoulder. The wound is not serious. The Biegq has now developed a new phase. Finding it somewhat cosily in human life to storm the enemy's trenches at the point of the bayonet, outposts now reply to the enemy's gradual advancement in trenoheß by constant sapping and push ing forward of rifla pits to enfilade those opened of the enemy. Our advanced Bharp shooters on the eastern side of the town *re now wifchin range of the enemy's 100 ---ponnder, and cause the gun's crew consider able uneasiness. Our extreme outlying trenches are within four hundred yards of ; those of tha enemy : The other morning our men opened firs at about 5.30. a.m j The enemy, in an expostulatory manner, shouted out. "No, no! you begin too early altogether." To the north of the town Captain Cowan and the BechuanaUnd R flea have, during the past few days, been puah irg out advance trenches in otder to bring their fire to bear on the fi»nk of the enemy's work north-east of the convent On Satur day they succeeded in doing this, and their good shootiug compelled the enemy to evacuate tho redoubt, and the Bechuana- I land Rifles took possession of it without ' loss of life. Corporals Cook and Roeenfeld ( are mentioned in orders in connection with this. Ward, Impey and Sutherland, of the Railway Division, manning the armoured trsin, are also mentioned for some good sharpahooticg ; they got to within three hundred yards of the enemy to the north west, and opewed fire on an advanced branch of the enemy". The Boers opened fire from their main trenches, but our men picked off two mounted Boore, and nude good their I retirement on to the town. 'J here is great J enthusiasm in town ov?r our success at; Bolmonf. The enemy is now able to reach j the Market Square with his 1 pounder. MaxiuvNordfinMdt, which i 3 exuemely < unpleasant. Sharpshooting continues ull, d*y, togeihor with infcermittet.t shelling I f.om various e'z>s of big guns. All the! wounded are doing well, A troop of the Pro'eot orate Regiment is to ba armed with | lances manufac'ured locally. I

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, ab Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Olinica and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming orude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not bo taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian.Governmeiib to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we »bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical CHoa of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmaooiogy, at Bon, and Professor Dn Mosßier, Director *i the Medical Clinics at j Greifswald, that oDly products that are saturated with oxygen a.id freed or" acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allcruds oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenduee, whish ire abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so oalled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracb develops most frealy through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin aad mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tue presence jf acids. 3J By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and lennates. if these crude oils, bo-c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mists .8 in cases of oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are mosb appalling.

fcfc TT IT A D A T I 0 THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH CVER «• KYDATIDS."! A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this preat Herbal K«wMv. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Paokingßton st., Sb. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vifcadatio Institute, Bourke it. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, "Vitadatio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least I can do is to hand you this testimonial, so that : others Buffering the same as mye#lf may know that there is a certain reliable cure for them in " 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 hays been under the treatment of doctors in Fitsroy and N\ Kilda, as well as some of the best in 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 cura me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being oured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by " Webber't Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continned to vomifc these "Hydatida" for some time, but at last it died away. Thi« naturally left me weak, but I continued with the " Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, unti? to-day I can honestly stata I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known in Fitsroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my cure as I am. I shall ba pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfect liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial. 1 may add I &m now able to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witness—G E Kichardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER' FUL MEDICINE.
