STEAD ON RHODES.

Refßrbing to Mr Rhodes and the war, Mr Stead, m the Review of Emews, says: Mr Rhodes,

finding that war was inevitable, suddenly found himself rest

less at Capetown, and, yielding to ar uncontrollable impulse, feet out fo Kimberley on the very eve of its in vestment by the forces of the Boers. There he is, and there he is likely to remain. He has equipped a force of 400 men at a coßt of £15,000, and ! cheerfully awaits the development of events. Of the wisdom of placing him self insueh an exposed position, almos' within grasp of the enemy, it is unne cessary to speak. Mr Khodea is not a man who acts upon calculation m such 9, case, but upon instinct. The same instiucb which carried him into the Matoppos when it was necessary to induce the Matabele to lay down their arms, led him to throw m his lot »i b the beleaguerfd town which has sprung up round the diamond mines of Be Beers. The fate of Kimberley is as nothing m popular estimation com-^ pared with the fate of Mr Rhodes Kimberley might be taken and re-taken. The valuable machinery of De Beers m'ght be destroyed, and the to^n razed to the ground These incidents of warfare would be regarded as mere trivailifcies compared with the sensa tion that wou'd be produced if Mr Rhodes were a captive m the hmds of Presidrnt Kruger. I*i is doubtful whether he would ever be taken alive, and throughout the Empire the din-1 appearance of Mr Rhodes would be j counted a loss that would be deare purchased by the annexation of both the Dutch Republics of South Africa Great men are always rare, and the loss of Mr Rhodes would be felt alike by our friends and foes throughout the world as a greater blow to the Empire than any conceivable reverse that might be inflicted upon British arms. Hence it is that the news from Kio> berJty is awaited with such intense anxiety and the telegrams reporting) the nonchalance and cheery confidence which Mr Rhodes is manifesting within the beleaguered town, do much to: counterbalance the anxiety which h undoubtedly felt m well informed quarters about the military position m .Natal.

** V ITADATIO THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH OVE "HYDATIDS.'N A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this pteab Herbal K»mMv. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingston et., St. Kilda, Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke at. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' (Jreat 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 suffering the same as myself may know 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 have been under the treatment of doctors m Fitzroy and St. Kilda, as well as some of the best m Collins street). Some were of opinion thab I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated ib was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure 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, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two laTPge bottlea, I felt after better, and continued the medioine. 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, whioh was afterwards examined by the dootor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continued to vomit these e'Hydatid»" for some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my Btrength returned, until to-day I can honestly state I have never felt better m the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I a^n well-known m Fitzroy, and there are many others just as 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 of " Webber's Vitadaiio." You are at perfect liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial. I may add I am now able to do all my own household work; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very grfttefUlly ' Mrs} CARRIE HOCKING 1 Witness-G X Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADAIIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
