""THE COLONIES AND THE WAR. Colonial offers of support have by ni 1 means been confined to the great self governing ooloDiee like Canada and Australia Among the smaller, but equally significant offers of assistance, have been the following Jersey : £5000 for a battery of six guns with a detachment of Jersey Artillery Militia. Trinidad : 125 Light Horse, with gun. Barbadoes : Light Horse to fill up Lord , trathcona's regiment* Jamaica : The Jamaica Militia (refused). $ Malta : The Maltese Artillery are now in garrison at Cairo.. Maritius : £2000 for the distress la Natal. The West African Colonies: Mentioned in the Queen's Speech at the close of last bob sion. Troops refused. The Federated Malay States : Troops re fused, This last offer has an interesting history. The Malays in Capetown are much attached to Mr Rhodes personally. When matters got threatening at the end of last July, they held a meeting, and cabled to the Malay Sultans to ask them to help England in South Africa, but the offered troops had to be declined. Hongkong : Artillery and police, refused. In India the jackal is more dreaded than the tiger. In this country it is the substi tution fraud that one has to guard against, high profit bearing substitutes being often pußhed for the sake of extra profit.

TEST THE TRUTH OF THIS STATE MENTi CLEI:K3 AND BUSINESS MEN. ]F YOU SUFFER FKOM COLLAPSE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, DPS Pi RHAPS TO HEAVY STRAIN AND PRESSURE OF BUSINESS, READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIAL :— Dear Sir- About-18 months ago I was forced to up my position, owing to an attack of Con gestion of the Brain, caused by FXCE--SIVE STUDY AND WORK. For some time I wait very ill, and was UDder the care of four of the best doctors in New Zealand. I found that although I had recovered from the Cerebral Congestion THE NERVOUS SYSTEM had received such a shock and had become so weakened that my medical advisers informed me that I would have to | take perfect lest for a long time, and th&fc it would be from 2 to 3 YEARS before I I would thoroughly regain my strength and )be what I had been prior to my breakdown. Knowing of the wonderful tt suits which had followed the taking of Vitadatio I resolved \ to go in for a course of it, and after drinking about 12 LARGE BOTTLES of the MEDI CINE, I rejoice to be able to say that I am now WELL AND STRONG again, and en joy the best of health. I feei that I cannot but let young men who struggle through the weary dayß of their office work, feeling so weak and ill that life has very few pleasures for them, know what your medicine has done for me.
