TRANSVAAL WAR.

WAR ITEMS. It. is worthy of note that the Union Jack for the first time f<ir many a long day was hoisted over the Post Office at Cap" Town in honor of the arrival of the New Z .-aland Contingent". This fact; ii somewhat remark able, and is indicative of the strong feeling of gratitude on the part of the Cape people towards the colonies. The fl kg, so the London papers' correspondents aver*, was not even hoisted when General Buller landed. The latest ordor issued to the troops arriv ing ab Cape Towt. is to sew kharki over their coat buttons. The Highland regiments lately arrived wear khatki trousers and putties, the same as the other infantry regiments. Here is an anecdote which goe3 to show how far British chivalry can be carried. When the R<l Cross train returned from the scene of the armored train disaster ab Est court. the medical c-ffi :er in charge submitted his official report, and then intimated that he had important information to submit in reference lotheecemy's position. "I merely wane your medical report," returned the general; " what you saw when on a Red Cross miHsio.n I have nothing to do with/ Lieutenant-commander Co'quhoun, writ ing tn the Vicoriau Secretary for Defence on Deo mber 5, says : —■• '1 his war is g^tng to be a very much bigger tning than was expected. We ought to have had five times as many men from the colonies. Every man is wanted," Privates D C M'Leod and Victor Jones, of Queensland, were killed in the engagement j at) Sunnyeide with the Boerß on January 2 The army »f men employed to wa'eh (be line from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth via, De Aar and Naauwpoort, is a striking in dication of thfi care that has to be t«k«n to , protect railway communication throughout Cape Colons'. This route is covered by 810 miles of railway. At every quarter of a mile a Kaffir ia ebationed wibh two flvgp. Three mm, working in turn, watch each point, co that 10,080 men are required for this one line. •• We 1 done, Greater Britain ; God bless you !" Ttio?e are the words that we desire to set ringing in Ilia ear* of our brethren overseas, wherever the flig of Kng'ftDtl vvaviß. For they are fho vs-on's of trut' I. Tho w-r has taught the cation that thf Imperial idea is no.: a phauUm senior, and b^ nation is s-'^ and proud of the know -1 dge.— Daily Mai'. 3f a certain ckss of Irish »n<t French newt p»pers had their w&y Lvlysuilh should lunv fallen lonj, ien On November 3C a de spatch announcing the fail of Lady&mith was pub'isJieri in Paiis iv extra s>p;c;al editions.

ykVIT& D A T l ° THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRR&T TRIUMPH OVE "HYDATIDS" A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this preab Herbal Kp^Hv. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingaton Et., St. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke sb. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, "Vitadabio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least I can do is to hand you this testimonial, co that others suffering the same as myself may know that there is a certain reliable euro foe them in " Webber's Vitadatio," sf it is only given a fair trial. The s;mp!e fucts of my case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatreentof doctors in Fitzroy and St. Kilda, as well as some of the best in Collins afreet. Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure me. You can easily imagine thab I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber's Vifcadatio," 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 felb afber better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but ooe day took very i!!, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatida. I continued lo vomit these "Hydatids" for some time, bub at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the " Vitad&tio," and gradually my strength returned, uotiJ to-day I can honestly state I have never felb better in the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known in 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 Vitadatio." You are at porfecb 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 thiug I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully, Mre) CARRIE HOCKING Witness-G X Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
