Tha following are the various routes taken by the General*, who ate endeavouring to relieve Ladysmith :-General Boiler left Frere by the road leading to the Litt.e Tugela, via Springfield. General Warren left Frere a few days later, it being generally supposed that he was going lower down tbe Taffelß. Instead of that, he marched east, along the Estcjurt Road, until he came to Enneredale, then turned west, and marched along the road leading from there to the Litt-e Tugela. He crossed the Little It- gela drift,, striking the luge a above 1 oi ler's forces. He nurprised the Boers, who never expected to tee him there. Ihe roads taken by the two generals run paral lel only a f«w miles apart, with a chain of hills thnugh the ceutie. The Zwankop Hi'ils ara .n 'he farm of the same name, where the 1 ug»la takes a great bend, ana most of the farm is bounded three sides by he Tugela. There is a drift here. Ihe Dewdrop Inn was a great •• outepan place on the road frcm Colenso to Van Reeuen a Pass, not far from Ladysmith, which is to the rich. Captain and Mrs Dick^EOu kept; it in ]870.

fc» TT IT ADATIO THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GREVT TRIUMPH OVER " HYDATIDS "} A grateful Patient givea unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this sweats Herbal K«m«Hv. Read carefully and mvestigata for yourself. 29 Paekingston et., St. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke Bt. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Ureat Herbal Remedy. " Vitadatio," haa been the sold means of saving my life I think the least X. can do i« to hand yon this testimonial, so that others sneering the same as myself may know that ther« is a certain reliable cure for them in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of mv case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatrnentof doctors in Fitzroy and B*. Kilda, as well as some of the best in Collins street. Some were of opinion that I» was suffering from consumption, whfhb others stated it was pleurisy. At ar>y rate they could give me no relief, let *lone cure me. You can easily imßgine that I had little hopa of ever being cured. But one d«y I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient) being somewhat similar to my own, Ithoughb I would give it a trial, with the result *thab much taking only two large bottle*, I felfc after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had tiken «?ight bottles I waa woodprfully recovered, but one day took veiy ilt, and vcmited up a lob of slimy I matter, which was afterwards examined by ! the doctor, and pronounced to be Pydatids. I continned to vomit: those "Hydatids" for some time, but at last it died avay Thia naturally left rpe weak, but I continued with the " Vitadatio," and gradually rr.y strength returned, unti? to-day I san honestly state I have never felt better in the whole of my liff. I consider "Webber's Vttadatio" a mirae'e-worker. I am well-known in Fi'zroy, and tberp are mai:y otl era Just as much astonished at my cure »b lam I phall be pleaced to speak to anyone »nd give fheni my own experience of the vorth of " Webhpr'e Vitsdatio." You are «t perfeob liberty to make what use yr-u lifce of thia testimonial. I may add I am new able to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years. —Y< urs very gratefully, Mra) CARRIE BOOKING TVitnea«-G X Richardsoiv, 3 9/9/99 VITADATI • IS * TKUIA* WONUER FUL Mi'MOINK.
