Splendid Record of Sir James Willcocks

TEIBFI'E FROM TITS KTN(*

Mr Brodrick, S<-»orKary of State for War, in proposiug tl.o health of .^ir jUmOT Willcoeks %<■< th« dinner given hy officers of the Goomaasifl Relief Expedition In London on April 17ih, said ;—There are two thin^w which, io relation to thesfc expeditions, most strike any man aa p-iinta on wh'c Englishmen may pride thenrHft vw. The Gratis that after these pxpfidirions you find men who are willing, at a tun - when there is much duty fob« do«« and liltle glory to ba won, tn to nosfc remote and unhealthy climates, there §o pursoe thn q<)ipt task of administration firmly and justly, ■ and obtaining thp confidence of the natives uver whom this Krapire extends 1 I Oftnnot. h^lp fpeling that we at home .rho.oM do very ill if wt> forgot th'-* efforts of those m«n in the face of a*©' 1" brilliant nchif vf>mfiibs f which are daily bro Jght to otsr notice. (Hear, hear.) The second point is the extraordinary power which English officers bare developed of making use of native troop.*. (Hear, boar, and cheers) Thiak of the four campaigns in which we have been engaged in the last year. In China, almost without Fnropean feroops, on behalf of her late Majegfcy.oar Indian troops held their own witn-fhe troops of all foreign nations. But think of this, thai; in China i self British officers are not afraid to lead against the Chinese & regiment of Ohin bsb of not more than twelve montha* stanciing,*who trader the British officers held themselves bravely in the face of their own race, and took a part in the achievements which, in company with, their Indian brothers, they carried oat. Again, any nation might bo glad to think of what had been achieved in under British officers by the Soudanese, tnd by the Egyptians, fust ts we aro proud of what has been accomplished in Central Africa and in Aohan^i With regard to the effect on ttrperia! rule of what those now present have achieved, I would s-y that if it is the penalty of an Empire that we are engaged in these Ixpeditiona to protect oar boundaries, so it is the justification of am Empire if we can find to carry them out m^n who are able, not merely to make content under oar rale those territories which we annex, bat also to attract volunteers to our standard— soldiers whom we may employ with the assistance of white men. lam asked to propose the health of a man who has had experience not only in India, in the Soudan, and West Africa, bat ftlao in Barraah, and other Asiatic ; and it is no exaggeration to say tSw if yoa want a microscopic history of the achievements of th<» British Array for the iasfctwen'y years, yoa cannot do better than turn op a p»go in which the active service of Sir Jaaieß Willcocke is recorded in the Army List (Cheers) I think I am right, in saying that in the last twenty yearl, beginning with Afghanistan, he , has been employed in nine separate expeditions ; and if he has nofc been employed in South Africa at the same time, h h only because it is physically impossible even for a man of genius, to be in two places at once. (Laughter, and hear, bear) Before I sit down I i have to say that I am charged to con- j vey to fc^ir James Willcocka and bis comrades of th» AahnnH Field Force the hi|»h appreciation of His Mnj^ety the King, who, hearing of this dinner, ordf-red me to inform thote who were members of the force that no* only he himself, bat her late Majesty, ev*»n amidst the en^rowing carea of the South African War, had never for gotten the perseverance, the courage, and the success of those who maintained her: late Majesty's Army in West Africa under Sir James Willcock-. (Cheers.)

Strong Testimony.

THIS IS ASHBURTON TESTI MONY AND WILL STAND IN VKBTIGATION.

If yora doubt the following and wish to investigate yon haven't to go to some other town ia the colony to prove it It's not a long story published in the Ashbarton papers aboat a resident of Auckland or Wellington: It's about; a resident of Asbburton *nd given in his owe words. What proof conld be better or strongpr ? Mt George Halleburton, Engineer, Oox street, Ash burton, says .—'l have suffered mosi terribly with the kidneys. Many is the time t have had to knock off work through the pains which this malady caused me. Pains in the spine below the shoulders were the worpt and these made me pretty vrell helpless. The secret iooa wore disordered and contained a deposit like brick-elai>t, and were always scalding. I used to t»ke purgatives for this ailment and until I got Doan's backache kidney pills I looked upon them as my standby. • The purgatives did me very little gord but the most good I knew how to obtain. Doaa'd backache kidney pills however. were an education (o me. I know n<<w that pnrgatives are injurious in the long ran Bonn's backache kidney pilla did me good without in any way weakening me; 'I hey acted splen didl» on the system throughout it seemfd, and relieved mo from heat' to ht-al. I lost all the pains and my Bf.cretiims wire restored to * proper condition. I strongly recommend the use of Boon's backache kidrey pills; Ma! y in N«w Zealand suffer with the kidneys and here is a kidnry medicine which wiil keep them in good h-alth. I prorraed this remedy at the Ashburton Bmg More.

Like the flight of the *K§2* I!%S swiftest bird is tlie prog -si^ii!K\ ress of a hacking cougb * Into consumption. First a cold, then a settled cough, then slow fever, night sweats, and hemorrhages. Don't neglect your cough. Stop it at once and drive away all thought of consumption. Begin as early as possi ble—tiie sooner the better—to take the most effective remedy for coughs of every kind and in every stage. One of the most annoying coughs is a throat cough, whero you have that Constant tickling in your throat, lit comes on worse at night, keeps you awake, and makes you have tbeat smothor.d feeling in the chest. It hardly seems possible what one dose of Cherry Pectoral will do for this kind of a cough, it brings such marked relief. * ■ Put up in large and small bottles. When the cough gets down deep in the chest and the lungs are painful, put one of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Plasters directly over the tender lung. It will draw out all the soreness. Prepared by Df. J.
