Dear Sirs,—l would like to inform yon that, when I arrived in Wellington, a little over twelve mentha ago, I was terribly run down in health. For two or three weeks I was unable to take any; aefeivei part in any meetings, I was com pletely worn oat, and always had that tired, languid feeling we hear bo much sbonfc, and neither Bleep nor food seemed j to refresh me, or do me any good. Someone advised me to try " PLAKTE KOA.f* which I did, and after I had : 'taken HJkXS? If BE COHTffiNTS OF THB BOITI-K I felt much betcer, and I am delighted to tell yon that) from that date till the time of writing this note (over twelve months) I have enjoyed the beat of health, and {my work is a pleasure. If these few lines are of service to yen, make use of'the ra. Yoars sincerely, Mrs Captain Lock, The testimonial of Mrs Lock shooM be of interest to Ashbnrton residents, she having spent some considerable time In this district, before faking ' Plant*koa Mrs Lock had tried almost every remedy friends could suggest.

Lord Dundonald on Lessons of the War

Major.General the Earl of Don donald was the guest of the New Vagabond Club at (be Hotel Cecil, London. The first lesson, he said, that all of them learned was the immense power of the modern rifle, and how a few determined men could hold a position against superior natn bers, »nd hold it almost for an in* definite time. Thit power of ♦ few men to hold positions where they could obtain cover made one refect how very bold a foe would have to be who should invade Great Britain with any chance of success considering all the cover given b? the enclosed nature of the country. Another thing one could not help noticing in this war was the immense advantage of mounted men. Mounted men gave a power to a General of making a taming move ment when he could not get to hii front in a direct way. But he did not agree with the general idea of what a mounted infantry man should be. We generally heard that he should be ft first class rider and first class shot. He said that the mounted infantrj man of the future would be a first class walker and a first class shot, and a man who could stick moderately well upon his. horae. (Pear, hear, and cheers) He looked upon the hone at the means only of prolonging the mobility of the rifleman, and placing in the hands of the General a power to send men to a farther distance than b« otherwise could do. In referring to affairs in the Transvaal, he remarked that it bad been said that there bad been much burning of farms, and that the inhabitants had been treated harshly. But in war which assumed ft guerilla aspect, and where one-half of fhe combatants did not wear any distinctive uniform, ifc was inevitable that there must be some instances of harshness and some instances of in justice ; and he believed that there had been. But these bad been the exception and not the rule: and the people responsible for them were not the British people but those among thi Eoers who had incited others to guer* ilia warfare long after the legitimate warfare had ceased. (Cheers.)
