Lord Milner on the Future of Natal.

Durban, October 20th.—Lord Mil ner trrived this afternoon His Excel lency w»8 receif ad with enthas'aßm by the tTitlatiderß and towspeople, and was prrß=>nted with an address of wel come by the Mayor aft the Town Hall. Lord Miiner, in reply, thanked the residents of Durban for the great ser vicea they had rendered rduring the great crisis At the very outset of the long struggle he had had the good for tune to win the confidence of the people | of Durban, and during the most trying hoars of the struggle he bad always found them staunch supporters and lenient critics. He wished that he could have congratulated them that South Africa waa at rest, bat he h»i come to the conclusion that it was no use waiting until the war was o?er. ' •Ina formal sense, 8 continued h'B Excellency, {the war may never be over, but it is burning itself out. In , the Babaidence of ev.-ry conflagration you may see fhtnes keep breaking out over and over again, first at one point and then at another. Some of these Bpurts are very fierce and look very alarming. Still truy corue to nothing becAoßß there is nothing left for them to feed upon. The moment ihe hose h tamed on they die out. We have had each 8 lately, tiud we must be prpparei to have such experi ences again. But, regrettable as it is, that precious l.yea should still be loa' from day to d-iy, and that large pa^ts of South Af ica should still bo in a state of. ruinou* disorder, I think it w u'd be a great mistake to allow thpse cirenmatancra to prevent a gradual resumption of -normal life and a gra dual restoration of the conquered ter ritories, not onlyindnatrially, but even to some extent agriculturally.' {(More is being dine in that repppct tbae possibly people are generally «a>war®, but personally I ara of opinion that stiil more could and ought to be done ia the immediate future. We ought to show ourselves masters of the house which we have taken by rebuild ibg.it and beginning to live in ib." In conclusion Lord Miiner urged upon the people of Natal the necessity of largely extending (he agricultural population, ' Thousands of men among the Oolotsial for6es and the Yeomany," he eaid, ' are willing to stay, v?ha would make a great and useful addition to the population, strengthening in every way the progressive and loyal portion of the colbntßtß.' (Loud cheers.)

Indigestion and Biliousness,; CLEMENTS TONIC SUCCEEDS, j The Case of Mrs. M, A CADE. , {By a Special). No. 58, Park-road. Addington, is the residence of Mrs. Mary Ann Cade, who recently verified certain extraordinary statements which had arested the atten tion of a special writer. . In answer to the reporter's question as to the nature of her remarkable experiences. Mrs. Cade said: — "The doctor told me I was suffering from indigestion and biliousness. I was really m a very perilous condition, and suffered enough torture to. last me a lifetime. I thought I would never get over my sickness, in view of the fact that so many complications set in, and the doctor's medicines were in operative." "Can you describe your several ail ments, Mrs. Cade?" " I should rather think so. Abom inable stabbing pains came between my shoulders, and I was likewise afflicted in the lower part of my right side. When I had eaten a few mouthfuls of food my stomach felt as if it were over loaded, and immediately followed eruc tations of wind. The wind moved back wards and forwards, causing terrible paroxysms of agony, besides promot ing an unnatural quick beating of my heart. These indications of disease frightened me considerably, and I had still greater reason to feel alarmed when I noticed my face become a deathly white, and my lips almost colorless. I was always drowsy and dejected, feeling as though there was nothing in the ' world for me to think about. For a while I could sleep fairly well, although. I was troubled with nasty dreams, and never experienced any benefit from the slumber I obtained. In course yf time, .• however, I found it more difficult to get to sleep, being kept awake many a long night through, by anxious forebodings and bodily tor ment. Sometimes the dreams were so dreadfully repulsive that I suddenly awoke from them, and lay in a state of doubt as to whether they were real or not. I was exceedingly nervous and excitable, the most simple thing setting me in a frenzy of terror." "How did your strength keep up under the strain?" "It soon faded out of existence. Weakness became so pronounced that I could not raise a chair without con siderably exerting myself. If I sat down all day I still felt fatigued and weary; but I could not rest always. I had several attempt's at doing a little work, the result being that I was soon completely prostrated with the effort, besides having agonising pains darting through my limbs, and I could not stand up straight. I was further weakened by periodical attacks of neuralgia. Ter ribly acute pains darted through my templo-s and worked up to the top of my head. These maddening pains often lasted, without a moment's respite, for a week at a stretch. My body was now as thin as a skeleton. My medical adviser said I would get rid of the neuralgia when I regained my strength. If I had to wait till then I would have gone mad, because his medicines did not strengthen me in the least. . I then tried several medicines, which I saw ad vertised, but they, too, failed to afford relief. Despondency beyond measure fell upon me. . Then a small booklet was handed to "me one day, containing some marvellous cures resulting from the use of Clements Tonic, I ascertained that they were tiue, and then started on a course myself. That was the turning point in my career, for I gradually gained an all-round improvement in my health. Considering the non-success of my doctor's and other medicines, it is really astounding how quickly Clements Tonic cured my complaints. First, my nerves were toned up, and the neuralgia was put under. Then my appetite came back in conjunction with the great reviver—sleep. The sick headaches and body pains departed one by one, leav ing my limbs lithe and active. A tinge of red came into my cheeks, and I threw off that distressing feeling of despon dency. Having the right physic at last I persevered with it till there was not a trouble., of any sort unconquered. Neuralgia never affects me now, and my diseased liver was made healthy and sound by Clements Tonic." " May your statements appear in print? "Yes. Many people may benefit ■ thereby, so you can publish these facts in any way you like."



STATUTORY DECLARATION, I, Mary Ann Cade, of No, 58 Park Road, Adding, ton, Chrlstchurch, in the colony of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have care fully read the annexed dDCument, consisting of two folios and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and falthlul account of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic and also contains my full permission to publish in any way my statements, which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, Intituled " The Justices ot Peace Act, 1882," Declared at Addlngton, N.&, this thirteenth day 0! December, one thousand nine hundred, before me, JOHN C. SOPP, J.P.
