DE WET'S WELCOME BY THE WOMEN.

(Eeceived June 17, 9.2 a.m.) London, June 16

The inmates of the concentration camp erected an arch inscribed, " Welcome to our Braves." De Wet was surrounded by thou sands of women and children, struggling to shake hands with him. He thanked the women, saying that if they had been less staunch the burghers would have surren dered long ago. "We are now for the first j time, said he, under the British Govern ment," adding," I am under it, having fought till there was no more hope. It is a thoroughly lawful Government to-day. God has thus decided, siummoning us as Christian people, to be faithful to our new Government. Let us submit to God's over ruling will. I exhort you to serve the new Government loyally with myself and the burghers.

I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, mdige&tion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. Ho brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I ; always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and ■ I wish you the success with it that such a ' medicine merits.

Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract— Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King ©f Italy,- awarded Diplo ma at the International Exhibition, Am sterdam ; acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the globe. That the crude, resinous oils, which are now foisted upon the public under the name of Eucalypti Extracts, may not be mistaken for Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, we state:—lt is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Qriefswald (Prussia), that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the curative properties possessed by the plant. To avoid the appalling consequences result ing from the application of substitutes, etc, in croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, dysentery, internal inflammation, etc., insist on getting Sander and Sons' Puke Volatile Euca lypti Extract and be safe. IT IS A FACT That Wilton a Bovo-ferrum is acknow ledged by physicians to be the best curative agent yet discovered for nervous prostration brain exhaustion, and for the prevention of all weaknesses caused by nervous strain, worry, mental overwork, or excesses of any description. It possesses in the highest degree the life sustaining power. To be had of all chemists and storekeepers, j ■Made only by Geo. W. Wilton, Chemist,' Caba Street, Wellington.
