SOUTH AFRICA.

United Press Association—Ry Electric Telegraph™ Copyright

London, July, 24 Th 9 Eoyal clemency in judicially reviling the unexpired sentences on rebels and the fines still unpaid is unanimously praised as a further step towards the pacification of South Africa.

The Johannesburg correspondent' of thfli " Times " suggests utilising transports for bringing one hundred thousand unskilled English workers to tho Band, giving them a free passage, inasmuch as the initial ex periments in white labour have convinced the mine managers of the ultimate success of the arrangement.

BUSINESS NOTICES;' & J FLOATING KIDNEY, DISOBDERED LIVEB, CHBOMC INDIGESTION, i. NEUEALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACJ ME ERNEST A. CLEMENT, of th Taiti, who is in the employ of th Hutt County, Council, relates his mos remarkable case as follows:—" To Proprie tor Plantekoa. Sir, —I feel it my duty botl i to you and also suffering humanity to mak known the benefit I have derived from thi use of Plantekoa. I have been under treat lnent for years for my kidneys, liver, an( chronic indigestion. Under examinatioi the Doctors thought I had a float ing kidney, and prescribed medicine! and lotions for treatment, and in fad I have iodine and other things in th< house now that weae supplied to paint- mj back. In addition to the complaint men tioned I xised to suffer at times most ox cruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment 1 have tried almost countless Patent Medi cines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say that Plantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in a foot ball match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching, and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have USED PLANTEKOA OINTMENT with result that I have not the slighest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs, and hands were free. Suffice to say that whatever way it came Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the con dition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PLANTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A EIVAL." Ask your Chemist or Storekeeper for it. Full particulars' and testimonials on ap plication to PLANTEKOA PROPRIETARY, Wellington.

Boss Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Boss' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have j been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, 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. Iln 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. He 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 j I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits.
