The Antarctic Expedition.

NEWS OP THE MORNING. CHBIBTCHUECH, August 19 TLe Hon. C. C. Bowen has received fur ther news of the Antarctic relief ship Morning. She calls at Madeira, and sails direct for Lytteltou, at which port she is expected to arrive in November. The instructions to Captain Colbeck are that after refitting and filling up with coals and provisions at Lytfcelton, He is to sail for the ice in December, proceed at once to Cape A dare, and search for records at various planes. If the Discovery is found Captain Colbeck is to extricate her frcrn winter quarters and then proceed as directed by Captain Scott. If the Discovery has rot wintered on the east coast of Victoria Land, Captain Col heck is to proceed eastward along the ice barriers to a place where Captain Scott landed in February, 1000. It was his in tention to leave a record here on theice, if possible. Should no. sign of the Dis covery be found in any part of the east coast of Victoria Land, Captain Colbeck will probably conclude that she has suc ceeded in penetrating unknown regions eastwards of 18i-w. meridian,. In that case the relief ship will not follow the Discovery. Captain Colbeck will not risk detention on the ice, bub will make for Lyttelton and await instructions.

"I HE following unsolicited Testimonial » by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself : — Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have 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. 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. 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 I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messes Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton.
