berg by forces from johannesburg may
confidently be expected within AZ
hours. The remnants Of Presidents
Kruger's and Steyn's armies will then
be separated and gradually hemmed in
and disarmed. The process ought not
to require much time as the Dutch
forces in the two sections cannot now
number More than 5000.
Rumors have been revived that Gen.
erals Botha and Dewet will surrender
their forces if they can gain any points
by negotiating, but these appear to be
premature. Dewet has not yet been
thoroughly beaten and Botha came near
surrounding French's troops during the
last battle. The story that the bridge
on the Delagoa railway was blown uI
by the premature explosion of mine is
hardly credible.

MODERN SLAVERY
Caused BY Weak, Exhausted Stomachs, u
Almost Universal.

You, reader, would not permit your
neighbor to call you out of bed at mid
night and oblige you to walk the pave
ment for two or three hours every
night. You would not allow him to
burn your hand wilfully, nor to cut
your finger off, just to please him.
Why, then, do you allow your stomach
to cause you loss of sleep, nightmare,
and continual suffering? Every dys-
pcptic, every sufferer from indigestion,
biliousness, heartburn, waterbrash.
catarrh of the stomach and other stom-
ach diseases, is a slave to his or her
stomach. There is one way-only one
of breaking the chains of this slav-
cry. That is by using Dodd's Dyspep-
sia Tablets.
These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach,
which is therefore given time to rest
and gain strength. They regulate the
bowels. which carry off the waste por-
ton of tie food not used in making
blood. thus the stomach is enptied
and prepared to receive the next meal.
No foul gas can form i'll the stomach
if you use Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for the food is digested by them at
once and does not remain in the stom'
ach to rot and cause disease.
