Lord Kitchener Reports More Warm Work, Last Week, In the

CASUALTIES NUMEROUS ON BOTH SIDES.
CommandaBt Potgeiters Among the Boer kiIled-The British Cap turod Three Guns and n Quantity of supplie--A strong British Pa trof Captured by Boers.

Fictftious.

It is very seldom taat we pay much at tention to reports circulated ln reference to the virtue of q patent medicine, as we have always considered that reports of this nature were more or less fictitious ana got ten up for the purpose of creating q d,mand
 from the public But the publication in various papers of the wonderful results ob- tained from using that famous remedy St. Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that 1t IS a
 remedy for outward application only, led
 us t0 make trials Ot It in our own family. One, case of lumbago of long standing which had previously resisted every form of treatment, Vas permanently cured by a few applications oi the Oil. Another was
 sprained ankle with severe pain. Fms
 was instantly l. eyed and permanently cured in few days by the use of St. Jacobs Oil. while for severe toothaehe and neuralgia # acted almost like magic, quickly did the pain depart after the Oi was applied. Our own experience in using the Oil, as above indicated, was so highly satisfactory that we determined in the interest of the gen eral public to make thorough local lnves- tigation among dealers and others who have sold and used St. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing Messrs. Taylor and Co. as headquarters for all proprietary medicines, we called at their Brggate Store. and on making known the object of our visit to the general Manager, he stated that their three stores in Leeds were selling more than a thousand bottles of St. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade was constantly increasiug-that 1t was the most popular remedy sold and was highly spoken of by everyone who used it. The Manager said he had heard hundreds of people say they had been permanently cured of rheumatism. neuralgia sciatica and sim liar complaints by the use of this famous Oil.

 Mr.Julian Weisslitz 176 Seneca street, Buffalo, N. Y, is corresponding secre- tary of The Sangerlust, of New York; is the leading second bass of the Sanger lust, the largest German singing society of New fork, and also the oldest.
 In 1899 the Sangerlust cele brated it's fiftieth anniversary with large cele- bration in New York City. The follow ing is his testimony:
 About two years ago l caught severe cold while travelling and which settled into catarrh of the bronchial tubes, and so affected my voice that 1 was obliged to cancel my engagements. In distress, was advised totry Pcruna, and although l had never used patent medicine before, 1 sent for bottle.
 Words but lily describe my surprise to find that within few days l was greatly relieved. and within three weeks I was entirely recovered. 1 am never without it now, and take an oc- casional dose when 1 feel run down. Julian Wcissiitz.

BRIEF POINTERS.

Our bad habits are merely those things we enjoy which other people do not.
 Deal gently with folks who make YOU weary. There are others whom you make weary.
 What we think of the weather is not altogether dependent on the humidity and temperature.

Peruna a Preventive and Cure for Colds.
 Mir. c. k. Given, Sussex, N. B., Vice President of ''The Past-time Boating Club" writes:
 Whenever the cold weather sets in l have for years past been very sure to catch a severe cold which was hard to throw off, and which would leave after effects on my constitution the most of the winter.
 Last winter I was advised to try Peruna, and within five days the cold was broken up and in five days more was a well man. l recommended it to several of my friends and all speak the highest praise for it. There ks nothing like Peruna for catarrhal affiicfi0ns. 1T is we'll nigh fnfaIfibie as q cure, and gladly endorse 1T. "---C. F. Given.
 Gave New Life and Strength.
 Mr Edward Laws, Crown Point, Ind, writes the following:
 ..I must tell you what a grand help Peruna has been to me. For over two years l suffered with catarrh of the lungs and throat. and although l doe tored for it. nothing brought ne relief until l tried Peruna. One bottle helped me greatly, and three more effected q complete cure, while at the same time it gave such new life and strength to my whole body that l feel like new man and ten years younger.
