Buller's defeat at Colonso, effectually disposes of any hope that tho war in South Africa is nearly ended, and completely abates tho myth that the operations tluirn wnon nwiimlo /vf n viivi v ?? ci vj iiiwi y ? m (i 111 <1 naturo. As Mr. Lloyd-George (Liberal) said in the house of commons to-oay: "This is one of the most severe reverses suffered by the British, and it is quite evident the war will drag on for many months to come. De Wet is making England the laughing stock of the world. Wo have 2\0,000 men in the field,yet we aro unable to protect ourselves from disaster at the hands of small commandos drawn from a pastoral population." Tho extent of the reverse and the disgrace of such a largo body of men surrendering to a small contingent of Boers lias created a feeling of shame and fistonishment which finds free ''W' W ^ WW ^Srw % 3*1 ORIOUS 1 Banki lean sweep of everythi ces us to add anotl vn the middle walls ar ust make room for car; and morter later on. ^ IAS BARGAINS IPortb of tion. .

All the forebodings and criti cisms which Colenso gave rise to a yoar ago have been rosur rected by the disaster at the Magaliesberg. Tho war office has nothing to do but "grin and bear it" and trust to time, Until Gen. Kitchener's forces are transformed into mounted infantry and the mounted police get to work Mr. Broderick sees little hope of improvement in the military situation. But whoever was responsible for the surrender at the Magaliesberg is likely to suffer, for the new war office officials arc determined to make examples of generals any other officer? guilty oi such gross mismanagement, or worse, which, it would seem, must have occuri red at this last defeat. This ; stern attitude on the part of the government, however, hy nc means decreases tho scorn and ignominy with which certair Liberal members of parliament who are avowedly pleased bj the Roer successes, are regarded by the major part of the com m unity. !

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is hy oonstittilional ~ remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a ruinblinir ?ound or imnerfect hurimr ?na when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamaLioti can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
