ITIS A TRYING CLIMATE.

The Weather Which our Men Experi- ence in South Africa.

Julian Ralph, writing to the London | Daily Mail, under date of De Aar, November 8, says:

breeze blowing through it. In the middle of that comes a Sudanese sand- storm made up of whirls that obscure the sun and piay hob with the camp, lifting up the skirts of the tent and coating everything red.

In one of these whirls you can lay a clean white handkerchief between two

over coats, and when you take it out it will look as it it had been soaked in beet-tea. After the dust whirl comesa tropic 1] thunder shower, at the end of

which the sun sets with a splendour no painter would dare to try to put on canvas. As for the effect of the climate on man, it is not fair to say it is healthy and let it go at that. If 1 may judge irom this part of Cape Colony in Nevember, it actually beats Colorado, in the United States.

The Boers’ Motive.

British opinion, as represented in oe newspapers and in the speeches of

pire was menaced. It will be observ- ed that the extraordinary efforts. which Great Britain is now making will vir— tually put an end to that danger. The war may be long and tedious, and may not be free from reverses, but the maintenance of British power in Natal and Cape Colony will be assured by the force which will shortly be present in South Africa. There is talk of some danger from loss of prestige. This, so for as India is concerned, may be a serious danger. But the attachment of Canada to the empire does not de- pend upon prestige, and _ the same remark is true of Australia. It is a poor sort of loyalty which is

SALT RHEUM TORTURES

Die away before the magical effect of

Dr. Chase’s Ointment

The tortures of Salt Rheum are almost be- yond human endurance, and as the flesh be comes raw, and the itching and burning tncrease, the suffering is so intense as to elmost drive one crazy.

In despera ition salves and ointments are applied, only to give rise to further disappoint- a@ent and despair.

But there is hope. There is assurance that you can be cured just as scores and hundreds ef others have been by using Dr, Chase's Ointment.

Mr. John Siron, of Aultsville, Ont,, writes: **For seven years I was a sufferer from Salt Rheum, and nt hands were so bad I had to wear greased gloves. Nothing seemed to help me, but I was induced to try Dr. Chase’s Oint- ment, and one ‘a cured me compl letely. There is not a trace of the Salt Rheum left.”

Dr. Chase's Ointsnent has effected most miraculous cures in all parts of this great Dominion. Could you have better assurance that it willcure you? For sale by all dealers, or Edmanson, Gates & Co., Toronta
