Relief of Ladysmith.

WELCOME TO THE BELIEVING FOBCE. A correspondent of the Cape Times says Ladysmith's General (Sir Geo. White) promptly set out to welcome the gallant band. He with his staff met it in the principal street. It is difficult to say which side showed the greatest pleasure arid satisfaction — the men of Bullet's column or the devoted chief of. the Ladysniith garrison. The new-comers all along the route were cheered with enthusiasm* Women were seen crying with excitement and gladness. As General White turned to ride towards the relievers he received an ovation from the great gathering which filled the streets. At the Post office he stopped in response to cheers, and essayed to address the assembly. Sir George, struggling with the emotions aroused by the events of the afternoon, and the undoubted enthusiasm towards himself by the vociferous crowd, was not allowed to speak a sentence without cheering. He said : " I want heartily to thank you for the very great assistance you have given me during this trying time." Three cheers were then called for General White, Lady White. General Hunter, the staff, the Ladysmith Garrison, and the Powerful crew. Sir George continued : " This is indeed the nappy moment. Thar>k God, our flag has been upheld." Great enthusiasm greeted this sentence, and cheers were raided for the Queen and for the Prince of Wales. All present then joining in singing " Go Save the (Jueen." The General now called for cheers for Sir Bedvers Buller, which was greeted with prolonged cheering and the singing of " For he's a jolly good fellow." »ilence being obtained Sir George added,' "It has gone to the bottom of my heart to have had to cut down your rations, but I promise I will not do it again." (Laughter and cheers — amidst which Sir George and his staff galloped off.)

the aid of a stick. " I saw doctor after doctor and got medicine from the dispensary, bat nothing helped me. After two years suffering a lady who came to see me said she had been benefi'ed by Moiher Seige 's Syrup, and gave me a bcttle. Affer taking it a week I found myself improving; my appetite being better, and food agreeing with me. I had less sickness, and fe't better altogether. Continuing with this medicine the pain and nervous feeling soon left me. Since then I have kept in good health, taking a doae or two wnen needed. I have told many persons of what Mother Seigel's Syrup did for me, and you can pub ish this statement as you wish.

Distinct lung disease might or mi^ht not have followed ali tie lat--r. Tha point is this, and I want you pot to mis 3 it. Consump- | tion arises from the introduction of foreign bodies >nto the lungs, which com • oftener from the stomach than anywhere else, in ; the way I have d; scribed. Hence dyspnpsia causes it. . But dyspepsia causes wasting (as in this instance) rheumatism, bronehi'is, gout, impure blood, thin blood, skin eruptions, and a hundred aches and complaints from top to toe. As I have said times beyond couning I say again— life begins, life is nourished, and death begins in the stomach. Kvep it etrnight as long as you can with Mother Seigel's Syrup. That will do for now.
