THE NEW CITY OF MANOA.

When the Spaniards finally achieved the conquest of Peru they were led to bfilievs that the greater part of the gold and jewels had been hidden by the conquered. The survivors were subjected to awful tortures as a persuasive to confession, but the treasure was never found. From fchat time daring adventurers roamed the Spanish main in search of golden cities, and stories of fabulous wealth were freely .circulated. The most common of these was told of the city of Manoa, a mythical place paved with gold and supposed to lie situated in South Eastern Mexico. Since that time to the present the daiing men of all the nations of the earth hare been chasing a golden city in every quarter of the globp. Bal-lai-at, Bendigo, the Thames, Charters Towers, Sud-Est, Oroydon, and Bingera have been the recent Eldorados, aud now" from Western Australia come stories of gold held together by quartz and the fortune-seeking argonaut of Australia is convinced from the newspaper reports that the real new city of Manoa is to be approached from the dry clay pans of Coolgardie. And who shall say he will not earn his city if he does not achieve it. We of the settled states who eat three meals a day and. consider ourselves martyred if we are unable to have ice in the torrid seasons cannot imagine the sufferings of the gold seeker in the extremities of hunger and thirst. The impure water, the irregular life, the dyspeptic dieb, and other punishments induce a list of troubles of which liver disorganisation is the mildest and Bright's disease the strongest form. Those diseases and their various phases are absolutely curable by Warner's Safe Curt), and, so far as we know, by no other medicine. Richard J. Haynes, Esq., Barrister, Ho wick St., Perth, W.A., writes thus : — 'I have used Warner's Safe Cure and can strongly recommend il to any persons troubled with affections of the liver. Indeed, in a hot climate, where one is liable to suffer from, the various forms of liver complaint, no better remedy can be found. Apart from my own experience, I know of several persons in Perth who were constant sufferers, and who have been relieved and restored to health by the use of Warner's Safe Cure.' This medicine is the specific for the dwellers alike in the city and the bush in all cases of Bright's disease, gravel, bladder, kidney and liver troubles, female complaints, etc.
