cordia in 1595, and also under the control of the Viceregal Patron, cares for whatever invalids present themselves. It has six physicians, one pharmaceutist, one lady superior, twenty-two sisters, two chaplains, one head nurse, eight resident medical students, and the number of other qualified assistants that the service requires. The Hospital of San Lazaro, founded in 1578 by the Franciscan order, is for the care of leprous patients. The Manila Monté de Piedad and Savings Bank, organised in 1880 under the control of the Viceregal Patron, is designed, first, to receive pledges of furniture, jewellery, and household articles, against which it lends money at the rate of six per cent. per annum, and, secondly, to receive savings deposits, où which it pays four per cent. per annum. It has several branches. Matters relating to public health and charity are under the supervision of the General Department of Charity and Health, which has under it the Board of Charities and of Marine Sanitation, the bathing establishments, the lesser Boards of Medicine, Pharmacy, the Association of Graduate Physicians, the vaccinating staff, and the city hospitals and leper retreat. There is also a Society, founded in 1780, called the Royal Polytechnic Society of Friends of the Country. Its object is to promote investigation into the arts, science, commerce, and trade. The Library Museum was formally opened in 1891. There are three banks in Manila, the Spanish Philippine, the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, and the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, the last of which has also a branch in Iloilo. There are numerous social societies, among which are the Spanish Casino, the Musical Society of the Philippines and of Saint Cecilina, the Manila and Nagatayan Club with a branch in San Gabriel, the German Union Casino, the Mariquina Gun Club, the Gun Club of San Juan del Monte, the Manila Jockey Club, the Manila Lawn Tennis Club, and the Cycle Club of Manila. The Chamber of Commerce was established in 1886. Its object is to watch over and protect the interests of commerce, trade, and shipping, and in the capacity of a Mercantile Court to pass upon the questions and contentions that may be submitted to it by its members. The Mint was authorised by Royal decree on the 8th September, 1857; the coinage began in 1861 and ceased in 1889, and in 1893 the establishment was reopened for the striking of subsidiary coins.
