The City of Manila is the heart of the Philippines; not geographically, indoel nor because it is the centre of popula tion, but because ever since the first European settlement, now nearly three centuries and a half ago, ita favourabl situation on the largest island of the Archipelago and its position as political empital lave given it 4-supremacy in nearly every spect, which never has beti and probably never will hi pierisced.

Perhaps the most striking part of it- interest for the sightseer may be sumuned up in ble sintendent that there are three Manilus, in three stråtå, which are still visible just as in Reide an originil pagar tample may be traced underneath medieval and a modéri Christian Church. for which it served sa foundation. First. thers is the Manila of the primitiv Malay, which, with its nipa shacks its aralinew, anil its quaint Sshing boats, existe much as it did in the "days of Raja Lacandola, are that an intruding civilization has prescribed a certain- minimum of clothing and made necessary a fair day's work. Secondly, there is the Manila of the sixteenth and seventeent's, century Spanisid-adventurer, morchant, and crusader in equal parts-who in the churches and convents, the walls and gates, and the half Moorish domestic architecture, has left ineffaceable arm. rials of the fact that this, the oldest of the European settlements in the East that are at present of much consequezer, was in its day among the chief glories of the ones imperial race.** Finally, there is the Americanised' Mantia of to- EK MERCANTILE BANK OF day, the town of winendamised roads and sewors and stuck bridges, not ancient or picturesque but fairly on its way, as the elaborate plans laid down by Mr. D.

Nervous Exhaustion, Neuralgia,
Sleeplessness -----
The fact that Mrs. Taylor did not give up her work, and did not go for a change, is cleat proof Phosferine prevented the pervoes breakdown which her doctor said was certain unless she grue it her duties Mrs. Taylor is not the sort who gives up easily, although she was word to a standstil with teurasthenia and sleeplessness, and realising that neither change ner rest was possible, she concluded the only certain way to keep going was to supplement her vitality with Phosferine. The actual benefit Mrs. Taylor experienced within a few hours exceeded, even the reliet she knew would result froin Phosferine, every nerve ceatre in her si se began to resima its activity, thus promoting her recovery with daily increasing rapidity. Now that all traces of nervous disorders are expelled, and she steeps sounder and eats better than ever, Mrs. Taylor urges other exhausted workers not to give up, but empley Phosferine to generate a new supply of nerve force and feel for themselves how capable, vivacious, and happy. matured this new energy makes everyone.
Completely done with.
Mrs. K. E. Taylor, 369, Goldhawk Road, Chiswick, writes The benefit I have received from Phosferine is almost incredible. I had been suffering for months from Neurasthenia, everything was abunden to me, bead pains and body pains were constant, I could not est, neither could I sleep. I felt utterly ill and wearied out, and after struggling on for some time, I was told by my doctor there was nothing for it but to give up my situation or to go away for a change. For many reasons, either would have been my last wish. I remembered Phosferine had done me so much good 14 years ago in a case of neuralgia and weakness following maternity, and so I started your remedy again. Leamsider it has ogdin worked miracles for me. I can eat and sleep well, and am able to perform my duties, which comprise not only household affairs, but brain work with ease and pleasure."---April 24, 1912.
