·MR SAVAGE 'LANDOR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Standard thus reviews Mr Savage Landor's book on the Philippines:-
Under the somewhat fantastic title of The Gems of the East Mr Savage Landor -has-give us an account of a long and in- terosting journey in the Philippine and Satu Archipelagoës, Credentials from Washington, which were cordially accepted ́by the local authorities, who placed at his disposal Coastguard cruisers, steam launch- es and other facilities, enabled him to gratify, as far as possible, his desire to go everywhere and see everything. The task was not a light one, for much ground had tq be covered, the Philippine Islands are Dumerous, and some of them large; he was absent from England exactly year, and spent 200 days of this in continuous travel among the islands, covering over 10,000 miles, which, as it gives an average of 64 miles a day, showe that he was much at sea, and on land did not let the grass grow under his feet. Thus his views must be to a certain extent 'im- pressionist; but he is an, experienced traveller, and accustomed to take in much at a glance, so that, apart from one or two rash assertions about medicine, geology, and Alpine climbing, he has written, a

beautiful islands. Their sconery in largoly volcanic, though activo craters are not numerous. Moyon, one of these, struck him as the most beautiful mountain he had ever seen, even surpassing, in the perfect symmetry of its outlines, Fujiyama, which, as his picture shows, it closely resembles, though the Japanese mountain is nearly half as high again. But Mayon, with its" sudden and violent eruptions, is the more formidable. One of these catastrophes, in June, 1897, devastated a largo area, the lava in some cases flowing for a distance of ovor two loaguos.. A ruined stoople, the sole rolic of a town which the author saw projecting among blocks of lava, was pro- bably a record of this outbreak.
Travelling in these islands, beautiful as they often are, is not without drawbacks. Some districts are very unhealthy— malarial fevers are common, as also are leprosy and many repulsive forms of skin disease; and during the author's journey cholera of a very bad type, sudden in attack and deadly result, was often provalent. It caused the death of native members of his party-in one case under very pathetic circumstances. Ignorance of all sanitary precautions, no doubt, does much to spread the disense, but the sick, at any rate, are not left to perish. One 1312 opisode, indeed, which occurred at a settle-

When I arrived the place was, for va- rious reasons, in a state of demoralisation. An American steamer called the Fanny had one day put in hero and left on the beach two, men infected with cholera. The na tives, with much good-nature, nursed these fellows, with the result that within the next few days 240 people died of cholera in the village. or nearly the entire population. Much ill-feeling and a deal of distrust was the outcome of this infamous deod, and the ignorant natives naturally accused the Am- ericans of maliciously intending to destroy the entire population, and brought the: usual accusations against officials of having poisoned wolls in return for the great friend- liness they had shown, towards the United States.'
This, however, it is only fair to say, is not a fair example of how the Americans treat the Philippinos. The former have n hard task before them; these islands, with their past history, made worso rather than better by the influence of European civilisa- tion, with their native inhabitants, of more

their best to cope with immenso difficulties, and this is especially frue' of the leading men. And he thinks that on the whole succoss, both educational and fiscal, though mistakes may be made, attends their efforts. In some islands treacherous and unscrapu- lous foes have made severity needful, of which he speaks in the following terms:-

These Mansakas were indeed as white as, in fact whiter than, Europeans. It was the ivory white of Latin races, and not the pinky complexion of Anglo-Saxons, but that they were white there could be not the slightest doubt. This does not mean that they come from the same stock as we do, - nor is their colour derived from stray wrecked European crows which have dwindled in the interior and intermarried" For from it. It is mainly due to these people living in the dark forest, or in dark huts, and being seldom exposed to the light of the sup. Also to their vegetable diet. and to undue proportion of sweet food, which is bound to affect their blood, and eventually their complexion, and the con- stant immersion in water when moving about, the waterways being the only ones by which comparatively quick travelling can be effected in these regions.'
Travellers cannot always count friendly reception, though Mr Savage Landor did not find the nation so persis- tently inhospitable as the Tibetans of Lhasa. Cannibalism is not unknown, and pirates are sometimes formidable to small or ill-armed ves els, but the chief risk is in of the tribes are Luzon, where some enthusiastic collectors of human' heads- that of a white man being, no doubt, specially attractive as "a great rarity.'

YHRONIC DIARRHOEA.--For several
years during the summer months I have been subject to looseness of the bowels, which quickly ran into a very bad diarrhoea and this trouble was frequently accompanied with severe pain and cramps. I used to call on doctors for my trouble but it became so egular a summer affliction that in my search for relief, I became Acquainted with Chamberlain's Colic, Cho- lera and Diurrhoea Remedy, which proved so effective and so prompt that I came to rely exclusively upon it, and what also happily surprised me was that while it almost instantly relieved the crampa and stopped the diarrhoea, it never caused con. stipation.
