THE NEW CITY OF MANOA.
' When the Spaniards finally achieved the conqueßt of Peru they were led to believe that the greater part o£ 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 that 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 be situated in South Eastern Mexico. Since that time to the present the daring men of all the nations of the earth have been chasing a golden city in every quarter of the globe. Ballarat, Bendigo, the Thames, Charters Towers, Sud-Est, Croydon, and Bingera have been the recent Eldorados, and now from Western Australia come storias 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 even if he does not achieve it ? We of the settled states who eat three meals a day and consider our■elves martyred if we are unable to have ice in the torrid seasons, cannot imagine the sufferings of the gold Beeker in the extremities of hunger and thirst. The impure water, the irregular life, the dyspeptic diet and other punishments induce a list of troubles of which liver disorganation is the mildest and Bright'a disease the strongest form. These diseases and their various phases are absolutely curable by Warner's Safe Cure, aud, so far as we know, by no other medicine. Richard J. Haynes, Esq., Barrister, Howick St., Perth, W.A., writes thus : " I have used Warner's Safe Cure and can strongly recommend it 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 Safjs 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 I eompluints, &c.
