soldiers and St. Augustine monks ,j,
took posscss'ou in the name of Spain,
y The conquest was bloodless and was ^
\ singularly free from the cruelty and s
greed which marked similar Spanish s
colonization elsewhere. The monks r
/were actuated by a sincere desire to j
convert the natives and cultivate the ,
islands in their interest. The early
liistory was singularly peaceful and
under the Papist rule, Manilla sprang
up a mocl capital and an industrious
town.
It was situated on the island of
Luzon, the largest of the group.
Surrounding it were more than a
thou?and smaller isles, some forty of

the north, south and west to the Pa,

lay southeast of Hong Kong, the
nearest continental city, some 050
miles distance.

admirable harbor and soon becaini
one of the most beautiful in the world

Consumption Can be
Cured,
Nothing conld be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted
than the offer of T. A. Sloctim, M. O.
of New York city.
Confident that, he has discovered a
reliable cure for consumption and
all bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh and all conditions of wasting, and
to make its great merits known, he will
send free, three Ixittles to any reader of
The Times who may be suffering.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty?a duty which he owes to humanity
I to donate Ids infallible cure.
I He has proved the dreaded eonsumpj
tion to Ik* a curable disease beyond any
doubt, and has on tile in his American and
Euro]>ean lalioratorles testimonials of
experience from those benefitted and
cured, in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Consumption
uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Address T. A.
Slocum, M. C.. 5)7 Pine street. New .
York, and when writing the Doctor,
give express and ]x>stotlice address, ami
piease mention reading this article in .
