Its career, during a period of 30 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part Of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.

The following opinions have been obtained
regarding the climate of Jamaica as suitable for
lnvalids and others of delicate constitution
and being from the highest Medical Authorities
in the Country they, may be received and enter
tanned as the c~ounsels Of experienced Physicians:
The Hon. DR.. BOwerbank's Opinion.
''There can be nc doubt, that where a predis-
position to tubercular or scrofulous disease ex,
lists, a residence here will often completely
check its further Development, and even during
the earlier stages Of tubercular consumption, if
It's progress is not arrested, life is often pro-
lOnged, and the disease Invested of much of its
suffering.
The Island from its position, and from its
great irregularity Of surface, presents a vast
variety of climates 50 much so, that for mere
change of climate, an Invalid need scarcely quit
its shores.
'The Island contains several Mineral Springs,
one Of which is thermal, and has been found of
great service in the treatment Of Rheumatic,
GOuty, and CutaneOuS affections. Another Of
these Springs is, an Aluminous Chalybeate, is
situate in the higher Mountains, in a most de-
lightful climate; and we're it better known and
more accommodation afforded, ! have little
doubt that many suffering from impaired health,
the result Of a long and continued residence in
the loWlands, might from its use, be restored to
health in lieu Of undertaking an expensive, and
too often inconvenient transatlantic trip besides
which, ! do not think, were the virtue of the
Spring its mild and delicious climate, its Grand
and Magnificent Scenery, made known, that it
would be too much to expect that InvalidS from
other Countries in search of that greatest of all
Observation-Disclosures be induced to visit
this fair spot in this Land of Springs"
DR., Campbell's Opinion,
"Ihe effects of residence in Jamaica on Eu-
rOpeans and Americans is usually beneficial,
especially on those who are predsposed to scrO-
fula or pulmonary consumption, or who have
evinced a peculiar tendency to colds and chro-
nical affections during the winter months. In
such cases the general health and physical ener-
gies usually undergo a rapid and marked change,
resulting in permanent good health"
DR.. Duan's Opinion.
Americans and Europeans will find a climate
here more congeniel to them, and one in which
they can carry on all the laborious e~xertions to
which they have been accustomed. The island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every industrial purpose. TIL slight deri-
walton Of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation of the
sea and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island q most desirable residence for invalids.

A BETTER WIrE.-A certain Dutchman,
the owner of house, had effected an .in>
surance on it for eight hundred dollars,
although it had been built for great deal
less. The house burned down, and this
Dutchman claimed the full amount for
which it had been insured. But the officers
ofthe company refused to pay any more
than its actual value-about six hundred
dollars. lie expressed his dissatisfac-
tion.in powerful broken English, interlard-
ing his remarks with some choice Teutonic
oaths.
.'If you wish it" said the cashier of the
company, tive will build you house
larger and better than the one burned, as
we are quite positive that it can be done
for even less than six hundred dollars"
10 this proposition the Dutchman OBJ
jected, and was at last compell, d to take
the six hundred dollars. Some weeks
after he had received the money, he was
called upon by the same agent, who want
ed him to take a policy of life insurance
on himself or on his wife.
IF you insure your wife;s life for
S20Oo,' the agent said, "and she die, you
would have the sum to solace your heart"
"Dat pc tam - exclaimed the Dutchman:
'!you 'surance fellers ish II tiefs if I in
sure my wife, and my wife she ties, and
goes to the Office to get my two thousand,

You say to me: She want worth two

six hundred dollars, We will get you pigger
