JAMAICA GINGER DRINK ERs,
A Taste That Once Acquired Settles
Into "a Disease.

A Taste That Once Acquired Settles
Into "a Disease.
The Hotel Mail says that the ginger
drunkard is an old acquaintance. Some.
times 1t is the yard man or waiter
who applies for Just leetle ginger"
but his best customers are among the
female employees of the hotel, and the
constant demand on the store room for
"few drops" of ginger amounts In
the aggregate to no small item of eX-
pense.
The effect of ginger on an habitual
partaker Is much the same as the con.
tinual use Of morphine, and the same
cunning exists in the manner of pro-
curing 1t, and the peculiar ghastly
complexion produced by the use of
morphine is invariably present in the
ginger drunkard.
The disease Is more prevalent among
scrubwomen and laundry girls than
chambermaids, but when it does attack
one of the latter class she will satisfy
her craving by drinking the cologne
found in the rooms of absent patrons
rather than make too frequent de.
mands on the housekeeper or steward
for ginger. One unfortunate girl drank
a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and
alcohol for months, after having been
refused daily morning nip OF ia.
maica ginger, and the strangest part of
her story was she was one of the best
workers in the hotel and had no other
vices
