The Absence of Jamaica Ginger.

Jamaicans are apparently Jacks Of
all Trades. Hungry for the big wages
of Panama, school teachers, BARRIERS,
shoemakers, store clerks have focked to
the isthmus to find employment as ma \
sons, carpenters, blacksmiths and paint
ers indiflerently. They are wasteful;
they are stupid; they are possessed with
an unuttersble hatred of exertion other
than conversation, preferably on relig-
ious or ethical topics. Here are some
more statistics from my friend the
foreman Of painters: Hospital 54 il
a building about forty feet square; the
amount of white lead required for the
paint to be applied to IL would be,
here in the States, about rs pounds; it
was necessary to use $50 pounds of
white lead on the job; none Of it was
stolen; none was carried away; that
white lead and all the other wasted
materials which were with it are charge
able TO the Jamaica negro's inetliciency.
Yet the canal must be built with Ja-
maiean labor, in the main. Some work
men are being brought from Galicia in
Spain; some have been imported from
Martinique; a few. very few, have come
down from the United States.- Making

Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-AwfuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantile Ec-
zema Commenced at Top Of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

tour baby had that dreadful conn
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top Of bis head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable Of coping with the case, and
after various experiments Of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to d druggist and got
q full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three OF four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception Of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior to the treatment Of the Cuticura
