Sun Drunkannass.

To become sun drunk is a condition into which any one may fall in the tropics. Exposure to the suns rays will reduce a man to condition al- most exactly resembling drunkenness. He stAggers about and is usually com pelled to lie down and sleep it off," Sun drunkenness is sometimes accom- panied by nausea. Another curious fact in connection with life in the tropics, where the sun rises at the same time ail the year round, is that if you do not get up before sunrise you do not feel well all day. You feel heavy, out of sorts and sickish.
