INFORMATION for IMMIGRANTS. 



Having finished the sketch of the several islands of 

 this archipelago, which -will serve as a guide to tourists, 

 and enable persons living abroad to form a tolerably 

 correct idea of them, we will endeavor to answer a few 

 of the inquiries which the reader will be likely to make, 

 if disposed to migrate here, with the view of settling 

 permanently. 



1. — Is the climate healthy for natives of colder lati- 

 tudes ? 



It most certainly is a very healthy one for all foreign- 

 ers, wherever they may have been born. As a general 

 thing, foreigners from any part of the world, enjoy as 

 good health here as they did at home ; while for inva- 

 lids there is no better climate in the world. Consump- 

 tives and others affected with constitutional complaints, 

 who come here before disease has gained control of 

 them, and who can find a light occupation, that will 

 employ without overworking the mind and body, may 

 prolong their lives many years, while in some cases 

 cures may be effected. Acute diseases are more rare, 

 here than in colder countries, where the changes of cli- 

 mate are more sudden. Those who are industrious and 

 obey the laws of nature and of God, need have little 

 fear of the ills of life so common in colder climates.
