THP TROPICAL 
AGRICULTURIST. TMarch i, 1802. 
icasmueh aa the oonBumptiou has been stimulated, 
Slid gri'wers have been able to dispose of the larger 
yield at fairly sitiglactory piioes. Deliveries during 
the eleven mouths of the year have increased to 
49 203.000 lb. against 34,881,000 lb. in the same perioi 
in 1890. 
Tlie eatimntes for the year, covered by this lepoit, 
although exceeded ia tea, cocoa and coffee, bear 
testimony to the ccreful manner in which thi-.y were 
compiled by the Oompanj's superintendents, in con- 
junction W'th the visiting agent, Mr. W. Forbea 
Laurie, it being a very difficult matter to estimate 
what the crops of cccos and coffee are likely to be; 
vpilh tea, hotvever, it is less difficult. 
The mnrtg'ige over North Matale has now been re- 
duced to £11,500.

Another Eevival of Industry which appfars 
possible in these islands is thst of the mango trade. 
A small trial shipment ^as sent recently from Gre- 
nada New York, and found a remunarative sale. 
Through neglect, the mango has greatly degenerated 
in ihe West India Islands, but if oare were taken to 
develop the better kinds there seems to be no reason 
why a very profitable trade could not be developed 
in this firticle, — Pall Hall Gaette. 
What an American Physician Says about 
Ceylon Tea. — From an advertieement in the A^. Y. 
Express, we quote as follows: — 
Ceylon Planters' Tea Co., 5th Ave. and 16th St., 
New York City. New Y''ork, October 27, 1891. 
Dear Sirs : After many experiments in all forms 
of nervous troubles, and some of them the most 
susceptible, I will say the results have even surpassed 
my expectations, and I am in a position to fully 
indorse your claim. 
I have never know the tea to produce nervousness 
or other injurious effects, or cause any interference 
with medical treatment. 
I fact, I now look upon it as a help, rather than 
as a hindrance, and permit all my patients to use 
it, where I would be afraid to allow the use of any 
other tea. I am even inclined to the opinion that 
Ceylon tea aids nutrition of the nerves, and thus is 
not only free from injurious effects, but beneficial as 
a beverage. 
I feel it my duty to acquaint you with theai ex- 
]jeriences, as the subject is of the greatest importance, 
from the fact that thousands of persons suffer from 
nervous symptoms which can be traced directly to 
the use of tea and coffee. J n.-^e Ceylon 2'ea in my 
IiouHehold, and imii/d use no other. I wish you all 
success, and hope, for the sake of the nervous public 
that the day will come when you will have introduced 
Ceylon Tea into every household in the country. — 
Yours, very sincerly, G. A. Bonschur, m.d., 32 West 
27th St. New Y''ork, Specialist in Diseases of the 
Nervous System
