Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Ankylostomiasis in Antigua
The physical deterioration of the Labouring Class in Antigua is probably due to two causes. Throughout the island the men of the best physique and most initiative have for some years past been emigrating to America and Panama leaving behind the weaklings who are devoid of ambition or ability to improve their condition with the result that the island has been seriously affected and the labour market 'to' some extent depleted of its best workmen.
