Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What I Saw in the Tropics: A Record of Visits to Ceylon, the Federated Malay States, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Republic of Panama, Colombia, Jamaica, Hawaii
As a scientific treatise it may be scorned by some intellectual ones who have a string Of letters following their names - (i wish I had them myself) but whose attenuated digestive organs preclude the possibility Of wedding fun with fact.
At all events the statements regarding rubber made herewith are facts and can be gambled on. As to my personal experiences and adventures, think of them as you like.
