| Publisher Description: "I send this from the Orizaba, one of the finest, if not the finest, of the fine steamers of the Orient Line that keep open the communication between this country and Australia; and this is how it came to pass. One day last summer I was stand-ing on the deck of a steamer, when a gentleman remarked to me, "I come from a country where they have had no rain for nine months.‟ "Where is that?‟ said I. "Australia,‟ was the reply; and im-mediately I made up my mind to go there. As is the custom of most of us, I talked the matter over with my friends, some of them in the first rank of the medical world." |
