Each plantation is supjjlied with medicines of every descrijitiun : e\'ery attention is thoreibre paid to ♦he sick, and as the diseases of our Negroes are of a simple oaturi" \X 57 is raiely neces'^ary, except in cas?s where surgical aid is required, to send for a physician. There are nurses on every plantation, whose business it is to do nothing but attend to the sick and administer to tlieir wants. In addition to which, in cases of severe illness, one or more of the family to which the invali...ds may belong are permitted tb wait upon them. The nurses ai'e also supplied with sugar, tea, rum, molasses and vinegar for the use of the sick. Their clothing consists of white plains, and they are also furnish- ed With London dufUl blankets of the best cjuality, a pair of shoes^, and a Coromantal Scotch cap. The blankets are given out once every three years ; and it often occurs from the natm-e of his work, tiiat a laborer may require another pair of shoes, which is given to him. Every woman has an additional blanket at the birth of every child, as well as clothes for her infant.
