I have now tried the Plantation Bitters they helped me I continued their use, and am now nearly a well man. I know ot several similar cases. Respectfully yours, i Rev. J. S. Cathobn. I S. T. 1800 X. Intelligent persons aud physiciahi can judge on the efficacy of the Plantation Bitiers from the following partial formula : . ; ' 'I :- . i u CASCAR1LLA BARK Was known and used in Germany for Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhota, ChoJic,: Dysentery, and Dis eases cf the Sto.nach and Bowels, as early as 1090 DANDELION.

CALISAYA, OR KING'Sf BARK, Was uiikBOwnto civiUzation until the middle of the 17th century. Humboldt makes! favorable mention of the febrituge qualities pf this article as an Antidote Fever and Ague,i Intermittent and Malarious j Fevers, in his extensive South American travels. The Countess,5 wife of the Viceroy of Peru, having experienced the benefi cial effects of the Bark, sent it to Europe in 1640. It was sold by the Jesuits for the enormous mm of Us weight in silver, and was thus called. Jesuits' Powdeb.1 Iu 1658, Sir John Talbot employed it with great success in France, in the treatment of Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Nervous Affections, Loss of Appetite, Weakness and Debility, , Pal pitation of the Heart, Diarrhoea, fcc., under the name of English Powder; and in 1679, he sold the secret oi its origin to Louis XIV, by whom it was divulged.
