An invalid physician, sojourning in the tropical island of St. Croix, observing ths habits ot the natives, gathered the recipe lor the final accom plishment of this most important end. The arti cle was first used as a private medicine; when its 6alutary effects becoming known, it was brought out under the name of , i DRAKE'S PLANTATION J BITTERS. They act with unerring power, with the pleasure of a bevera2e. and are taken most wonderful cures in stubborn cases of Dys pepsia, Liver Complaint, Wervous Anections, Loss of Appetite, Intermittent Fevers, Diarrhoea, Sour Stomach, Headache, Fever and Ague, Weakness, Mental Despondency, &c. 1 As a morn ing appetizer and after dinner tonic, they should be in ej'ery family. They are a delightful exhile rating stimulant, without any subsequent stupe ymg reaction. IMPORTANT CERTIFICATE. i Rochzstek, December 28th, 1851. Messrs. P, H. Dbakjs. Gentlemen : I have suf fered terribly with Dyspepsia for three or four years, and tried many remedies without effect. .1 had to abandon my profession, and suffer id great ly from everything ! ate. I have tiow tried the Plantation Bitters they helped me4-I continued their use, and am now nearly a well man. I know ot several similar cases. Respecttully yours, - JJEV. d. 4 UATHOKNr S. T. 1860 -X, Intelligent persons and pliysiciansijcau judge n the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters from the on tne emcacy following partial formula : CASCARILLA BARK . Was known and used in Germany lofi Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhwa, ChoJic, Dysentery and . Dis eases ef the Sto jiach and Bowels, a3 early as 1690 'It DANDELION. For Innamatiobs,of the Loins and; Spleen in Dropsical Affections and Biliary Secretions, or Obstructions of the Abdominal Viscera. CALISAYA, OR KING'S BARK, Was unknown to civilization until the middle of the 17th century. Humboldt makes' favorable mention of the febrituge qualities of this article as an Antidote Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers, in his extensive South American travels. The Countess, wife of the Viceroy ot Peruj having experienced the benefi cial effects of the Bark, sent it to Europe in 1640. , It was sold by the Jesuits for the enormous sum of its weight in silver, and was thus called Jesuits; Powdek. In 1658, Sir John Talbot employed it? with great suecess in France, m the treatment ,ot Fever and Ague,' Dyspepsia, Nervous Affections, Loss of Appetite, Weakness and Debility, Pal pitation of the Heart, Diarrhcea, &c, under (the name of English Powder ; and in 1675 he sold the secret ol its Origin to Louis XIV, by wom it was divulged. It is now a standard remedy in all Pharmacopoeia, and is employed in prepatT ing the Plantation Bitters. j ; CharnomUle Flowers, for enfeebled Digestions ; irmferreenvyaluable -for Scrofula, Rheumatism, and N eifatic Affections : Lavendir Flowers. ! aro matic, stimulant and Tonic, highiy invigorating in Nervous Debility ; Anise, an aromatic carmi native, creatine flesh, muscle and milk, j Much used in nursing. S. T.; 1860 X. Another ingredient of remarkable land wonder ful virtue used in the, preparation of these ! Bit ters, is a native of Brazil, and a yet .unknown to the commerce of the world. Spanish writer says : m u . ', ( . ; ? ..: ' ! ;.
