Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1862-12-13
Very respectfully, yours,
P. II DRAKE & co,

These gentlemen give the history of certain
ingredients of their article for over two hund.
red years-showing that through all changes
Of the medical profession and its practitioners,
strength, compOsure and cheerfulnesa have been
derived from these sources. Dr. Woods In the
Washington Hospitals informed me that one
patient was fast sinking and crazy, and had not
slept an hour for two weeks, until the Planta-
tion Bitters came to his knowledge, when one
days trial gave him nights rest, and he was
now fast recovering. i am surprised our Gov.
ernment has not equaled Jefferson Davis in en-
ergy, and adopted this invaluable article In all
our hospitals. The weak aoldiers cling to il
like brother. AS q lay member. I can bear
witness 1t is "good to take" and affords more
energy and life than anything l ever tried
Success to the Plantation Bitters.
But have digressed. In my next shall
speak of gatheringin the wounded, burying the
dead, etc.

blockade, and to convey articles contrsband of
war to the insurgents, have led to many Cap

have been since captured aud reported TO the

bold TO attack him directly upon the topic

SMALL Business see that some ofthe
Convention organs are grumbhng because
the Ledger has received from the Post
Office Department the advertisement for
the letting of the mails. They 1nsInuate
that the Ledger has been bought by this
advertisement. For their information we
would state that we are to receive Just
about enough to run the Ledger machine
for ten days. Had there been q Republican
paper in this city, or even in this District,
we presume it, and not rs, would have
received the advertisement in question. But
we do not suppose that because there is no
Republican paper in this portion Of the
State, that therefore our people should bess
prived of an opportunity of perusing the
proposals for mail lettings. We don't know
but they are about as worthy Of receiving
and carrying mails as though they lived in
