The language of nature and experience
demonstrates, that whoever would enjoy the
pleasures Of food-the beauties Of landscapes
the joys Of cOmpanionship-the richness Of
hterature-or the honors Of station and re-
nown-H''lst prsserDe their heath.
The stomach is the reeeptieaI Of all nour-
ishment, and the fountain from which all
parts of the body derive sustenanco. The
effect Of Offoulinjurious food entering the stom-
ach, is to derange the digestive organs and
produce headache, loss ofapPetite, inrejreshed
sleep, footed breath, lo,g spirits, jsDerish burn
ing, constipation, ineapaeity to perform any men
talor physical duty, &C., and are the symptoms
of that horrid disease
DYSPEPSIA,
Which assumes thousand shapes. and points
towards miserable life and premature decay.
The Medical Faculty has labOred for gener-
atiOns to discover reliable nppetizers and the
proper means of overcoming stomach de-
rangements. Certain ingredients have been
long known as partially effective. Among
these were
CALIsATA BARK AND ST. cRox RUx.

tropical island of St. CrOix, observing the
habits of the natives, gathered the recipe for

Intelligent persons and physicians can
judge Of the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters
from the following partial formula.
CAscARILLA BARK
Was known and used in Germany for Dyspep-
sia, Chronic Diarrhaa, Cbolic, Dysentery,
and diseases of the Stomach and Bowels, as
early as 1890.
DANDELION,
for Inaammations Of the Loins and Spleen, in
DrOpsieal Affections and Biliary sesrotions,
or DISTINCTIONS of the Abdominal Viscera.
oALsAYA, OR KIEG's BARK,
Was unknown to civilization until the middle
of the 18th century. Humboldt makes ia
vorablo mention Of the febrifuge qualities of
this article as an Antidote to Fever and
Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers,
in his extensive South American travels
The Countess, wife Of the Vieeroy Of Peru,
having e4PvlIelrUva tile beuvnviai ulrsets of
this Bark, sent it to Europe in 1870. 1t was
sold by the Jesuits for the enormous sum Of It's
o,on 'oeight n silDer, and was thus called JEs-
UITs' POWDER. In 1858 Sir John Talbot en-
ployed it with great success in France, in the
treatment of Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia,
Nervous Affections, Loss Of Appetite, Weak
ness and Debility, Palpitation Of the Heart,
Diarrhea, &C., under the name Of English
Powders; and in 1879, he sold the secret of
its origin to Louis XIV, by whom it was di-
vulged. 1t is now standard remedy in all
PharmacOpOeia, and is employed in preparing
the Plantation Bitters.

tism, and Nefratic Affections; Lauende,.

Another ingredient of remarkable and won
derful virtue used in the preparation Of these
Bitters, is a native Of Brazil, and as yet un-
known to the commerce Of the world. A
| Spanish writer says:
" administered with St. CrOix
Rum, never fails to relieve nervous tremor,
wakefulness, disturbed sleep, &c, and that
| it is used with great effect by the Brazilians,
/ Spanish and Peruvian ladies to heighten their
color and beauty. 1t imparts eheerfulness to
the disposition, vigor to the appetite, and
brilIiancy to the complexion"
We Withhold its name from the public for
the present.
To the above are added the Glove Buds,
Orange, Carraway, Coriander, Snake Root,
&C., all preserved in perfectly pure

its powerful invigOrating effect, have been
long known to the physicians of the world.
