nom the well-known and, highly rcspoctabl,
lady and nurse of New York city, Miss soPnRo.

pacity for over thirty years. Her long e1pe.
risncc should cntltle her letter to consideration
from every mother and every female contcm.

FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,
New YoRK, February 29, 1858.
DR.. DRAKE-Dear sri Your truly delicious
and valuable Plantation Bittcrs were first
brought to my notice by an old negro woman,
(cook In the house where was nursing at the
time,) who had escaped from one Of the large
plantations Of the South during the present un-
happy war, and who, in her own peculiar way.
told such wonderful stories Of their strenRthen-
ing powers; how her old "missus" used them.
&C., that was induced to give them trial,
and must say, with the must gratifying re-
suits.
For tho last twolyGmonth have nuras,i no
loss than nine ladies through confinement 1.-TWO
VI theh haVlhB twlns.) In every case I have
used your Bidders, and they have not failed, in
single instance, to produce tho desired effect.
They seem to strengthen and build up the most
delicate constitutions as If by magic, give tone to
tho stomach, and create healthy and moder.
ate appetite, which is so important for tho
early recovery of the mother, as well as tho
health and strength Of the Httle stran0er. They
stimulate not too much or too little Tn.
abundance of anise which seems to enter into
their composition is suro TO streup4bep tho
muscles, and to give an carly and sufficient ao,s
~ mug TO the mother, which effectually pre-
vents ague In the breast. They arc a prevent
I've oil td'gour, dizziness and nausea of tho stom.
aeh, and In every respect are a superior tonic
OF real worth and merit, and one that no ihdv
should bo without, especially those about to
become mothers. / am now attending Iadv at
TINS hotel who has been confined as yet but
hres days, still, under the soothing effects Of
the Plantation Bitters, she is fast recovering,
heretofore she has been Obliged TO koep her
bed for weeks. Herself and husband bid mo
say that they shall take every possible occasion
to recommend your Bitters.
have often used Calisaya bark and yvine
with some little satisfaction; but your comb |
nation of Calisaya bark, st. Croix rum, Iayep. |
der flowers, and other Ingredients, never fail
to produce full and the most satisfactory re-.
suits.
In conclusion, allow me to say that have
acted In tho capacity Of nurse for thirty wears.
and have attended hundreds of ladies. many Of
them of the very first families Of this city, but
during all my experience have never been so
favorably impressed with the really good quail.
tics Of any medicine as have been with your
Bittersi and without hesitation I choerfuIlv
recommend them to all families. You are At
liberty to make such use Of this letter as Won
may think ft.
Truly yours,
rr.... SoPHRosn Bowers,
Nurse.
P. s.-Do tell me what tho s. T. 1860. X
means Mrs. B. wants to know as well as
myself.
N B.-I am going to Philadelphia in a fow
days to nurse lady. Can the Bltters be got
there
