The following interesting letter was received
from the well-known and highly respectable
lady and nurse of New York city, Miss soPHRo-
MA BowEns, who has been acting In that ca
paclty for over thirty years. Her long eIpe-
riSnce should eptitls her letter to consideration
from every mother and every female contem-
plating marriage. Mrs. BowERs is well known
to many of the oldest, weSlthlest and most re.
spscta6ls families IN NsD York, and evidence

FIFTH AVENUE HOTRL,
NEW YoRK, February 90, 1868.
DR.. DRAKR-DeSr Sir; Your truly delicious
and valuable Plantation Bittors were first
brought to my notice by an old negro woman,
(cook in the house where was nursing at the
tlmS,) who had escaped from one Of the large
plantations Of tho South during the present un-
happy war, and who, In her own peculiar way,
told such wonderful stories Of their strengthen
ing powers; how her old "missus" used them,
&C., that was induced TO give them trial,
and l must say, with the must gratifying re-
sults. .. .rr -.
For the last twelyemonth have nirrsed no
less than nine ladies through confinement (two
OF them having twins.) In every case have
used your Bldders, and they have not failed, In
single instance, to produce the desired effect
They seem to strengthen and build up the most
delicate constitutions as II by magic, give tone to
the stomach, and create a healthy and moder-
ate appetite, which is so important for the
early recovery Of the mother, as well as the
health and strength Of the RuLe stranger They
stimulate not too much or too little. The
abundance Of anise which seems to enter Into
their composition ls sure to strengthen the
muscles, and to give an early and sufficient doiU
Of milk to the mother, which effectually pre-
vents ague In the breast. They are prevent

ach, and In every respect are a superior tonic
OF real worth and merit, and one that no lady
should be without, especially those about to
become mothers. am now attending a lady at
this hotel who has been confined as yet but
three days, still, under the soothing effects of
the Plantation Bltters, she is fast recovering;
heretofore she has been obliged to keep her
bed for weeks. Herself and husband bid me
say that they shall take every possible occasion
to recommend your Bitters.
have oflGn used CalIsaya bark and wine
with some little satisfaction; but your Combl
nation Of Oallsaya bark, st. Croix rum, laven-
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 the capacity Of nurse for thirty years,
and have attended hundreds of ladies, many OF
them Of the very first families of this city, hut
during all my experience have never boen so
fayorably impressed with the really good quail
ties Of any medicine as have been with your
Bitters; and without hesitation | cheerfully
recommend them to all families. You arc at
liberty to make snch use Of this letter rs you
may think ht.
Truly yours,
sOPHRoNTA BowERs,
Nurse.
