The Charleston Courier makes q timely sug-
gestion in recommending the attention of our
government to the naturalization and cultiva-
tion Of Calisaya for the preservation Of the
health of our soldiers. This article has pecu-
liar effect upon the liver, and guards the sys-
tenn again st disease by exposure and irregular
diet 1t is said that the grea. success of the
Plantation Bitters of DR.. Drake, which, previ-
ous to our unhappy difficulties was found in
most Southern homes, was owing to theextract
of Calisaya Bark which it contained as one Of
its principal lingredients.-"In In confirmation Of
this, we have heard one of our most distin-
guished physicians remark, that whenever he
felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmos-
by Plantation Bitters. Now that these Bit.ers
cannot be obtained, substitute should be pre-.
pared. We understand our government has
opened negotiations with DIR. Drake, through q
secret agent, but with what truth we do not
know"
