plantation Bitters.

AhulAllOn oAtbCAos
We remember many cure-alls, which for season did
run well and, after brief day OF glory, passed away.
Such were Houcks Panaeea, Wistar's BasAm OF "ild
Cherry Brandreths Pills, TOwnsend's sarsaparlla ana
Udolpho Wolfe's Aromatic Schedam schnapps ALI
these have Knocked under to the latest nosTum, Pana
ton Biters the marvellous virtues OF which are set
forth in an advertisement which We fnd in Yankee
rapsr. and from which we make the following ex-
tracts
"Frou the army hospiial--the bloody battlefield
the mansion OF the rich aud humble abode oil the poor
from the office and the sacred desk-trom the noun
tain top, distant valleys, and iar-oh ISLANDS OF tns

worlds pouring in the evidence OF the astonishing
effects of brakes Plantation Buffers. Thousands upon
thousands of letters like the following may be seen at
our Office.

These testimonials prove beyond the reach OF perad-
venture that the Plantation Bltters are incomparaoly
superior to aay med cine of modern times Some assert
that they arc nothing more than whisky cocktail DOT
tied but Quakeresses and preachers do not Fatronze
vulgsr stimuants; when they want something strong
they take Holland Gin. Sill, the Plantation Bitters'

guests at Wizards the less powerful, because
they are composed of cold cocktails corked They DID

tbey have the most astonishing effect upon disabled
soldiers almost as astonishing as unboned cocktail mas
upon soldiers who e not disabled. The Plantation Cold

We are glad to hear that the Confederate Govern
men: has interes ed itself this great medicine Some
mportant alterations have been made in its component
parts SO as to adapt the purposes for which 1t will
be used in the Confedsracy. Many thousand bottles
have been distributed among the impressng agents,
who are or dered to adm mister It freely TO all planters
farmers and producers Of whatever name. Its effects
ara astonishing IL acts not like the compound extract
of colocynth, gamboge and croton oil but more like
onum acetate of lead tonic acid and other patent as
tringents aud styptcs. After one full dose, nothing
ever comes from the patient; the aEmentary canals OF
the countrythe railroads and canals-e1hibit total
cessation of the peristaltic movement, and the city
markets become hOpeessy cOnsipated. The result is
General distress sgltaoO tWitchngs of the nerves, fits
enepc colfulsions foamng at the mouth, and finally
frenzy The taste Of Confederate Plantation Btters 10
like nutealIs and stryohnne combined its tonic prop
erlies are exhibed in the present surprising scceera
ton of the circulation and the persistent forcing OF it
down the throas of the Counry people will make them
aad everybody else speechless and nearly dead in
less than fourteen months Nevertheless it is the fixed
Duroose of the manufacturer to- cram it dom, come
what wilgenera starvation, death, any other man
or creature.
