TFrom the Richmond Whig


The Charleston Courier makes timely su9-
eStion in recommending the attention of our
government to the naturalization and cultiva-
ton of Calisaya, for the preservation of the
health of our soldiers. This article has pc
culiar effect upon the liver, and guards the
system against disease by exposure and irreg-
ular diet. 1t is said that the great success of
the Plantation Bitters of DR.. Drake, which pre-
vious to our unhappy difficulties was found in
most Southern homes, was owing to the ex-
tract of Calisaya bark which it contained as
one Of its principle gredents.-'ln coniirma-'
ton of this, we have heard one Of our most
distinguished physicians remark, that when
ever he felt unwell from ordinary dietetic or
atmospheric causes, he invariably relieved
himself by Plantation Bttcrs. Now that these
citters cannot be obtained, substitute should
be prepared We understand our government
has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake,
through a secret agent, but with what truth
we do not know
We are exceedingly obliged TO the Richmond
Wig for its remembrance of'A uld Lang Syne'
but we can assure "Our government" that the
Plantation Bilters are not for sale to any Sc
cret agents. North or South. There is proba-
bly, several other things that'Our Government
will yet want.

popular medicine in the world. We are no.
afraid 10 show what it is composed of.
