appetite, distress after eating torpid liver con-
stipation, &C., deserve to suffer if they will not
try the celebrated
PLANTATION BiTTERs,
which are now recommended by the highest medi.
cal authorities. and warranted to produce an i'm
naedian beneficial effect. They are exceedingly
agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all
other tonics where healthy, gentle stimulant is
required
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create healthy appetite.
They are an antidots to a change of water and
diet.
They overcome effects of dissipation and late
hours.
They strengthen the system and enliven the
mind.
They prevent m iasmatic and intermittent fevers
stomach.
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera
Morbus.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head
ache.
They make the weak strong, the languid bril-
liant, and are exhausted natures great restorer.
They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya
bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all
preserved in perfectly pure st. Croix rum. For
particulars see circulars and testimonials around
each bottle.
Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle,
Bee that it has D. 8. Barnes signature our pri
scene, and our firm signature on a fine steel plate
ngraving on side label See that our bottle is not
refilled with spurious and deeterous stuff We defy
any person to match the taste or character of eur
goods. Any person pretending to sell Plantation
Bitters by the gallon or in bulk, is an impostsrs
We sell only in our log cabin bottle. Any person
therein whether called Plantation Bitters or not.
is criminal under the o. 8. Law, and will be so
prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on two
parties rehlling our bottles, &C., who will succeed
in getting themselves into close quarters. The
demand for brakes Plantation Bitters from ladies'
clereymen. merchants. &C., is perfectly incredible
The simple trial of bottle is the evidence We pre-
sent of their worth and superiority. They are sold
by all respectable druggists, grocers. physicians,
hotels, saloons, steamboats, and country stores.
