The Charleston Courier makes = timely sus-
gestion in recommending the attention OF our
government to The naturalization and cultivation
of Calisaya for the preservation of the health OF
our soldiers. This article has peculiar effect
upon the liver and guards the system against
disease by exposure and irregular diet. 1t Is

Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previous to our un-
happy difficulties was found in most Southern
homes, was owing to the extract of Calisaya
of Calisaya Bark which it contained As one OF
its principal ingredients.-"In confirmation OF
this we have heard one Of cur most distinguish
ed physicians remark, that whenever he felt
unwell from ordinary dietetic or atmospheric
causes, he invariably relieved himself by Pianta-
ton Bitters. Now that these Bitters cannot be
obtained, . substitute should be prepared--We
understand our government has opened negota-
tions with DR.. Drake, through secret agent,
but with what truth we do not know

Wing for its Remembrance of'Auld Lang Syne,'

Plantation Bitters are not for sale to any "secret
agents." North or South. There is probably
