The New York Tribune says, "the reason why
brakes Plantation Bitters are so universally used
and have such an immense sale, is that they are
alw Us made up to the original standard, OF
highly inyigOrating material and of pare quality
Though the prices have so largely advanced"
etc.
The Tribune juit hits the nail on the head
The Plantation B.tters are not only ade Of pure
ma erial, but the people are told what 1t is. The
Recipe ia publ she around each bottle an ! he
bottles are not reduced in size. At least twenty
limitations and coun:erfet' have sprung up
They impose upoh the people once and that's the
