The New York Tribune says, "tte reason why
brakes Plantation Bitters are 80 universally used
and have such on immense sale, ia that they are
always made up to the original standard Of
highly nyigoratlng material and OF pure quality.
although the prices have so largely advanced"
etc.
The Tribune just hits the nail On the head
The Plantation Bitters are not only ade of pure
material, but the people are told what ii is. The
Recipe is published around each bottle, and the
bottles are not reduced in size. At least twenty
limitations and counterfeits have sprung up
They impose upon the people once and that's the
last of item.
The Plantation Bit.ers are now used in all
the Government Hospitals, are recommended by
the best physicians, and are warranted to pro.
duce an immediate beneficial effect. Facts are
stubborn things.

hope the suggestion will be sufficient to induce
the authorities to pitch its new ate elsewhere.
