these nightly garrotings and robberes seldom reach

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The New York Tribune says, Hthe reason why
brakes Plantation Bitters are SO universally used
and have such an immense sale, is that they ate
always made up to the original standard, Of
highly invigorating 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 made Of pure
material but the people are told what it Is. The
Recipe il published around each bottle, and the
bottles are not reduced In size. At least twenty
limitations and counterieits have sprung up
They impose upon the people once and that's the
last of item.
The Plantation Bitters are now used 10 all
the Government Hospitals are recommended by
the best physicians, and are warranted to pro-
duce an immediate beneficial effect. Facts are
