portunitiss for thoroughly testing tbem in every

their praise. For durability, strength, standing in

NEW YORK. July LIST. 1868.

.r New YORK, July 1st, 1868.
DEAR SIR:-In your paper of last week
you, or one of your correspondents, say
that DIR. Drake is not the originator of the
celebrated PLANTATION B1rTERs, and that
they were manufactured and sold by one
Pedro Martelle, an old Spaniard, in the Is
land of St. Thomas, over forty years ago,
as every old sea captain can testify. Now,
sir, can certify to the above as being true,
for have followed the sea for over forty
years, most of the time doing business with
the West Indies. These same Bitters, diff
ferently put up and named, were brought
to my notice on my first trip to the Island
of St. CroiX for cargo of rum, and for
years and years after, my ships stores were
never without them. Railways supplied my
family and many of my neighbors with
them, and can truly say better Bitters
and Tonic is not made in all the world.
Yours truly,
CAPT. HENRY VENT.
MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the best
imported German Cologne, and sold at half
the price.
