vored the amnesty, he doubted the
right Of the President togrant it in
this sweeping way, and he wished
to have tho question settled. 3

called to the question. He thought
it important that the people Of the
United States should know wheth.

pensing power as was implied in

He believed the assumption by the
Executive Of such power was on

| "Wherais Drake S. T. 1860 X?"
We have heard this question asked
many times, .apd for all We knew
torn year past be might be dead.
Recently, in Nov York, we called
at Bis Laboratory II Liberty ST.
and there found this gentleman
barricaded behind q tremendous
pile Of boxes, distributing funds to
a Sunday School Committee. Our
business was to secure an advertise
ment. he said: any dear sir,
what is.the use of advertising the
Plantation Bitters? They soil bot
Ier now than when | advertised at
such enormous expense, and now
have not mado u contract for u
year. / have all this amount TO
give to the poor. TO satisfy the
Press, however, who have always
been my friends, I think / will give
you little something to do again,
for | have improved the Bitters
greatly, and it may be woll to have
you let the people know it," And
so he ran on in a happy, cordial,
appreciative manner, showing us
the wonders of his place and the
cords Of certificates. Everything
is on q magnificent scale. and is
done with neatness and prompt.
ness. While there we saw at least
forty orders como in for these cele-
brated Bitters. Cases were being
shipped to the four corners of the
world. Drake is not dead, nor his
Bitters either ETchange paper.
