PROGRESS OF THE REvoLUTIoN.-A new light
dawned upon the world with the introduction Of
PLANTATION BITTERS twelve years ago. Drastic
purGation went out-restoration and renovation
came in. The eyes Of the people were opened to the
great fact that the way to cure disease Is TO
strengthen and support its victims; not to place
them at It's mercy by deprlv1ng them OF the little
strength they have. 1t became evident that as
means OF infusing vitality Into the feeble system
regulating the secreHons, curing indigestion, and re-
forming bilious habit OF body, no medicinal prepa-
ration then known was at all comparable to the new
restorative. Since then hundreds Of attempts have
been made to rival the Bitters They have all failed,
| and the GRAND REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL TREAT
MENT, which was commenced in 1860, Is still In pro-
eress Nothing can stop it, for 1t Is founded on the
principle, now universally acknowledged, that ply
sical vigor Is the most formidable antagonist OF all
human ailments, and experience has shown that
| PLANTATION BITTERS Is a peerless invigorant, as
well as the best possible safeguard against epidemic
diseases
