The ludy who argued a case in the House of Lords talked fourteen dniys, and was then taken with hysteria. The dead and wounded among her hearers is uptgiveu.

Carefully and accurately compounded at all hours, day or night. Bainbridge, Ga., Feb. 20th, IB6o*. Many years ago, the writer of these lines and ap, invalid physician, while visiting the Island of St. Croix for their health, experienced and witnessed many surprising and beneficial effects of the Rum there produced upon many of the invalids who were (like ourselves) seeking health; and, upon inquiry and investigation, obtained a full history Os its medicinal virtues He was delighted and surprised, and after his own recovery, ifrhich soon occurred, determined, if possible, to procure the sole right to manufacture . jand sell it in the United States, • . The result of his labors was a glorious success for Jiimself and suffering humanity, tut the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS was thus made known to the world. PLAN* TAITON BITTERS being an article of real merit, founded upon new principles, relying wholly upon the vegetable world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapid revolu tion in the history of medicine, and became as a household word all over the civilized .* world. The cabalistic S. f.—lß6o—Z. was a talisman of health, and the demand for the PLANTATION BITTERS soon far exceeded the abilities of the proprietors to supply. ■Notwithstanding the large importation of'St. Croix Rum, made expressly for the com pounding of these Bitters, the .quantity was inadequate. It therefore became necessary that arrangements upon an extensive scale abroad should at once he made, and an agent was dispatched to St. Thomas for that purpose. He was fortunate in securing and leasing several plantations on some of the largest and most productive estates on the island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly “ aston ished the natives.” The services of experienced men and natives of the island were pro cured, and very soon the proprietors of the PLANTATION BITTERS were in a position to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St. Croix Rum needed in manufac-. , turing the GREAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVISORATOR. The above cut represents the natives crushing the sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the stills and presses; As an antidote to Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers, Dyspepsia, and other kindred diseases, the use of the PLANTATION BITTERS is unsurpassed in the history ts the world. Over five million bottlf a are disposed of annually. They are adapted to old and young, male and female. They are agreeable in taste, and always produce an immediate beneficial result.
