The result of his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffering humanity,
for the celebrated PLANTATION BITTEBS was th<s made known to the world. PLAN
TATION BITTEBS being an article of real merit, founded upon new principles, and
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. T.—lß6o—X. was a talisman of health, and the demand for
the PLANTATION BITTEBS soon far exceeded the abilities of the proprietors to supply.
Notwithstanding the large importation of St Croix Bum, 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 be 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
cued, and very soon the proprietors of the PLANTATION BITTEBS were in a position
to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St Croix Bum needed in manufac
turing the GBEAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVIGOBATOB. The above cut represents
the natives crushing the sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the stills and presses.
