•.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 bo made, and an agent
was dispatched to St. Thomas for that purpose. Ho was fortunate in securing and
leasing several plantations on some of tho largest and most productive estates on the
island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly n aston
ished the natives." The services of experienced mon and natives of tht island were pro
cured, and very soon tho proprietors of the PLANTATION BITTERS were in a position
to supply their laboftitory with all the perfectly pure St. Croix Rum needed in manufac
turing the GREAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVIGORATOR. The above cut represents
the natives crushing the sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the stills and presses.
iSjAa 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 of the world. Over five million bottles 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.
