The arrangement of our corps—the evericoking position of the commanding General—the send- ing into action the right and the left—the closing up of the center, and final success—excites bewildering admiration, and carries the mind to the great fields of Austerlits and Wagaam, fought by Napoleon. Of all this I have spoken. ‘The heart history of such a conflict, purchased by the life and blood of twenty thousand men, | must be found in the hospitals. War has its glories—but it has its ten thousand demons in these hnman torjures, that make the eye-balls | ache—the heart bleed—the lips palsy, and the brain ree}. The sight is at first positively unen- durable. The life blood of some is still trick- ling, away in silent calmness—while the dis- severed limbs and maniac,brain of others give rise to sounds God grant I may not again wit- ness, But ye mothers who now seek a son—or wifg ahnushand—or sister a brother—orsons afather— know and be consoled that evem the hand of mercy is watchful, and better care is hestowed upon your loved one than might at first seem possible, It was in the hospital where rested | the gallant Hooker, that I learued the history | of those mythical words so often seen and so little understood, “S. T.—186u—X.” Anything alleviating the sufferings and saving the lives | of our soldiers is a natiénal blessing. I wit- | messed some astonishing results from this article It is well known the effect of burnt gunpow- der and excitement is thirst, which, added to the loss of blood in the wounded, creates the necessity of a reviving stimulant. In this par- ticular hospital, the physicians were allowing their patients to driuk Plantation Bitters, other- wise called S. T—1i560—X, and although the wounded are most nymerous here—this division having opened the fight at 5 in the morning— the men were mostly composed, and there was but very little fainting. The article acts npon the stomach and neryes in a most incompre- hensible manner, superior to brandy, and ent subsequent stupifying reaction. It orig’ ated in the West Indies, contining calisaye bark, winter green, lavender, anise, clove buds orange, snake root, &c.. preserved in St. Croix Rum—the 8. T.—1560—X being a secret dient, not yet revealed to the public. recently applied to the propri privilege to make it for hosp during the war, lowing reply: New Yons.

We remain, very respectfully yours, P. ti. Da ake & Co. ‘These gentlemen give the history of certain megredients of their article for over two hun- dred years—showing that throngh all changes of the medical profession and its practitioners, strength, composure and cheerfulness haye been derived from these sources. Dr. Woods, in the Washington hospitals, informed me that hehad been unable to procure an hour's sleep in one patient for nearly two weeks, and he was fast sinkin< and crazy, until the Plantation B: came tohis knowledge, when one day’s trial gave him anight’s rest, and he was now fast recovering. I am surprised our Government has not equalled Jetterson Davis in energy. and adopted this invaluable article in all our hos- pitals. Asa lay member, I can bear witness it is “good to take,” and affords more enerzy and life than anything I ever tried. Success wo the Plantation Bitters. But I have digressed.
