Engraved by Balthasar Ruyter, this is an extremely rare and highly unusual 1747 map of Mexico, the Caribbean, the West Indies and Florida. Covers from roughly Michoacán Mexico, west to Surinam, north as far as modern day Virginia and south as far as modern day Ecuador. The cartography exhibited here almost certainly references the important 1698 map of North America attributed to Friar Hennepin. The mouth and course of the Mississippi River are displaced far to the west of their actual location and are shown roughly where Galveston Harbor and Sabine Lake are now. Roughly where the actual mouth of the Mississippi is located, this map suggests a large bay which it calls “Baye de Spirito Sancto”. Florida is misshapen with no trace of the Keys. Further south, the West Indies are fairly well mapped suggesting a relative accurate picture of the islands. Following the lead of Bleau and Hondius, the mainland of Mexico and Central America is wildly exaggerated along the horizontal. Yucatan is also extremely misshapen. In the north, the lake of Apalache, which first appeared in Jacque Le Moyne’s early 17th century map of Florida, is shown as the source of the St. John’s River. In today’s Texas, this map notes several mines and Indian villages including a stylized typee. Expanding upon Hennapin’s work, Ruyter includes a number of bays in southwestern Florida and adds the Negrillos Islands. Ruyter was no doubt inspired by the 1671 work of Arnold Montanus , “The New and Unknown World,” in which eagles and unicorns appear as the indigenous fauna of North America. In the background, the fallen pillars and naval armada most likely refer to the annual arrival in Porto Bello of the Spanish treasure fleet from Europe via the Pillars of Hercules. This map was originally prepared for inclusion as chart no. 21 in Ratelband and Gerrevink’s extremely rare 1847 Dutch hand atlas "Geographisch-Toneel."

More expensive and not as sweet as regular Metamucil, but no aspartame
I switched to the Stevia variant of Metamucil to cut down my daily intake of aspartame sweetener. The taste definitely isn’t as sweet and invariably some might not like that. I thought the same initially, but after a few dosages of the less-sweet Stevia Meta I’m now use to the taste. For me—less aspartame in my diet is more important than having an overly sweet product. The product functions the same way and is very effective in keeping you regular and the additional fiber in your diet is very important. Try it, but keep in mind it may take some time getting use to the less sweet flavor.

Incredible…
This stuff is incredible. I used to take a psyllium supplement semi regularly but would always stop after a week or so of getting tired of it. This stevia version of Metamucil is better than any fiber I’ve ever taken. Tastes great, dissolves immediately, works incredibly well, and doesn’t get old or repetitive like other versions. Flavorful but not overly sweet. It’s amazing what it does to your poops too. Unbelievable.

Not real sweet, but no sugar
I have been taking Metamucil with real sugar regularly for 20+ years. I became concerned about the amount of sugar I was consuming daily and cannot tolerate aspartame. So, I jumped to buy this when I saw Stevia. I quickly noticed that this version is not sweet. It’s sort of bitter. Also, the texture is different due to not having sugar granules mixed in. It also converts to a gel like texture quicker. I later noticed you use less of this product per serving than the one with sugar (read the label!). I have found the best way to take this is to very quickly (seconds) consume the serving after adding water. Don’t wait too long. I down it like taking a shot out of a shot glass followed quickly by a glass of water. After a while, I got used to the flavor. Overall, I am pleased I am consuming much less sugar and really don’t notice the change anymore.

This product is very important to your well being.
The Metamucil is everything I hoped for. If you’re concerned about your sugar intake then I suggest the one with Stevia. Yes the one with natural sugar tastes the best but once you graduate to 3 times a day that’s a lot of sugar. I would follow the directions. Start with once a day then after 3 or 4 days you’ll find twice a day works nice. I’m on my 4th week so a few days ago I started 3 times. I’m very pleased with the way I feel. Think about it, we take care of our cars better than ourselves sometimes. It’s so important to take care of your digestive system. Have a good day. 😁

Great flavor, less calories than real sugar, thickens very quickly.
I usually get the real sugar version of this rather than this one with Stevia. I have it every morning just to supplement my diet with fiber and the version with stevia is only 30 calories vs 80 for the one with real sugar. I mix it with unflavored protein powder in a shaker cup and this one thickens very quickly. So quickly that I add water after every quarter of the container that I drink and re-shake. Otherwise it gets so think it won’t even come out by the time I’m halfway through. Once I figured that out it’s no big deal but makes it so that I won’t take it in the car to drink on the go.
