nR. BRAGG-Dear .Sir:--Durug the
- past summer and fall, the various forms Of
Bilious Fever were very prevalent, and often Ia
tai in this section of country. Our worthy non.
such physicians, pulled up with pride and vain
conceii, persisted in their antquatcd practice
with that universal panncea, calomel, with such
unboundcd success, tina, one or two panic struck,
scampered off and left their patients with nature
and her Intellectual efforts to repair the mischief
they had done. In one family, four cases re-
suited IN death, in the short space Of four DAYS;
IN some cases three ar four DAYS after the cxhlhi-
ton OF caomel, great prosration, tympanitc
condition Of the abdomen, and perforation Of the
bowels were the result OF this heroic ireatmcn ,
and to prove il so to their weeping friends. post
moricm examination would reveal the fact. AZ
ter finding their practice altogether Intellectual.
they came To the wise conclusion to give no ~ ed
lcine nj oil, but continue To visit their PATIENTS
and order fns seed tea as a drink, and poniice
OF the same applied 20 tho bowels; when this
ialled, with a sage look, and little faith, and
hearts full Of apprehension, they would confess
to their friends their full confidence in the mp
plication OF bls,ers from head TO foo,-you may
guess the result.

love OF truth and philanthropy triumphed over
their preJudices and prcconccived theories, have
chccrfully abandoned their cnlomel and lancet,
and recommend your Pills in all cnses Of bilious
intermittent, remittent, congestivc and wphus
fevers; and they freely acknowledge that they
are almost specific in all these diseases. Your
travelling agent 10 anxiously looked for again,
as many Of your agents ara out Of Pills, and the
