VAN BUREN, Ark, April Is, 1913.
DR. BRAGG Dcdr Sir: Daring the past
summer and fall the various forms of bill
ious Fever were very prevalent and often
fatal in this section of country. Our wor-
thy none-such physicians, pua'ed up with
pride and vain conceit, persisted in their
a+;tiquatGd practice with that universal
panacea, calomel, with such unbounded
success, that 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 fam
lily, four cases resulted in death, in the
short space of four days; in some cases
three or four days after the exhibition of
calomcl. great prostration. .tympanitc con-
dition of the abdomen, and perloration Of
the bowels We're the result of this heroic
treatment, and to prove it so to their weep
ing friends, post mortem examination
would reveal the fact. After finding their
practice altogether Intellectual, they came
to the wise conclusion to give no medicine
at all, but continue to visit their patients,
and order faXSeed tea as a drink. and
poultice Of the same applied TO the bowels
when this failed, with sage look, and little
faith, & hearts fall of apprehension, they
would confess to their friends their full con-
tidence in the application of blisterS from
head TO lo0ty may guess the result.
In this dilemma and universal consterna-
ton, one of your travelling agents passed
through our neighborhood, and made lib
eraldepositcs of your vegetable medicines,
and distributed pamphlets, and the "Sun,''
to shed a genial and benignart light upon
this benighted, and apparently devo-
ted land. The mama sent to the Chill
dren of Israel, in the wilderness, was not
hailed with more hearty thanks than were
your health-restoring Pills in this awful
crisis. The people were prepared to re-
ceive them, or any thing that promised
them relief from their apparently impend-
ing fate. have watched their progress,
and the effects they produced in hundreds
of cases and am happy to give my feeble
testimony to their entire and triumphant
efficacy, in restoring health in few days,
M every instance, when they have been
taken in time, and in strict accordance TO
directions. Some Of our physicians,
whose love of truth and philanthropy tri-
umphed over prejudices and preconceived
theories, have cheerfully abandoned their
calomel and lancet, and recommended
your pills in all cases of bilious, intennit
tent, remittent, congestive and typhuS fe- I
verS; and they freely acknowledge that
they are almost specific in all these dis
eases. Your travelling agent is anxious
ly looked for again, as many Of your a
gents are out of pills, and the sickly sea-
son is approaching.
With best wishes for your success,
| am truly yours,
