nR. BRAGG-Dcar Sir:--Duriny the
- past summer and fall, the various forms Of
Bilious Fever were very prevalent, and often fu-
tai IN tins section OF country. Our worthy non-
such physicians, pulled up with pride and vain
conceii, persisted in their antiquatcd practice
with that universal panacen, calomcl, with such
unbounned success, that one or two pan,c-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 or four days after the cxhibi-
ton OF calomel, great prostration, ;ympani,ic
condition OF the abdomen, and pcrioration nj the
bowels were the result OF this heroic treatment,
and TO prove II 60 10 their weeping friends, post
mortem examination would reveal the fact Al.
ter finding their practice altogether Intellectual
they came TO the wise conclusion 10 give no m ed.
iclne at ALI but continue to visit their patients,
and order flax eeed tea a drink, and poultice
OF the came applied 20 the bowels; when this
failed, with a sage look, aud little faith, and
hearts full OF apprehension, they would confess
to their friends their full confidence in the mp.
plica,ion OF his,crs from head TO foo,-you muy
guess the result.
In this dilemma and universal CONSERVATION,
one OF your travelling agents passed through our
neighborhocd and made liberal deposits Of your
vegetable medicines, and distributed pamphlets,
and the SUM to shed genial and bcnignant
high. upon this benighted and apparently devo-
ted land The mamma sent to the Children of Is
rael, IN the wilderness, was no; hailed with more
hearty thanks than were your hcalth-rcstcfiag
Pills IN this awful crisis. The people were pre-
pared to receive them, or any thing that pron,s-
cd them relief from their apparently impending
tate. have watched their progress, and the ci-
iects they produced in hundreds oil cases, and
am happy TO give my feeble testimony to their
entire aud triumphant efficacy, in restoring
health IN lew days, an erery instance, when they
have been taken in time, aud in strict accordance
tothe directions. Some OF our phi ysicians, whose
love OF truth aud philanthropy triumphcd over
their preJudices aud preconceived theories, have
chccrfuliy abandoned their calomel aud lancet,
aud recommend your Pills in all case, OF bilious
inter'nitteri, rcmlttcnt, cougestiye and fyphus
levers: and they freely acknowledge that they
arc almost specific in all these diseases. Your
~,
as many Of your agents ara out of Pills, and the
sickly season is approaching.
With best wishes for your success, nm
Truly yours, b. CUNNINGHAM.
Letters similar to the above and certificates Of
the numerous cases in which these pills have
acted like minlstering angel 10 the suffering in
all the diseases peculiar To this country, are al
most daily received. Were we to publish one.
hall the remarkable cures that these pills said
to have performed, they would not be believed
except by those who have witnessed their happy
effects, in their subduing and controlling infu.
ence over disease. In Aguc and Fever, and all
the different varieties Of Bilious fevers, they act
like charm-res'orng the patient to perfect
health in few days, without dcbili,aiing the
system, as do most preparations for these disea-
SEES. They need but one trial to convince any
one that they are the very best medicines ever
offered to the public, in all the diseases for which
they are recommended.
