DR. Brace Dear Sir: During the past
summer and fall, the various forms of bill
ious Fever were very prevalent and often
fatal in this section Of country. Ourwor-
thy none-such physicians, pufTed up with
pride and vain conceit, persisted in their
antiquated 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
caiomel, gre al prostration. tympanitic con-
dition of the abdomen, and perfnration Of
the bowels were the result of this heroic
| treatment, and 10 prove il so to theirweep-
ing friends, a post mortPm examination
would reveal the fact. After finding their
practice altogether Intellectual, they came
TO the wise conclusion to give no m edicine
at all, but continue to visit their patients,
and order fiaXseed tea as drink, and
poultice of the same applied to the bowels !;
when this failed, with sage look, and little
faith, Il hearts full of apprehension, they
would confess TO their friends their full con
iidence in the application of blisterS from
head to ioot--you may guess the result.
lnthiS dilemma and universal constcrna.
ton, one of your travelling agents passed
through our neighborhood, and made lib
eral depoSites ofyour vegetable medicines,
and distributed pamphlets, and the "Sun,"
to shed genial and bengnart light upon
this benghted, 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 mpend-
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 aud triumphant
efficacy, in restoring health in a few dayS,
IN ecery 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 prejuaices and preconceived
theories, have cheerfully abandoned their
calomel and lancet, and recommended
your pills in all cases of bilious intermit
tent, reinittent, congestive and typhus fe-
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-
SOP is approaching.
With best wishes for your success,
lam truly yours,
