VAN BuREN, Ark, April 10, 1873.
DR. BnhGG-- Dear Sir During the past
summer and fall, the various forms of bill
fous Fever were very prevalent and niten
fatal in this section Of country. Our
thy none-such physicians, pulled up with
| pride and vain conceit, persisted in their
autiqpated 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 bad done In one fam.
! ily, four cases resulted in death, in the
short space Of four days; in some cases
| three or four days alter the exhibition Of
! calomel, great prostration, tympanitic con-
! dition of the abdomen, and perforation Of
| the bowels were the result Of this heroic
| Treatment, and 10 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
ut all, but continue to visit their patients,
and order AaXSeed tea as drink, and a
poultice of the same applied to the bowels :
when this failed, with sage look, and little
faith, & hearts full of apprehension, they
would confess TO their friends their full con.
fidence i'll the application of blisters from
head TO foot--you may guess the result
this dilemma and universal consterna-
ton, one of your travelling agents passed
through our neighborhood, and made lib
craldeposites of your vegetable medicines,
and distributed pamphlets, and the E'Sun,"
to she'd 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-rcstoring 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 Idle. 1 nave WdlCHtN lnClf 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 few days,
in erery 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 preiudices and preconceived
theories, have cheerfully abandoned their
calonel and lancet. and recommended
your pills in all cases of bilious. intermit
tent, remittent, congestve 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 foragain, as many of your a.
gents are out of pills, and the sickly sea-
son is approaching.
With best wishes for your success,
lam truly yours,
