DR.. BRAeG-- Dear $it: During the past
summer and fall, the various forms Of bill
ious Fever were very prevalent and oftea
fatal in this section Of country. Our t3or-
thy none-slich physicians, puffed up with
pride and vain conceit, persisted in their
antiquated practice with that Universal
panacea, calomel, with such unboundGd
success, that one or two, paic-strGck;
scampered off and left their patients with
iiature and her Intellectual efforts to repair
the mischief they had done. In oH6 fam:
lily, four cases resulted in death, III fhs
short space of four days; in some cates
three or four days after the exhibition Of
calomei, great prostration, ~ ympanitic con;
dition of the abdomen, and perforation of
the bowels were the result of this heroiS
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 ia. give no medicine
| at all, but continue to visit their patients,
| and order flaxseed tea as a drink, and .
poultice of the same applied to othe bowels;
| when this failed, with sage look, and little
faith, 4 hearts full Of apprehension, they
would confess to their friends theif full con.
| fidence in the application Of blistefs from
head TO foot-you may guess the result.
In this dilemma and universal constefns.
ton, one Of your travelling agents passed
throtigh cur neiShborhood, and made lib
eraldeposites of your vegetable medicines,
and distributed pamphlets, and the "Stin,"
TO shed genial and benignart light upon
this benighted, and apparently devo-
ted land. The mama sent to the Chill
6ren Of Israel, in the wilderness, was noI
hailed with more hearty thanks than were
totir hesith.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 progressy
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.
in epery instance, when they have been
taken in time, and in strict accordance to
directions. Some of OUT, physiciansI
whose love of truth and philanthropy IN;
umphed over prejudices and preconceived
theories, have cheerfully abandoned their
calomel and lancet, and recommended
your pills in all cases Of bilious, internit
tent, remittent, congestive and typhus fe'
vers; and they freely acknowledge that
| they are almost specific in all these dis-
cases. 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. H

lam truly yours,
