| DE-. BRAGG--Dcds Sir: During the past
summer and fall, the various forms of bill
ious Fever were very prevalent aud often
fatal in this section Of country. Our wor-
| thy none.such physicians, puffed up with
pride and Fain eOnceit, persisted in their
antiquated practice with that universal
panacea, calomel, with such tunbounded
| success, that one or, two, panic struck,
scainpered Off and left their patients with
nature and her Intellectual efforts to repair
che mischief they had done. In one fam.
lily, fourY cases resulted in death, in the
short space of four days in some cases,
three or four days after the exhibition of
calomel. .grea prostration, tympanitic con-
dition of the abdomen, and peHeration of
the bowels were the result of this, heroic
treatment, and to prove,it so to theirSveep-
ing friends, a post mortem examination
would revealthe 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 haXSeed tea as a drink. and a
poultice Of The same applied to the bowels
when this failed, with sage look, and little
faith, t. hearts full of apprehension, they
would confess to their friends their full con,
fidence in the application of blsters from
head toi foot-7you may gless<the result.
In this dilemma and universal consterna-
tion, one of your travelling agents passed
through our neighborhood, and made lib
ldeposites ofyourvegetable medicines,
and distributed pamphlets, and the "Sun,"
to shed genial and benignatt;li 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 impend4
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,
in 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. intemit
tent, remittent, coDgestive 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-
son is approaching. n
With best wishes for your success,
! am truly yours
