Rocky FoRD, ARK, July Both, 1847.
DEAR SIR.-I am physician and hane
always bitterly opposed every medical,
offered to the public under the protection
of secrecy or patent Indeed, have are
ways had a mortal hatred of what ve
termed 'Qnack Medicines,' 'P atent Nos
trums,' &C., and have uniformly discourt
aged their use among my patients and
friends. But one of your agencies found
is way into this place last year, just as
Fever and Ague aud Congestiye Fever
began to spread extensively among the
reople. There being no other Doctor in
the place, could not attend to half the
sick-snd the result was that hundreds
were compelled to make trial of your Pills
both the Anti.billious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure of all cases was 90
astonishing, aud so much extolad by ev-
cry one, tbat wasinduced at last TO make
trial of them in my practice-and the rel
suit has been TO conviDce me, much against
my prejudices, that they possess a SPE-
ClFIO CONTROL over Fever and Ague
aud other Bilious diseases, not known tc
any other medicine belonging to tho ms
terra medica.
So convinced am of their great vir@
tnes, that ! think you ought; in justice to>
suffering humanity, TO make public the
f,N, ,,I sl,,
least, to furnish your pill mass to physics
ians in small jars, to be used in their
practice. Your .4nii. bilious Pills are Ger
tain to lake the place of Galomel, and
Tonic Phs the place of Quinine, very
soon, in the Agues and Fevers of the South
and West. Very respectfully,
r. MCDOWELL, nj. ID.
DR.. BRAGG, ST. Louis.
OF in publicly replying to the above,
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion TO say to
his numerous spondents 10 all the
Southern and Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Queen
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim none
OF that protection supposed to arise from
the hambuggery of PATENT RIGHT,
His 7 ills are not pdtened medicine; he
never asked for patent TO protect their
manufacture or sale. If any one were to
make and sell counterfeit Pill with his
name, the public would not be slow to fnd
out tile imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would at once expose it as
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that it will fall to the
lot Of man, n the next FIVE and twenty
years, to discover medicine of equal OF
y;r b,p br
will be the first to re oice at the ncreas,
ed blessings thus bestow ed upon mankindi
He advocates the glorious advantages and
resnlIs of an untrammelled competition
IN all the concerns Of lfe--in the science
and practice and compounding of modi,
cine, as well as IN commerce and the arts
aud manufactu 1t was on this ac-
count that he did not ask MONOPOLY,
through the boasting protection of Pat:
ent Right 1t is on this account, toos
that he is not constantly clamoring at
the top of this voice as does one alright,
ed sngarecoating gentleman who leans
upon patented protection--) 'CAUTION;,,
BE WAR E;'SLOOK OUT FOR COUN.
TERFEITS;' &c &c.! .,,
The Cure of $4,000 Persons AnnualIy!S l
Of Fever and Ague, is all the protection
DR.. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS OF
/ Counterfeiters. His Pills combine a
concentration of m medicinal extracts here-
tofore unknown to the world. Away,
then, with the bumbuggery of patent
rights'-when the consumption Of these
Pills has already reached
HALF A MILLION BOXES ANIMALS
LY!!! .,.,.
In regard to making public the recipe
from which they are made, DR.. Bragg
conscienciously believes that, instead Of
subserving the cause of humanity, it
would actas a perfect outpouring ofPan-
dora's Box. This has been fully exem-'
plified in the publication of the recipe Of
'SAPPINGTON'S PILLS'--there being
now scarcely box of the genuine Pills
10 be found! They are put up now by
Tom, Dick or Harry out of the cheap
and POISONOUS DRUGS ofthe shops,
such as ARSENICnnd WHITE YITROL
Ito axe the place of Quiuine, formerly
used in them--causing more destructioH
of human life, than all the Yellow Fever
or Ship Fever of the same period! Who
then, can wonder at the loss OF public
confidence which has befallen this one
popular Pill.
