DR.. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
his numerous CORE spondents in all the
Southern and Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Queen
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim none
CT that protection supposed to arise from
the humbuggery of p ATENT RIGHT,
His ills are not a patened 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 beslow to find
oHt the imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would at once expose Il aa
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that it will fall to the
lot Of man, in the next FIVE and twenty
years, to discover medicine Of equal Oh
greater virtues than bis. II it should, ha
will be the frst to rejoice at the increas,
ed blessings thus bestow ed upon manklnd
tie advocates the glorious advantages and
results of an untrammelled competition
IN all the concerns Of life-in the science
and practice and compounding of madi,
cine, as well as In commerce and the arts
and manufactures. 1t was on this ac-
count that ha did not ask MONOPOLY,
through the boastiDg protection of 'Pat,

The Cure of $4,000 Persons AnnuaIlyIs
OF Fever and Ague, 10 all the protection
DR.. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS OF

ln regard to making public the recipe
from which they are made, Dr. Bragg
conscieDciously behaves that, instead Of
subserviDg the cause Of humanity, IL
would act as perfect sutpouring Of Pan-
dora's Box. This has been fully exems
plified in the publication of the recipe OF
'SAPPlNGTON'S PILLS'-there bsing.

TO be found! They are put up now by
Tom, Dick or Harry out of the cheap
and POISONOUS DRUGS ofthe shops-r.
such as ARSENICand WHITE VITRQL
to take the place of Qu,nine, formerly
used in them--causing more destruction-
of human life, than all the Yellow Fever

then, can wonder at the loss OF public
