Righto desired by him!
Rocky FORD, ARK, July Seth, l847.
DEAR SIR.--I am a physician and have
always bitterly opposed every medicine
offered to the public under the protection
of secrecy or a patent Indeed, I have al.
ways had mortal hatred Of what are
termed 'Quack Medicines, Patent Nos.
trums, &C., and have uniformly discour-
aged their use among my patients and
friends. But one of your agencies found
its way into this place last year, Just a.
Fever and Ague and Congestive Fever
began to spread extensively among tho
reople. There being no other Doctor 10
the place, lJrould not attend to half the
sick-and 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, and so much extoed by eve
cry one, that asinduced at last 10 make
trial of them in my practice-aud the re-
suit has been TO convince me, much against
my prejudices, that they possess a SPE-
CIFlC CONTROL over Fever and Ague
and other Bilious diseases, not nown to
any other medicine belonging to the ma.
terra medica.
So convinced am I of their great vir-
tues, that think you ought; in justice to
suffering humanity, TO make public the
recipe from which they are made-or at
least, to furnish your pill mass to physic-
lana in small jars, TO be used in their
practice. Your Anil bilious Pills are cerr
tain to take the place of Calomel, and
Tonic Pills the place Of QuiBine, very
soon, in the Agnes and Fevers Of the South
and West. Very respectfully,
X. MCDOWELL, M. ID.
DR. BRAGG, 81. Louis. =,
" In publicly replying to the above,
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
bis numerous correspondents 10 all the
Southern and Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Queen
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim nona
Of that protection supposed to arise from
the humbuggery ofa PATENT RIGHT.'
His Pills 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 aot be slow to end
out the imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would at once expose it aa
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no i'd ea that it will fall to the
lot of man. in the next Ave and twenty
years, to discover medicine Of equal or
greater virtues than his. II it should, he
will be the first 10 rejoice at the increas>
ed blessings thus bestowed upon mank,nda
He advocates the glorious advantages and
results Of an untrammelled competitions
10 all the con ncerns of life--in the science
and practice and compromising OF medis
cine, as well as IN commerce aud the arts
and manufactures. 1t was on this ac-
count that be did not ask a MONOPOLY
through the boasting protection of 'Pat-.
ent Right Ii is on this account TOO;
that he il not constantly sclanoring at
the top of this ,oice--(as does one alright,
ed sugarscoating gentleman who leans
upon patented proteciion--) 'CAUTION;'
,BEWARE;' LOOK OUT FOR COUN.
TERFEITS;' &c &c.. !.
The Cure of $4,000 Persons Annually!y.
Of Fever and Ague, is all the protection
DR.. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS Of
Cuunterfeiters. His Pills combine a
tofore unknown to the world. Away,
then, with the humbuggery of patent.

Pills has already reached
