ROCKY FoRD, ARK, July 3oth. ls47.
DEAR SrR.--I am physician and hapa
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 W
termed 'Qnack Medicines p atent Nos.
trums, &c., and have uniformly discour.
aged their use among rny patients and
friends. But one of yonr agencies found
i,s way into this place last year. just Al
Fever and Ague aud Copgestive Fever
began to spread extensively among the
reop'e. There heing no other Doctor i'd
the place, could bot attend to half the
sick-and the result was that hnndredA
were compelle1 TO make trial Of your Ph!i
both the Anti,bilious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure Of all cases was ID
astonishing, and so much extoled by ev.
cry one, that wasinduced at last 10 mako
trial of them in my practice--and the re-.
suit has been to convince me, much against
my prCudices, that they possess a SPE-
ClFlC CONTROL over Fever aud Ague
and other Bilious diseases. not known 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 phyaic-
lana in small jars, to he used ia theft
practice. Your .Anii 6ilious Pills are Ger.
tain to take the place of Caiomel, and
Tonic Pills the place of Quinine, very
soon, in the Agnes and Fevers Of the South
and West. Very respectfully,

OF ln publicly replying TO the absSs;
DR. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
his numerous correspondents 10 all ths
Southern aud Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Quaen
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim none
Of that protection supposed to arise from,
the humbuggery ofa p ATENT RIGHT
His Pills are not paiened medicine; hs
never asked for a patent 10 protect their
manufacture or sale. II any one were I'd
make and sell coanierfeit Pill with hii
out the imposition. The Want of virtue
IN such pill would at once expose it al
the offspring Of BASE FRAUD. Dr..
Bragg has no idea that il will fall to rha
lot of man, 10 the next FIVE and twenty
years, to discover medicine OF equal OF
greater virtues than his. II 1t shoiild, Ia
will be the first 10 rejoice at the increas>
ed blessings thus bestow ed upon mank ind
lie advocates the glorious advantages and
results Of an untrsmmelled competition
Iu all the concerns of life--in the science
and practice and compounding Of medi.
cine, az we'll as IN commerce and the arts
aud mspufaciures. Ii was on this 40,
count that he did not ask a MONOPOLY,
through the boasting protection of Pat,
ent Right, 1t is on this account, too,
that he 10 not constantly clamoring .,
the top Of this ,oice--(a as dces one alright
ed s"gar,coa,ing gentleman who lean,
upon patented proteciion--) caution;
'BEWARE; LOOK OUT FOR COUN
TERFElTS;' &c &c.!!
The Cure of $4,000 Persons Annualiy!l
Of Fever and Ague, is all the protection
DR.. Bragg desires, from the FRAuDs o
Counteriei,ers. His Pills combine 4
concentration Of edicinal extracts here
tofore unknown 10 the world. Away
then, with the bumbuggery Of 'pa,en
rights'-wlen the consumption Of thes'
Pills has already reached
HALF A MILLION BOXES ANNUAL
LY!u
} 10 regard to making public the recip,
from wnlch they are made, DR.. Bragg
conscienelotisly believes that, instead o
subserving the cause Of humanity. i
would act as a perfect outpouring Of Pan
dora's Box. This has been fully exem
ph6ed 10 the publication of the recipe o
'SAPPINGTON'S PILLS'-there bein,
now scarcely box Of the genuine Pill
o be found! They are put up now b,
Tom Dick or Harry out of the chea
and POISONOUS DRUGS ofthe shops
such as RSENICand WHITE VlTROl
to take the place Of Qulnine, fornerl
used IN tbem--causlng more destruction
of human life, than all the yellow Feve
or Ship Fever of the same period!! VIII
then, can wonder at the loss Of publ
confidence which has befallen this on
popular Pill.
