HInGLY IMPORTANT
TO THE PUBLIC.


Doctor to the improved Treatment of
Fever and Aaue, and Bilious Fevers--
Great atlicacy of Dr. Braga's Sugar
Coated Pills further confirmed by
Medical men-- II emoyal of the iniunc&
tion of secrecy called for--Dr. Brags'S
absWer-~No protection of a "Patcnt
Right" desired by him!
Rocky FoRD, ARK, July 30th, 1847.
DEAR SIR.--I am physician and haue
always bitterly opposed every medical
offered to the public under the protection
of secrecy or patent. Indeed, have ard
ways had a mortal hatred Of what We
termed 'Quack Medicines, Patent Nos
lrums, &c. and have uniformly discour-
aged their use among my patients and
friends. Bot one Of your agencies found
is way into this place last year, just as
Fever and Ague and Cougestive Fever
began to spread extensively among the
roople. There being no other Doctori in
the place, | cuuld not attend to half the
sick--aud the result was that hundreds
were compellei to make trial Of your Pills
both the Anti,billous aud Tonic.
Their speedy cure of all cases was sd
astonishing, and so much extoIed by ev-
| cry one, that wasinduced a last to make
trial Of them in my practice--and the re,
sult has been TO convince me, much against
my WejudiceS, that they possess q SPE-
| CIFIC CONTROL over Fever and Agu&
and other Bilious diseases, not known to
any other medicine belonging to the mso
terra medca.
So convinced am Of their great viis
tues, that | think you ought; in justice to
suffering humanity, 10 make public the
recipe from which they are made-or at
least, to furnish your pill mass to physics
lana in small jars, to be used in their
practice, Your .4nH bilious Pills are Ger
tnin to take The place of Galomel, and
| Tonic Pills the place Of Quinine, very
soon in the Agues and Fevers Of the Sou,A
and West. Very respectfully,
II. MCDOWELL, M. d.
DR.. BRAGG, 81. Louis.
az In publicly replying to the above,
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say td
his numerous correspondents in all the
Southern and Western States, who write
similar letters, that bis Indian Queen
4. Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim none
OF that protection supposed to arise from
The humbuggery ola p ATENF RIGHT.
! His 7 Ills are not patened medicine; ho
never ask ed for patent to protect their
manufacture or sale. If any one were te
make and sell counterfeit Pill with his
name, the public would not be slow to find
out the imposition. The want of virtue
III such pill would al once expose it as
he offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that il will fall to tho
lot of man. in the next five and twenty
years, to discover medicine Of equal or
greater virtues than his. II it should, he
will be the first TO rejoice at the increass
ed blessings thus bestowed upon mankind
lie advocates the glorious advantages and
results of an untrammelIed compe tiliort
lu all the concerns of ife-in the science
and practice and compounding of medi1
cine, as well as In commerce and the arts
and manufactures. 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, tooi
that he is not constantly clamoring al
the top Of this oice--( as does one alright
ed sugar coating gentleman who leans
upon patented proiection--) CAUTlON;'
.BEW A RE;' LOOK OU FOR COUN.
TERFEITS;' &c &c.!!
The Cure of $4,000 Persons Annually!
OF Fever and Ague, is all the protection
DR.. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS oi
Counterfeiters. His Pills combine a
concentration ofmedicinal extracts here
tofore unknown to the world. Away
then, with the humbuggery Of patent
rights'-when the consumption of these
Pills has already reached
I HALF A MILLION BOXES ANNUALs
t LY!!'
In regard to making public the recipe
from which they are made, DIR. Bragg
conscionciously believes that, instead oI
subserving the cause of humanity. il
would act as a perfect eutpouring of an
doras Box. This has haen fully exem.
pllfed in The publication of the recipe o.
'SAPPINGTON'S PILLS'--there being
now scarcely box of the genuine Pills
TO be found! They are put up now by
Tom, Dick or Harry out Of the cheat
and POISONOUS DRUGS ofthe shops
such as ARSENlCaud WHITE VlTROI
to take the place of Quinine, formerly
used 10 lhem--causing more Destruction
of human life, than all the Yellow Fevel
or Ship Fever of the same period! Whc
then, can wonder at the loss OF public
confidence which has befallen this one
popular PilL
Fur sale by the rolio"ins asanis in Wy
apdot.
