TO THE PUBLIC.

Doctor to the improved Treatment Of

Great afiicacy of DR. Bragy's Sugar
Coated Pills further confirmed by
Medical mens-Removal of the injunc-
tion ofsecrecy called for--Dr. Brags'-
answer--No protection Of 'sPatent
Right" desired by him!
Rocky FoKD, ARK July 30h, 1S47.
DEAR SIR.--I am a physician and have
always bitterly opposed every medicine
offered to the pu blic under the protection
of secrecy or a patent Indeed, l have al
ways had a mortal hatred of what are
termed 'Qnack 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, lust as
Fever and Ague and Congesti,e Fever
began to spread extensively among the
reople. There being no other Doctor in
the place, ! could not attend to half the
sick-and the result was that hundreds
were compelled to make trial Of sour Pills
both the Anti.bilious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure of all cases was SO
astonishing, and so much extoled by ev.
cry one, that wasinducej at last 10 max e
trial of them IN my prac,ice-and the re
SUIT has been to convince me, much against
my prCudices, that they possess a SPE-
ClFiC CONTROL over Feyerand Ague
and other Bilious diseases, notkuown to
any other medicine belonging to the ma
,eria medica,
SO convinced am of their great vir.
tues, that think you oughl in justice to
suffering humanity, to make public the
recipe from which they are made--or a,
least, to furnish your pill mass to ph, Sic
lana in small jars, to he used in their
practice. Your .4nH bilious Pills are Ger
tain to take The place OF Calomel, and
Tonic Pills the place of Quiniue, very
soon,in the Agues and Fevers of the South
and West. Very respect fully,
X. MCDOWELL, M. D.
Dr.. RRAGa, ST, Louls,
67- In publicly replying to the above,
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
bis numerous GORE spundents in all the
n'hein and Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Quoeu
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pulls claim none
OF that protection supposed to arise from
The hntnbugsery of p PATENT RIGHT.
Ills Pills are not Patened medicine; he
never asked for patent 10 protect their
manufacture or sale. If any one were tc
make and sell counterfeit Pill! with hi.
name, the public would not be sluw to find
OUT The imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would at once expose ii a.
the offspring Of BASE FRAUD. DR.
Bragg has no idea that i, will fall to tn.
tot of man, 10 the next FIVE and tweut,
yeats. to discover medicine of equal Of
greater virtues than his: Ii il should: h.
VIII be the first TO rejoice at tie incfeas
ed blessings thus bestoW ed upon mankind
lie advocates the glorious advantages an.
results Of an uptrainmelled coinpetlior
IN all the concerns Of life--in the scienc,
and practice and compounding Of medi
cine; as we'll as IN commerce and the art
aud manufactures. Ii was on this ac
count that he did not ask a MONOPOLY
through tie boating protection of Pat
enl Right Il is on this account, too
hat he is not constantly olamoring a
he top of this soice--( as Ices one affl light
ed sneai>coa'ing gentleman who lean,
upon patented profectioM--) caution;
BEN AkE;' LOOK our FOR COUN
fERFElTS;' &c' &c.!!
The Cure of $4,000 Persons Annually!
OF Fever and Ague, is all the protection
Dr.. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS .
Count eriei,ers. HIS pills combine !
concentration ofmedicinai extracts here
totore unknown to the world. AVA,
then, with the lnmbuggery of 'paten,
rights'-when tie Consumption uf these
Pills has already reached
HALE A MILLION BOXES ANNUAL
.a.s LYM!
In regard to making public the recip,
fr'm which they are made, DIR. Bragg
c"nscieDcionsly believes that, instead o
snbserying the cause Of humanity, j
would act as perfect outpourIng Of Pan
dora's Box. Tins has been fully exem
pllhed in the publication Of the recipe o
'SAPPiNG TOMS PlLLS'-there being
now scarcely box Of The genuine PIN
80 be found! They are put up now b,
Tom Dick or Harry on, OF the oheaI
and POISONOUS DRUGS ofthe shops
such as ARSENICand WHITE VITKOI
to take tie place OF Qninine. trmerl,
used IN them-=causing more destruction
of human life, than all the Yellow Feve
OF Ship Fever IF the same period!! VIII,
then, can wonder at the luss of public
confidence which has befallen this one
popular Plll.
