ROCKY FoRD, AK, July 3oth, l847.
DEAR SIR.--I am physician and hanc
always bitterly opposed every medical
offered to the public under the protection
of secrecy ora patent Indeed, have ara
ways had a mortal hatred of what. We
termed 'Quack Medicines,' Patent Nos
trums, &c, and have uniformly dscourr
aged their use among my patients and
friends. But one of your agencies found
is way into this place last year, just as
Fever and Ague and Congestive Fever
began to spread extensively among the
people. 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 your Pills
both the Anti,billious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure Of all osses was 90
astonishing, and SO much extoled by ev-
cry one, that ~ asinduced at last TO make
trial Of them in my practice--and the re7
suit has been to convince me, much against
1iy prejudiceS, that they possess a SPE-
CIFlC CONTROL over Fever and Ague
aud other Bilious diseases, not known liz
any ether medicine belonging TO the mi
terra medca.
So convinced am Of their great VIII
tues, that think you ought; in justice te
suffering humanity, TO make public the
recipe from which they are made--or at
lie as,, to InTniOh Your pill mass to physice
ians in small jars, to be used n their
practice. Your AMI bilious Pills are Ger
tain to take the place of Calomel, and
Tonic Pills the place Of Quinine, very
soon, in the Agnes and Fevers of the South
and West. Very respectfully,

Dir. BRAGG, St. Louis.
" In publicly replying TO the above
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 nohe
OF that protection supposed to arise from
the humbuggery Of a PATENT RIGHT.
His 7 Ills are not a patened medicine; he
never asked for patent to protect their
manufacture or sale. II any one were to
make and sell counterfeit Pill with hi,
name, the public would not be slow to fiud
out the imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would ot once expose it as
the offspring Of BASE FRAUD. DR.,
Bragg has no idea that il will fall to thA

years, to discover a medicine of equal or
greater virtues than his II it should, he
sill be the first to rejoice at the increas,
ed blessings thus bestowed upon mankind,
He advocates the glorious advantages aud
results of an untrammelled competitions
IN all the concerns of life--in the science
and practice and compromising of .nodi-
cine as well as IN commerce and the arte
and manufactures. 1t was on this ac-
