always bitterly opposed every medicine
offered to the public under the protection
Of secrecy or a patent Indeed, have al,
ways had a mortal hatred Of what are
termed 'Quack Medicines, Patent Nos.
trums,' &C., and have uniformly discourr
aged their use among my patients and
friends. But one Of your agencies fnund
its way into this place last year, just AZ
Fever and Ague and Congestive Fever
began to spread extensively among the
reople. There being no other Doctorin
the place, | could not attend to half the
sick--and the result was that hundreds
we're compelled to make trial of your Pills
both the Anti>billious and Tonic. :,
Their speedy cure Of all cases was 40
astonishing, aud so much extoled BY ev.
cry one, that W wasinduced at last TO make
trial of them in my practice--and the re1
suit has been to convince me, much against
my prejudices, that they possess a SPE7
CIFIC CONTROL over Fever and Agus
aud other Bilious diseases, not known 10
any other medicine belonging to the ma.
terra medica. ~.
So convinced am | Of their great vir,
tues, that think you ought; in justice te
suffering humanity, 10 make public the
recipe from which they are made--or at
least, to furnish your pill mass to physics
ians in small jars, to be used 10 their
practice. Your Anti bilious Pills are cer-
tain to take the place of Calomel, and
Tonic Pills the place of Quinine, very
suoD,i in the Agues and Fevers Of the South
and West. Very respectfully,

o. In publicly replying to the above,
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
his numerous correspondents 10 all the
Southern aud Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Queen
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim nons
of that protection supposed to arise from,
the humbuggery ofa p ATENT RIGHT,
His p Ills are not patened medicine; he
never asked for pdtent to protect their
manufacture or sale. II any one were to
make aud sell counterfea Pill with his
name, the public would not be slow to 6nd
out the imposition. The want Of virtue
lu such pill would at once expose II a.
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR.,
Bragg has no idea that il will fall to the
lot of man, 10 the next Ave and twenty
years, TO discover a medicine of equal or
greater virtues than bis. II it should, he
will be the first TO rejoice at the increas>
ed blessings thus bestowed upon mankind,
He advocates the glorious advantages and
results of an untrammelled competition
. 10 all the concerns Of life--in the science
and practice and compounding OF medi-
cine, as well as in COMMERCE and the artd
and manufactures. 1t was on this ac-
count that he did not ask MONOPOLY,
through the boastiDg protection of sPat.
ent Right 1t is on this account, loo,
that he is not constantly clamoring at
the top of this ooe--( as dces one alright.
ed sngar>coa'ing gentleman who leans
upon patented protection--) 'CAUTION;
'BEW ARE;' LOOK OUT FOR COUN.
rERFEITS;' &c. &c.!!
The Cure of $4,000 Persons AnnualIy!s
OF Fever and Ague, is all the protection
DR.. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS OF
Counterfeiters. His Pills combine q
concentration Of 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
| HALF A MILLION BOXES ANNUAL.

from which they are made, DR.. Bragg
coDscienciously believes that, instead ol
subserving the cause of humanity, il
would act as a perfect outpouring of Pan.
dora's Box. This has been fully exem-
pllfed in the publication of the recipe ol
.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 tile cliear
such as A ARSENICand WHITE VITROI
to take the place of Quinine, formerly
used in them--causing more destruction
of human life, than all the yellow Fever
or Ship Fever Of the same period! Who
then. can wonder at The loss OF public
confidence which has befallen this one
popular Pill. ~
