Rocky FoRD, ARK, July Seth, 1847.
DEAR SIR.--I am physician and hane
always bitterly opposed every medicial
offered to the public under the protection
of secrecy or a patent Indeed, have are
ways had a mortal hatred Of what We
termed 'Qnack Medicines Patent Nos
,rnms,' &C., and have uniformly discour
aged their use among my patients and
frlends. 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
reople. There being no other Doctor ia
the place, could not attend TO half the
sick--and the result was that hundreds
were compelled to make trial fyour Pills
both the ADti-bilious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure of all cases was GO
astonishing, and so much extoled by ev~
cry one, that wasinduced a last to make
trial Of Them in my practice-aDd the ref
suit has been TO coayince me, much against
my prejudices, that they possess q SPE-
CIFIC CONTROL over Fever and Ague
aud other Bilious diseases, not known tc
any other medicine belonging to the mac
terra medica. -,
So convinced am Of their great Wis
tnes, that think you ought; in justice &C
suffering humanity, TO 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 .4nt bilious Pills are Ger
tain TO take the place of Calomel, and
Tonic Pins the place of Quinine, very
soon, in the Agues and Fevers of the South
and West. Very respectfully,
r. MCDOWELL, M. D.
DR. BRAGG, ST. Louis,
O1t~ In publicly replying to the abovas
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
his numerous correspondents 10 all the
Southern and Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Queen
Vegetable Snga Coated Pills claim none
of that protection supposed to arise from
the humJuggery ofa PATENT RIGHT.
His p ills are not a patened medicine; ho
never asked for patent to protect their
manufacture or sale. Ii any one were to
make and sell counterfeit Pill with his
name, the public would not be slow to find
out the imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would at once expose it as
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that it will fall to the
ac in 10 CO. nl
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 bestow ed upon mankind
He advocates the glorious advantages and
results of an untrammelled compositions
IN all the concerns Of life--in the science
and practice and compounding of medis
cine, as we'll 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 Ii is on this account, too.
that he is not constantly clamoring at
the top of this voice as does one alright.
