DEAR SIR.--l am physician and hanS
always bitterly opposed every medicioa
offered to The public under the proiectial.
Of secrecy or paienL Indeed, have ara
ways had mortal hatred of what We.
termed 'Qnack Medicines, 'P atent Nos.
irums,' &c, and have uniformly discour,
aged their nse among my patients and
friends. But one Of your agencies found
its way into this place last year, just as
Fever and Ague aud Congestiye Fever
began to spread extensively among the
peopIe. 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 Of y our Pills
both the Anti.billious and Tonic. !,
Their speedy cure of all cases was "a
astonishing, and so much extoied by ev-
cry one, that wasinduced at last TO make
trial Of them in my practice--and the ro.
suit has been to convince the, much dgdinrf
my pyejadices, that they possess a SPE-
CIFIC CONTROL over Fever and Ague
and other Billions diseases, not known Ia
any other medicine belonging to the ma.
terra medica.
So convinced am I of their great vir,
tues, that think you ought; in justice 10
suffering humanity, TO make public the
recipe from which they are made--or at
east, TO furnish your pill mass to physic-
ians in small jars, to he used in their
practice. Your .Anii bilious Pills are Ger.
tain to take the place of Calomel, and
Tonic Pills the place Of aninine, very
soon, in the Agnes and Fevers of the South
and West. Very respectfully,

DR.. Bragg takes the occasion TO say to
his numerous correspondents 10 all ths
Southern and Western States, who writa
similar letters, that his Indian Qnaen

Of that protection supposed TO arise from
he hnmbuggery ofa PATENT RIGHT
His Pills are not pdtened medicine; he
never asked for a patem 10 protect their
manufac ure 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 impostlon. The want of virtue
IN such pill would al once expose il az
the offspring Of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that il will fall TO the
lot of man, in the next five and twenty.
years, to discover a medicine of equal or
greater virtues than his. Ii it should, he
will be the first TO rejoice at the increas>.

The Cure of $4,000 Persons Annuallyis

Pills has already reached
