DEAR SIR.--I am a physician and .hana
always bitterly opposed every medical

of secrecy ora patent. Indeed, have are

friends. But one of yonr agencies foGna

Fever aad Ague and Congestive Fever
began to spread extensively among the
reople. There being no other Doctors i'd
the place, | could not attend to half the
sick-and the result was that hundreds
were compelled to make trial Of your pilk
both the Anti-billious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure -ef all cases was 90
as stonishing, aud so much exteled by ev-
cry one, that wasinduced at last TO make
trial of them in my practice-and the re.

my prejudices, that they possess a SPE-
ClFlC CONTROL over Fever ahd Agus
aud other Bilious disess not known ts
any other medicine belonging to the mSt

SO convinced am Of their great vin

least, to furnish your pill mass to physics
ans in small jars, TO be Used in their

tain to take the place OF Calomel, aud
Tonic Pills the place of Quinine, very
soon, in the Agues and Fevers Of the South
and West. Very respectfully.

IN such pill would at once expose it a.

Bragg has no idea that il will fall to the

years, to discover a medicine of equal or
greater virtues than his. II il should, h.
