DEAR SIR.--I am physician and hane

Sick--and the result was that hundreds
were compelled to make trial Of our Pills
both the Anti-bilious and Tonic.
Their speedy cure of all cases was so
astonishing, and SO much extoled by ev-
cry one, that wasinduced at last 10 make
trial Of them in my practice-and the re-
suit has been to convince me, much agdins
my rejudices, that they possess a SPE-
ClFlC CONTROL over Fever and Ague
and other Bilious disc ases, not known tn
any other medicine belonging to the mso
terra nedica.
So convinced am I Of their great via~

0tr In publicly replying TO the above,
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say to
his numerous correspondents iD all the
southern and Western States, who write
similar letters, that his Indian Queet
Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills claim none
OF that protection supposed to arise from
the humbuggery Of PATENT RIGHT.
| His Ills are not Pd'en d medicine; he
never asked for patent to protect their
manufacture or sale. II any one were to
make ard sell a counterfeit Pill with his
name, the public would not be slow to find
out the imposition. The want of virtue
IN such pill would OF once expose it as
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that it will fall to the
lot Of man. in the next five and twenty
wears. TO discover medicine Of equal or
greater virtues than his. II il should, he
will be the first o rejoice at the increasS
ed blessings thus bcstow ed upou mankind
He advocates the glorious advantages and
results of an untrammelled competition
IN all the concerns of life--in the science
aud practice and compouDding Of medi-
| cine, as well as IN commerce and the arts
and manufactures. 1t was on this ac-
count that lie did not ash MONOPOLYi

The Cure of $4,000 Persons Annually!t
Of Fever and Ague, is all the protection,
Dr. Bragg desires, from the FRAUDS OF
Counterfeiters. His Pills combine u
concentration of med icinal extracts here
