Fever and hgue and Congestiye Fever

the place, could not attend to half the

were compelled to make trial of your Pills

Their speedy cure of all cases was SO
astonishing, and so much eXtoled by efn

and other Bilious diseases, not known to
any other medicine belonging to the mt e

So convinced am I of their great vito

suffering humanity, TO make public the
recipe from which they are made--or at
least TO furnish your pill mass to physics

or In publicly replying to the above;
Dr. Bragg takes the occasion to say TO
his nnmerous CORE spoudents in all the

similar iotters, that his Indian Queen

Of that protection supposed to arise from
The humbaggery Of a p ATENr RIGHT.
His Ills are not pGtehed medicine; he
never asked for a patent TO protect their
manufacture or sale. If 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
Ia such pill would at once expose it as
the offspring of BASE FRAUD. DR..
Bragg has no idea that il will fall to the
