In early time there resided at the low
er end of Rankin county a certain Squire
D. and a certain W-P--.
There was no such thing as sweet potato
seed to be had nearer than the White
Sand settlement, in Lawrence county
Squire D bargained with W
P. that if WI would pre-
pare the ground, he cSquire--) would
go down and procure the seed SO far,
all O. X. Squire D. went down and
brought up two bushels of seed the
potato hills being made. W--P--
proposed that it would be more cOnven-
lent for each to have his own potato
patch at home, aud that if Squire D
would give him half a bushel of seed he
would plant the 'Squire's potatos, and
take his portion of seed home and have a
patch of his own. Squire D had
business from home next day, and did
not return until the day following. When
he got home his potato patch seemed well
planted.
Sprouting time came round, and not
more than every tenth hill ofthe 'Squire's
potatoes came up. This was sore dis
appointment. He rode over to W
P--'s to see what luck he had with his
half bushel of seed, and to his great sur
prise every hill had fourishing vine
and the patch seemed to be very large
one to be planted with only halfa bushel
of seed, The Squire mentioned the fact,
with pretty broad hint that W
P-had taken rather more than half
bushel of seed.
W--P-- replied, "Paul may
plant aud Apollos water" =" but the
Increase is gift from above, Squire"
In rehearsing the facts afterwards the
Squire said "the id rascal, after
stealing my potatos, tried to throw sand
in my eyes with his Scripture quota

To the Public.

In answer to the numerous letters addressed
to me on the subject of the Mustang Lini-
ment would say that have had no connec-
ton with that article for several years. 1t
was invented by me, and while put up under
my control and supervision, was universally
accepted by the publ as the best liniment in
the world. In 1851 sold out my interest in
it to other parties, and since that time it has
passed through the hands of several persons
most Of whom have been so INSCRIPTIONS as
to manufacture it of inferior and cheap arti-
cles, and thus to entirely d stroy it's value as
IA medical remedy, trusting for success in sell
ing it, to its former highly established reputa-
ton. Its present prOprietors have gone so
far as to substitute other articles in its COM
position tor those i'll the original prescription,
so that the Mustang Linment now vended
possesses no one of the distinguishing charac-
teristics of the genuine article, as it was orig
inally invented and manufactured by me-
These parties, to enable themselves with more
facility to foist their worthless and injurious
article on the public, use my name as its spon-
sor. calling it "BRAGG's Mustang Liniment,
and cautioning the public to beware of any
other Bragg's Liniment as an imposition
This is done with view of exciting preju-
dice against "BRAGG'S Arctic LINIMENT," an
article more recently invented by me, and
possessing all the virtues of the original Mus
tang, with some improvements-th result of
experience and later discOvcries-and manu-
featured by Bragg & Burrowcs, which firm is
composed of my son, Oliver T. Bragg and
Michael Burrowes. This article is superior in
many respects to the Mustang when it was
put up pure and in good faith, and is immea-
surably superior to the article now vended as
the Mustang Liniment. 1t is also the only
linmcnt manufactured to which my name is
appended by my authority or consent. In
conclusion | cannot hold myself responsible
for any of the evil results of using the Mus
tang Lniment now vended, and especially
after this public disclaimer of any connection
with its proprietorShip or manufacture.
Respectfully,
