Arctic VS.. Mustang.
A inyidous and impudent card, recently pub
~ llsh9d by the proprietors OF the Mustang,
seems to call for some notice at our hands, and al
| though we dislike newspaper controversies, ana
have always atOideI them, shall in this In
stance depart from our usual custom. The card al
uded to is aimed at BRACES ARCTIC LINZ
MENT and very evidently has a pecuaiary origin,
these disnterested gentlemen disliking to their
| article supplanted so rapidly by BRAGG'S ARC
TIC L1NIMENT. The card is too desultory for us
to follow seriutim, but states that DR.. Bragg had
| published card announcing that he had no fur
Their connection with the Mustang, and would not
hold himself responsible for its Geterorated quality
or for the injuries resulting from tine use OF the
spurious article with which the market was glutt-
ed DR.. Bragg's son is the only person OF that
name having any interest in the Arctic Liniment.
BRACES ARCTIC LINIMFNT is now and has al
ways been owned by Oliver 7. Bragg and NJ. Bur-
rowes, doing business under the style OF Bragg q
Burrowes, and the only connection DR.. Bragg ever
had with it in the simple fact that he invented
it.
Since nwnting the Mustang DR.. Bragg has had
many years of experience, and it is but reasona-
Bile to presume that in his mature m anhood he
could produce better remedy than in his compar-
atively inexperienced youth. The instantaneous
! success Of Bragg's Arctic Linimert wherever it
was introduced, bears conclusive testimony that
such was the fact Before she Arctic Lniment had
been introduced six months, it had superseded all
others liniments. including the Mustang. In the
meantime a spurious article of the Mustang made
its appearance in the market, put up externally
| exactly as the genuine had been by DR.. Bragg,
but as unlike it in quality possible. DR.. Bragg
was constantly annoyed by letters from various
persons who hrd used this deteriorated and iniu-
rious article of Mustang complaining of its bad ef-
fects, under the mistaken impression that he was
still its proprietor. If Dr. Bragg considered It to
be his duty to set the matter before the public in .
card announcing that he had no fur Their connection
with it, that was his affair, with which we have
nothing to do. The vaunt of the Mustang proprie-
tors that they well known to the business COM
munity is most amusing to those who know their
| status. The troublc is, they are too well known.
Their motive in the card alluded to is transparent;
they dislike seeing their cheaply made preparation
superseded by Braggs Arctic Liniment, an arti-
Gle greatly its SUPERIOR but which they affect to
consider failure Notwithstanding this aactation,
they offered large sum for its suppression, and
failing in that are now expanding much money for
newspaper cards, in the vain attempt to persuade
the public that the Arctic Liniment is failure
The public are not so easily guled as these gentle
men suppose, and can redily comprehend that if it
were such failure as these inscriptions persons
pretend, they would be the last odisturb its quiet
oblivion. The fact is readily per certble that they
are alarmed for the prosperity of their own article
and well they may be, for they know that for an
article art to attain the substantial celebrity Of
an intrinsic value capable of positive demonstra-
ton, and hence their only hope is in so abusingi It
that people may be deferred from trying it, we'll
dsSuIeo lila. II luey once teSteu IT'S merl6S, they
could never agasn be induced to use the Mustang.
In conclusion, we claim that the Arctic Linment
is the best article ever offered to the public, and
that it will bear triumphantly every test which
may be applied toit.
