These youths, and others not vet arrested are

THE RIVER AT ST. LouIs.-The RcpuJlica

THE RIVER AT ST. LoUIs.-The Republican
of the 18th inst. says:
The river was still swelling at the rate of one
quarter of an inch per hour at dark last
evening In the twenty-four hours ending
at o o'clock, p. NJ. it had swelled six inches
three and a half inches of which swell had
taken place at 6 o'clock, A. NJ. It Will thus
be seen that the rise is gradually becoming
less rapid, and we fully expect that the river
will become stationary to-day. 1t is now just
three feet above the City Directrix, and four
feet seven inches below high water mark in
1914.
Arrivals yesterday brought very little
news Of the flood, either from above or below
The inhabitants of the lOw-ldnds are still
moving back into the country, the water
threatens their lives and prop .rty.
Matters at the landing remain about the
same, A few steamers are receiving and dis
charging on their long stages up into the
streets. and Main street is now an over crowd
ed thoroughfarc. There is much noise Jam
ming and confusion, for want of room to ac-
complish the little business doing.

To the Public.

In answer to the numerous letters addressed
t. me on the subj ct of the Mustang Lini-
ment. would say that have had no connec-
tion 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 public as the best liniment in
the world. In 1854 | 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 rs
to manufacture il of inferior and cheap arti-
cles aud thus to entirely strOy its value as
II medical remedy, trusting for success i'll sell
ing it, to its former highly established rcputa-
ton. Its present proprietors have gone so
far as to substitute other articles in its con-
position for those in the original prescription,
30 that the Mustang LiniInrut now vended
possesses no one of the Distinguishing charac-
teristics of the genuine article, rs il 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 Linimrnt,
and cautioning the public to beware of any
other Bragg's Liniment as ain imposition.
This is done with IA view of exciting pr,ju-
dice against ''BRAGG's Arctic LINMENT,' an
article more recently invented by me. aud
possessing all the virtues of the original Mus
tang. with some improvements the result of
experience and later discover, sand manu-
featured by Bragg Il Bnrrowes, VIII ch firm is
composed of my son. Oliver T. Bragg and
Michael Burrowes. This article is superior in
mary 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
liniment manufactured to which my name is
appended by my authority or consent In
conclusion l cannot hold myself responsible
for any of the evil results of using the Mus
tang Liniment now veudcd, and especially
after this public disclaimer of any connection
with its proprietorship or manufacture.
Respectfully,
A. G.. BRAGG, NJ. d.
