Arctic VS.. Mustang,

inyidious and impudent card recently puh-
IA lishad by the proprietor. of tho Mustang,
seems to call for notice at cur hands and al
though we dislike newspaper controversies, and
have always avoidet them, we shall in this in
stance depart from our usual custom. The card al
luded to is aimed at BRACES ARCTIC LINZ
MENT, and very evidently has pesaniary origin,
these dsinterested gentlemen disiking to see their
article supplantsd so rapidly by BRACES ARC
TIC EMINENT. The card is too desutory for Va
to follow seriatina, 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 deteriorated quality
or for the injuries resulting from the use of the
spurious article with which the market was glutt-
ed. DR.. Bragg's 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 T. Bragg and NJ. Bur.
rowes, doing business under the style of Bragg 4
Burrowes, and the only connection DR.. Bragg ever
had with it in the simple fact that he invented
it.
! Since inventing the Mustang DR.. Bragg has had
many years of experience, and it is but reasona-
BILE to presume that in his mature manhood he
could produce a 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 the Arctic Liniment had
been introduced six months, it had superseded all
others liniments. including the Mustang. In the
meantime spurious article of the Mustang made
its appearance in the market, put up externally
exactly az the genuine had been by DR.. Bragg,
but as unlike it in quality as 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 1t to
be his duty to set the matter before the public in
card announcing that he had no fur ther 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 trouble is, they too we'll known.
Their motive in the card alluded to is transparent;
they dislike seeing their cheapy made preparation
superseded by Bragg's Arctic Liniment arti-
Gle so greatly it's superior. but which they affect to
consider failure Notwithstanding this Alteration,
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 failu re-
The public are not so easily gulled as these gentle
men suppose, and can redily comprehend that iii
were such failure these INSCRIPTIONS persons
pretend, they would be the last disturb its quiet
oblivion. The fact is readily per ceptibe that they
are alarmed for the prosperity of their article
and we'll they may be, for they know that for an
article to attain the substantial celebrity Of
BRACES ARCTIC IMMINENT, it must possess
an intrinsic value capable Of positive demonstra-
ton, and hence their only hope is in abusing it
that people may be deferred from trying it, we'll
assured that ii they once tested its merits, they
could never agasn be induced to use the Mustang.
In conclusion claim that the Arctic Linmens
is the best article ever offered to the public, and
that IL will bear trlumphantiy every test which
may be applied toit.
