| 4 nvidious and impudent card, recently pub
IA lishad by the prOprietors OF tho mustang
seems to call for some notice at our hands, ana al
! though we dislike newspaper controversies, and
have always avode them, We shall in this In
stance depart from usual custom. The card al
luded to is aimed at BRACES ARCTIC LINZ
MENT, and very evidently has pecuniory origin,
these disinterested gentlemen disking to their
article supplanted so rapidly by BRACES ARC
TIC IMMINENT. The card is too desultory for US
to follow seriatim but states that DR.. Bragg had
published a card announcing that he had no fuF-

hold himself responsible for its Geteriorated quaty
or for the injuries resulting from the use Q, Inc

Since inventing the Mustang DR.. Bragg has.ha
many years Of experience, and it is but reasona-
BILE to presume that in his mature manhood he
could produce better remedy than in his compar-
atively inexperienced youth. The instantaneous
success of Bragg's Arctic LnmeEt wherever it
was introduced, bears conclusive testimony that
such was the fact Before the Arctic Liniment had
been introduced six months, it had superceoed alf
others liniments. including the Mustang. In the
mean time spurious article OF the Mustang made
its appearance in the market, pupt u 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 inju-
rious article Of Mustang complaining of its bad eff
fects, Uader the mistaken impression that he was
still its proprietor. 1T DR.. Bragg considered it to
be his duty to set the matter before the public in

nothing to do. The vaant of the Mustang prOpre-
tors that they are well known to the business COM

status. The trouble is, they are too we'll known
Their motive in the card alluded to is transparent;
they dislike seeing their cheaply made preparation

newspaper cards, in the vain attempt to persuade
the public that the Arctic Liniment is failure

oblivion. The fact is readily per certble that they
alarmed for the pros perity of their own article
and well they may be, for they know that for

BRACES ARCTIC EMINENT, it must possess
an intrinsic value capable of positive demonstra-

is the best article offered to the public and
that it will bear triumphantly every test which
may be applied toit.
