A Ninvidious and impudent card, recently
IA published by the. proprietors OF the Mus
tang. secms to call Cor some notice at our
hands, and although We dislike newspaper con.
ltroversies, and have always avoided thcm, we
shall in THIS instance del art from onr usual
custom. The card alluded to Is aimed nj
BRhGG'S ARCTIC IMMINENT. and very EVIL
IDENTIFY has pecfuiary origin, these disintersst-
ed gentlemen d-liking to see their article sup
planted so rapidly by BRAGT'S ARCTIC. LIN
l1NIMENT. The card Ia too dosultory Tor us t.
follow soiafi,n, but states that DR.. Bragg had
published a card announcing that no had NO
further connection with the Mustang, and
would not hold himself responsible for its de-
lterorated quality, or for the Juries resulting
rom the use Of the spurious article with which
the marketwas gluited. DR.. Bragg's son Is the
only person Of that name having any Interest
in the Arctic Iininient. BRA0o's ARCTIC LINZ
iNEST In now and always has been owned by
Oliver T. Bragg and NJ Burrowes doing busi
ness under the style of Bragg h Burrowes. and
tho only connection DR.. Bragg ever had with II
was in the simple fact that he invented It.
Since invonting the Mustang DR.. Bragg has
had many years of experience, and 1t Is but
reasonable to presume that In his mature man.
hood he could produce n better remedy than
lin his comparatively inexperienced youth.
The instantaneous success Of Bragg's Arctic
Liniinent wherever IL was introduced. bears
conclusive testimony that such was the fact.
Before the Arctic Liniment had been intro
dnced ak months, II had superseded all other
ltinimcnts, including the Mustang. In tho mean
time a spuriousartlcle Of the Mustang made its
lappoarnce In the market, put up externally
exactly as tho genuine had been by Bragg, hut

was constantly annoyed by letters from va
rious persons who had used this doteriorated
ind Injurious article Of Mustang, complaining
lof its bad effects, under the mistaken impress.

Bragg considered IL 10 be HE duty to set the

that he had no further connection with II, that
was his affair. with which we have nothing 10

transparent: they dislike seeing their cheaply

they offered large sum for Its suppression, aud
