Arctic We IaEu9tans
A N invidious and inpudcnt card, recently pub
to call for some notice at hands, and although
we dislike newspaper controversies, and haveal-
ways avoided theln shall in this :pstahce de-
is aimed at BRAGG'S ARCTIC LINIMENT, and
very evidently has a pecuniary origin, these dis
Interested gentlemen disliking to their article
supplanted SO rapidly by Bragg's Arctic Liniment
The cards to dcsultory for us seriat, but
ctae that he had no further connection with the
Mustang, and would not hold himself responsible
for it's deterorated quality the injuries result
ting from tho of the spurious article with which
the market Mas glutted. DIR. Bragg's son is the
only person of that name having any interest in the
Arctic Linimcnt. Bragg's Arctic Linineutis now
and has always been owned by Oliver 7. Bragg
and NJ. Burrows doing business under the style Of
Bragg & Burrows. and the only connection DR..
Bragg had with it was in the simple fact that
he invented it. ri .H
Since in ven ling the Mustang DIR. Bragg has had
many years of experience, and it is but Reasonable
to presume that in his mature manhood he could
produce better remedy than in his comparatively
inexperienced youth. The instaneouS success Of
Bragg's Arctic Liniment wherever it was i,ftrodu-
Ced bears conclusive testimony that such was the
fact. Before the Arctic Liniment had been intro
duced six months, it had superseded all OTHER Lin
iments, including the Mustang. In the meantime
ance in the market put up externally exactly as the
genuine had been by Dr. Bragg. but as unlike il in
noyed by letters from various persons who had used
this deterloratcp and injurious article of Mustang
complaining OF Its bad effects, under the mistaken
impression that he 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
further connection with it, that was his affair
with which we have nothing to do. The vaunt OF
the Mustang proprietors that they are well known
to the business community is most amusing to those
who know their status. The trouble is. they are
we'll known. Their motive in the card lluded
to is transparent; they dislike seeing their cheeply
| made preparation superseded by Braeg's Arctic
| Liniment, article SO greatly it's SUPERIOR but
which they affect to consider failure. Notwith-
standing this aifectation, they offered large sum
for its suppression, and failing in that are now
| pending much money for newspaper cards in the
vain attempt persuade the public that the Arctic
Lniment is failure. The public are not so easily
guided as those gentlemen suppose, and can readi-
~ comprehend that if it such failure as those
! unscrup ulous persons pretend, they would be the
last disturb its quiet oblivion. The fact is rcadi
ly perceptiDle that they alarmed for the pros
perity of their own article and we'll they NAV he
for they knew that for article to attain the cub,
stantiat celebrity of Bragg's Arctic Liniment il
must possess intrinsic value capable of positive
demonstration, and hence their only hope ia in an
abusing ii that peopl4may be deferred from irving
it, we'll assured that if they tested it's merits
they could never again be induced to use the Mus,
! tang In conclusion, We claim tina. the Arctic Lin
ment is the best article offered to the public
and that it will bear rriumphnntly every test which
may be applied to it.
