Arctic VS.. Mustang.

Arctic vs., Mus tang
A Ninvldous and impudent card, recent,
"A published by tho proprotOrs of the Mus
tahH, seems TO call for some notice at OuI
hands. aud although we dislike newspaper con
tr"yerscs, and have always avoided them, VIC
shall in this instance depart from our usual
custom. The card alluded Ia is aimed nj
BRAGGS ARCTIC LlNlMENT, and very evi.

cd gentlemen disliking To see their article sun
planted 50 rapidly by BRACES ARCTIC LIN

follow seTiatim, but states that DR.. Bragg had
published card announcing that hc had ne
Iturthcr connection with the Mustang and
would not hold himself responsible klr lis de.
leriorited quality, ur for the iuries resulting
/ rom the use nf the spurious article with which

only person of that name having any interes,
! IN the Arctic Linimcnt. BRAGG's ARCTIC IIxt.
INEST is now and always has been owned by
Oliver 7. Bragg and NJ. BurrOwes doing busi
ness under the style of Bragg d Burruwes, and
the only connection DR.. Bragg over had with Il
was in the simple fact that he invented il.
Since nvcntng the Mustang DR.. Bragg has
had many years OF experience, and IL is but
reasonable to presume that In his mature ma m.
hood he could produce II better remedy than
IN his comparatively inexperienced youth.
The instantaneous success Of Braggs Arctic
Lnlinent wherever il was introduced, bears
conclusive testimony that such was the fact.
Deior" the Arctic Linment had been intro
ducod six months, IL had superseded all other
llnlmcnts, including tue Mustang. In the mean
time spuriousariicle of the Mustang made n :
appearance IN the market, put up externally
exactly as the genuine had been By Bragg. bur
as unlike II in quality as possible. DR.. Bragg
was constantly annoyed by lcttors from va.
rions persons who had used this deteriorated
ana injurious article of Mustang, complaining

ION that he WAS still its proprietor. if Dr.
Bragg considered II 10 bo his duty to set the
matter before the public in "A card Announcing

was MS affair, with which we have nothing Ia

status. The trouble Is, they are too well

llransparent; they dislike seeing their cheaply
made preparation superGeoded by Bragg's
Arciic Iiniment, an article sO greatly IFS su.

abusing II that people may bo deferred from

that the Arctic Liniment Is the best article ev
