Arctic vs.. Mustang.

| A N Ninvidious and impudent card, recently
IA published by the proprietors OF the Mus.
tang, seems TO call for some notice at our
hands, and although We dislike newspaper con
troversies, and have always avoided them, we
shall in this instance derart from our usual
custom. The card alluded TO 10 aimed ri
BRACES ARCTIC LNiMENT, and very evi.
IDENTITY has pecunidry origin, these disnterest
ed gentlemen disliking to see the article sup
Iplanted so rapidly by BRAG6'S ARCTIC LIN
llNlMENT. The card Is too desultory for us e
follow seidfin, but states that DR.. Bragg had
published card announcing that he had M,
further connection with the Mustang, and
would not hold himself responsible for It's de.
Perforated quality, or for the i.Juries resulting
rom the use Of the spurious articlewith which
the mark was glutted. DR.. Bragg = son is the
only person Of that name having any interes,
IN the Arctic Liniment. BaAGgs ARCTIC LISI.
INENr is now and always has been owned by
oliver T. Bragg and NJ. Burrowcs doing busi.
ness under the style nf Bragg Burrowes. and
the only connection Or. Bragg ever had with II
was in the simple fact that he invented IL.
Since inventlng the Mustang DR.. Bragg has
had many years Of experience. and II IN but
reasonable to presume that In his mature man
hood he could produce u better remedy than
IN his comparatively inexperienced youth.
The instantaneous success of BraRg's Arctic
Liniment wherever II WAS introduced, bears
conclusive testimony that such was the fact.
Befnrc the Arctic Imminent had been intro
Iduced six months. II had superseded all other
liniments, including the Musting. In the mean
time n spuriousHrticlc ofthe Mustang made Its
appearance IN tho market, put up externally
exactly M the genuine hadbcen by Bragg, bu,
US unlike II In quality rs possible. DR.. Bragg
was constantly annoyed by letters from va.
rious persons who had used this '6eteriorated
ana injurious article OF Mustang, complaining
of its bad effects, under the mistaken impress
ion that he was still its proprietor. II DR.
Bragg considered IL 10 lie his duty to SGT The
matter before the public In n card Announcing
that he had no further connection with II, thai
was his affair. with which we have nothing I,
do. The vaunt of tine Mustang proprietorst that
they are well known to the business communi
lty is most amusing TO those who know theii
status. The trouble is, they are too wei
known. Their motive In the card alluded To IL
transparent; they dislike seeing their cheapl,
made preparation superseded by Bragg
Arctic Liniment, an article so greatly It's su
perior, but which they affect to consider y
failure. Notwithstanding this affectation
they offered large sum for It's suppression, and
falling In that are now cxpendihg much money
for newspaper cards, In tho vain attempt Il
persuade the public that the Arctic Linimeni
sa failure. The public are not 80 easily gull
ed us these gentlemen suppose, and can readi
| ly comprehend that VI II were uch n failure
as these unscrupulous persons pretend, the,
wnnld be the last TO disturb its quiet Oblivion
The fact Is readily pe, coptible that they M,
alarmed for rtheprosperity oltheir own article
and well they may be, for they knew that fn,
an article to attain the substantial celebrity u
BRACES ARCTIC iINlMENT. II must pos
sess AN intrinsic value capable ofpositive dem
Onst stration, and hence their only hope IL In .,
abusing II that people may be deferred from
trying II, well assured that ifthey once tcsio,
It's merits, they could never again he induced
To use the Mustang. In conclusion, we CLAIM
that the Arctic Lniment Is the best article ov
er offered to the public, and that IL will hear
to IL.
