Arctic VS.. Mustang

A invldiuus and impudent card, recently
"a published 10y the proprietOrs Of the Mus.
tang, seems Ia cell for some notice NJ our
hands. and although VIC disllk newspaper con
troversies. and have always avoided them, we
shall IN this Instance depart from our usual
custom. The card alluded to In aimed M

lNlMENT. The card In too desultory for us To
follow ss'idfim but states that DIR. Bragg had
published a card announcing that he had no
further connection with the Mustang, and
would not hold himself responsible for It's do
toriorated quality, or for lie .,juries resulting
irnm the use II tue spurious article with which
the market was glutted. DR.. Bragg's son Ia the

iaEsr u now aud always has been owned by
Oliver T. Bragg and NJ. IIurrowes doing busj.
ness under the style Of Bragg & Burrowes, aud
tho only connection DR.. Bragg ever had with II
was IN tho simple fact that ho invented II.
Since inventing tho Mustang DR.. Bragg has
had many years Of experience. aud IL is but
reasonable To presume that IN his mature man,
hood ho could produce u better remedy than
In his comparatively inexperienced youth.
The instantaneous success of Bragg's Arctic
Lininent wherever II was introduced, bours
conclusive testimony that such was the fact.
Before tho Arctic Liniment had been intro
duced six months. II had superseded all other
X.
timo spurious article Of the Mustang made lis
appearnce In the market, put up externally
exactly as the genuine had been by Bragg, but
as unlike II In quality ~ possible. DR.. Bragg
was constantly annoyed by letters from VA.
riOus persons who had used this dcteriOrated
aud injurious article Ut Mustang. complaining
lof its bad effects, under the mistaken Impress.
ion that he WAS still its proprietor. ii Dr.
Bragg considered II to be his duty to set the
matter before the public in "A card announcing
that he had no further Connectiun with il that
was his affair. with which wo have nothing to
do. The vaunt OF the Mustang propret0rs that
they are wei known to the business Cummuni.
ty is most amusing to those who know their
status. Tho trouble IN, they are too well
known. Their motive IN the card alluded To is
transparent; they dislike seeing their cheaply
made preparation superseded by Bragg's
Arctic Ltnment, an article 50 greatly its st.
perior, but which they affect to consider u
failure. Notwithstanding this anectation,
they offered large sum for lis suppression, and
falling in that are now expending much money
for newspaper cards, In the vain attempt to
persuade tho public that the Arctic Liniment
Is a failure. The public are not 80 easily gull.
ed M these gentlemen suppose, and can readi
lly comprehend that IL IL wero such u failure
M these INSCRIPTIONS persons pretend, they
wOnld be the last to d siurb its quiet oblivion
The fact Is readily porceptible that they are
alarmed Tor rthoprosperlty oftheir own article.
and well they may be, for they knew that for
an article to attain the substantial celebrity Of
BRAGG'S ARCTIC LINlMENT. IL must pos.
sess an intrinsic value capable ofpoSiive dem.
Innstration, and honcc their only hope is In so
abusing II that people may be deferred from
trying II, well assured that ifthey once tested
its merits, they could never again be induced
In use tho Mustang. In conclusion, we claim
that tho Arctic Linimcnt is the best article ev.
er offered to the public, and that II will bear
triumphantly every test which may be applied
