Arctic VS.. Mustang.

A N inyidious and impudent card, recently pRb-
~ lishsd by the proprietors Of thu Mustangs r
though we dislike newspaper controversies and
have always avoide them, we shall in this in.s
stance depart from usual custom. The card al Z
luded to is aimed at BkAGGS ARCTIC LlNI- ?
these disnterested gentlemen disiking to see their
article supplanted SO rapidly by BRACES ARC
TIC EMINENT. The card is too desutory for rs
to follow seriatim but states that DIR. Bragg had ~
published card announcing that he had no fur
Their connection with the Mustang, and would not
hold himself for its 6eteriorated quality
Cor for the injuries resulting from the use of the
spurious article with which the market was gutt-
ed. DR.. Bragg's is the only person Of that
name having any interest in the Arctic Lipment.
BRACES ARCTIC LINIMFNT is now and has al
WAYS been owned by Oliver 7. Bragg and NJ. Bur-
rowes, doing business under the style of Bragg =
Burrowes, aud the only connection DR.. Bragg ever
had with it was In the simple fact that he invented
it. --ct !
Since inventing the Mustang DR.. Bragg has had
many wears of experience, and it is but reasona.
BILE to presume that in his mature manhood he
could produce better remedy than in his compar-
atively inexperienced y outh. The instantaneous
success of Bragg's Arctic Linimert wherever il
was introduced, bears conclusive testimony that
such the fact Before the Arctic Liniment had
been introduced six months, it had superceoed all
others liniments. including the Mustang. In the
meantime spurious article of the Mustang made
its appearance in the market, pupt externally
exactly as the genuine had been by DIR. Bragg,
but unlike it in quality possible. DR.. Bragg
was constantly annoyed by letters from various
persons who hrd used this deterorated and inu-9
rious article of Mustang complaining Of its bad eff
fects, under the mistaken impression that ne was
still Tits proprietor. Ii DR.. Bragg considered il
be his duty to set The matter before the public in 8
card announcing that he bad no fur Their connection
with it, that was his affair, with which we have
nothing to do The vaunt of the Mustang pr0prie-
tors that they well known to the business COM
munity is most amusing to those who know their
status. The trouble is, they are too we'll known.
Their motive in the card alluded to is transparent
they dislike seeing their cheaply made preparation
superseded by Braggs Arctic Lniment, an arti7
Gle greatly its SUPERIOR but which they affect to-
consider failure Notwithstanding this Alteration,
they offered a large sum for its suppression, and
failing in that are now expending much money for
newspaper cards, in the vain attempt to persuade
the public that the Arctic Liniment is failure
The public not so easily gulled as these gentle
| men suppose, and can redily comprehend thatifit
were such failure as these unscrupulous persons
pretend, they would be the last 10 disturb its quiet
oblivion The fact is readily percertible that they
are alarmed for the prosperity of their own article
and we'll they may be, for they know that for an
article to attain the substantial celebrity of
! BRACES ARCTIC IMMINENT, it must possess
an intrinsic value capable of positive demonstra-
ton, and hence their only hope is in abusing it
that people may be deferred from trying it, we'll
assured thai it they once tested its merits, they
could never agasn be Induced to use the Mustang.
| In conclusion, we claim that the Arctic LiIiment
is the best article ever offered to the public, and
that it viii bear triumphantly every test which
may be applied lit. ,..ts +t.4s.-
