Arctic vs.. Mustang.

A Ninvidious and impudent card, recently
IA published by the proprieters Of the Mus.
tang, seems to call for rorno notice ut our
hands, and although we dislike ne ewspaper con.
shall in this instance depart from our usual
custom. The card alluded to Is aimed al

llNlMENT. The card is too desultory for us to
follow ss,iafim, but states that DR.. Bragg had
published card announcing that ho had no
further connection with the Mustang, and
would not hold himself responsible for its de
Perforated quality, or for the .juries resulting
rom the use Of the spurious article with which
the marketwas gluttcd. DR.. Bragg's son Is the
Ionly person Of that name having any interest
In the Arctic Iiniment. BRAoU's ARCTIC LINZ.
iMENT IL now and always has been owned by
Oliver r. Bragg and NJ. Burrowcs doing busi
ness under the style Of Bragg Burrowes, and
the only connection DR.. Bragg ever had with II
was In the simple fact that ho invented II.
Since inventing the Mustang DR.. Bragg has
had many years Of experience, and II Is but
reasonable to presume that In his mature man
hood he could produce better remedy than
In his comparatively inexperienced youth.
The instantaneous success Of Bragg's Arctic
Lininent wherever II was introduced. bears
conclusive testimony that such was the fact
Before the Arctic Liniment had been intro
lliniments. including the Mustang. In the mean.
time spnr!ousar article NJ ric Mustang made Its
appearnce IN the market, put up externally
exactly as the genuine had been by Bragg, but
AS unlike II In quality rs possible. DR.. Bragg
was constantly annoyed by letters from va.
riOus persons who had used this deteriorated
and injurious article of Mustang. complaining
Of its bad effects under the mistaken impress.
ion that he was still It's proprietor. III DR..
Bragg considered II to bo his duty 10 set the

that he had no further connection with 1t, that
was his affair, with which We have nothing To
do. The vaunt Of tho Mustang gproprietorst that
they arc well known TO tho business cUmmunl-
ty is most amusing to those who know their
status. The trouble is, they are too well
known. Their motive IN the card alluded 10 is
transparent; they dislike seeing their chcaply

Arctic Liniment. IN article so greatly its su.
peror, but which they affect to consider n
failure. Notwithstanding this afTcctation,
they offered large sum for its suppression, and
failing In that are now expending much money
FOR newspaper cards, In the vain attempt to

Ms these INSCRIPTIONS persons pretend, they

The fact is readily peiccptible that they are
alarmed dfrthoprosperlyo ofther own article,
and well they may he, for they knew that for
an article to attain the substantial celebrity of

abusing 1t that people may he deferred from

its merits, they could never again be induced
To use the Mustang. In conclusion, we claim
that the Arctic Liniment Is the host article ev.
