Arctic VS.. Mustang.
4 invidioIs and iu pudent card, recently published
"A by the proprietors OF the Mustang for
some nsc. hands and although dislike news
paper controversies and have always avoided them
shall ia this instance depart from our usual CUSTOM.
The card alluded TO is aimed a, BRACES ARCTIC IL
NlMENT. and very evidently has YecHaidyy origin,
these disnterested gentlemen dslik ing TO their
ticle suppanted 80 Rapidly by BRACES ARCTIC LINZ
NENT. The card is desuitory for follow
a, but state. that Dr. Bragg had published card
nouncng that he had further connection with the
Mustang and would not hold himself responsible for its
deerora,ed quality, or for the injuries resulting from
the of the spurious article with which
glutted- DR. Brag:s son is the only OF tha;
name having any interest in the Arctic L;nment.-
BRACES ARCTIC LININENTis now and has always
been owned by Oliver T. Bragg and NJ Burrewes doing
business under the style of Bragg BurraEes and the
only connection DR.. Bragg had with i; in the
simple fact that he investedit.
Since inventng the Mustang DR.. Bragg has had
years OF experience and it is but reasonable pre-
that in his mature manhood he could produce .
better remedy than in his comparatively INEXPERIENCED
you h. The instantaneous success OF Bragg's Arctic
Lniment wherever was introduced bears conclusive
testimony that such the fact. Before the Arctic
Liniment had been introduced six months, had super
coded all other LinnientS, including the Mustang In
the meantime a spurious article OF the Mustang made
its appearance in the market up externally exactly
the genuine had been by DR.. Bragg, but unlike it
in quality possible. DR.. Bragg constantly
nsyed by letters from various :rsons who had used
this ated and injurious article of Mustang
planning Of its bad effects under the mistaken impress
sion that he still its proprietor II Dr. Bragg
sidered it to be his duty TO set the matter before the
public in card announcing that he had further
nec'ion with it, that his affair, with which
nothing to do. The vaunt OF the Mustang proprietors
that they well known to the business community is
most amusing to those who know their status. The
trouble is, they too we'll known Their motive in
the rd alluded to 10 transparent they dislike seeing
their cheaply made preparation superseded by Bra:gs
Arctic Linnient article so greatly its superior, but
which they affect TO consider failure. Not~ iihstand
ing this they offered large for its sup
preston, and failing in that expendins much
money for newspaper cards, in the vain attempt to
suadc the public that the Arctic iniment is failure
The public mt SO easily gued as these gentlemen
suppose, and can readily comprehend that il it were
such failure as these interruptions persons pretend,
they would be the last to disturb its quiet oblivion The
fact is readily perceptbie that they alarmed the
prosperity Of their article, and we'll may they be-
for they know that for article to attain the subsan
tial celebrity Of BRACES ARCTIC EMINENT, it must
possess intrinsic value capable positive demon
sratien, and hence their oniy hope is in abusing
people be deferred from trying it, well assured
il they tested its merits they could again be
induced to the Mustang In conclusion, We claim
that the Arctic Lnment Is the best article offered
the publ,c and that it will bear riumphantIy every
test which may be applied to it.
