OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN
SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary
and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other
preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from
the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and
working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when
brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its
virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes
mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for
use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY.
• -

We give a few of the many communications we have received
since we have been in England, from those who have experienced
the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must
have some weight in convincing the public of its great value.
49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1. 1851.
Gentlemen.—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume-
rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken
Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be
happy to give you testimonials should you require them. 1 am
doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects 1 have seen
myself produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that,
although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its
virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not
seen it.--I am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIXsOI4.

FURTHER IMPOIITANT TESTIMONY.—OREATCURE OP PILES.
17, Phelps-street, \Valworth, Feb. 22, 1855.
Gentlemen,-1 was afflicted with the blind Piles, and was under
medical treatment for three months, but obtained no relief.
Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained
some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt
matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained
relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found
relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely
recommend it to all who are similarly affected, Wm. HYDE.

GENTLENIEN,—PIease send me again three quart bottles of Old
Or. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. 1 feel much better, and the general
system greatly improved, and I hope 1 shall be all right with the
three now ordered.—Yours very respectfully. JOHN W. MUNCH.

William Wearn, 1, 11 igh-st reet, Southsea, writes' " I have taken
several bottles of Old Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and derived benefit
from it." ltev. J. W. Wilson, Wesleyan Minister, at Biggleswade.

Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla."

FEMALE COMPLAINTS.—GREAT CUSP: OF NERVOUSNESS.
London, June 10, 1852.

Gentlemen,—My wife has been long afflicted with a 'nervous
complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and
many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform you
that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. IL PETERSON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and CO.
PIMPLES, BLOTCIINS, ERUPTIONS, &C.
The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer
chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec-
tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface
clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, anti transparent complexions. Nothing
can exceed their efficacy in this respect.

CURE OF A DISORDERED STOMACH.

Medicine, Dr. Towmend's Sarsaparilla, for a complaint in my sto.
mach, from which I suffered a long time, and I am happy to say

Sarsaparilla is worthy of all the recommendation I can give it.
