MEDICAL ADVICE.
TIR. FRANKLIN, Member of the Royal College
/ of Surgeons, of the Faculte de Medecine de Paris, and
Honorary Member of the College of Physicians, Washington, and
author of sev6ral medical works, may be consulted daily on al
Diseases, Nervous Debility, &c. &c., at his residence, No. 4,
FRANCIS-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE, LONDON.
Dr. FRANKLIN is one of the very few legally qualified physi-
cians who have directed attention to these diseases; from long
practical observation of the treatment pursued in the moat cele-
brated institutions of this country and the continent, has had,
perhaps, unusual opportunities of witnessing the various pecu-
liarities relating to the disorders; and having fora number or
years devoted his studies almost exclusively to this class of com-
plaints, he is enabled confidently to undertake their removal in as
short a time as is consistent with safety. Dr. F., to distinguish
himself from non-qualified men, refers to his qualifications as
above, and he earnestly cautions the public against a host of
ignorant pretenders and rapacious Jew quacks, who infest the
various seaports, and to make strict inquiry before risking life,
&c., in the hands of such empirics. A list of pretenders in Liver-
pool sent on application.
Persons at a distance will be minute in the detail 0/their cases;
and no letters from strangers will be replied to unless they con-
tain by Post-office order or otherwise, when Advice and Medi-
cines will be sent securely packed from observation or accident.
Post-office Orders to be made payable to JOSEPH BELL
FRANKLIN, M.D. Pamphlet on debility gratis, on receipt of two
stamps for postage.

OLD DR. JACOB TOVVNSEND'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. I am
doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I 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.—l am, your obedient servant, JOHN JAMIESON.

FURTHER IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.—GREATCURE OF PILES.
17, Phelps street. Walworth, Feb. 22, 1853.
Gentlemen,—l 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 ;t to all who are similarly affected. War. HYDE.

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

FEMALE COMPLAINTS.-OREAT CURE 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 poi
that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr.
Towasend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON.
Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co.
PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, EBU2TIONS, Sze.
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 beautiMl. Ladies troubled with rough, pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nc•:'linq
can exceed their efficacy in this respect.
