City and County of New York, SIS.

City and County of New York, SIS.
William Armstrong of said city being duly
sworn, doth depose and say that he is a practical
Druggist and Chemist. That some time in the
latter part of May, or first of June ls4s, a man
by the name of Jacob Townsend who at that time
was book and pamphlet pedar called upon de
ponent at the house of Mr. Thompson, No. ~ Hud-
son street, where deponent boarded, and requested
deponent to write him recipe ty which to make
Syrup of SarsaparilIa. Deponent further says
that lie became acquainted with said Townsend at
the Office of Theodore Foster, Esq, book publish
er, with whom said Townsend dealt. That said
Townsend had had frequent conversations with
deponent respecting the manufacture of an article
of Sarsaparilla to be sold under the name of DR.
Jacob Townsend.
That said Townsend stated he was an old man
and poor, and was not fit for hard labor, and wish.
ed to make some money in order to live easy in
his old days, and that if Sarsaparilla under the
name of Townsend sold so well, and so much mo-
ney was made by it, he could see no reason why
he might not make something out of it too, (his
name being Townsend,) if he could get a capable
person to prepare recipe and manufacture it for
him. Deponent 10 one of the conversations asked
said Townsend if he was related to Dr. S P Town
send, to which he replied that he knew DR. 8. P.
would be down on him after he should commence;
but that he did not for him, as he had formed
a copartnership with men who could furnish the
requisite amount of capital--and was we'll prepa-
red to defend himself against any attack that might
be made on him.
Deponent further says that pursuant to the re-
quest of sad Jacob Townsend, he wrote a recipe
for the manufacture Of Syrup of SaisapariIla and
gave it to him. Said Townsend observed that he
wanted to make specimen TO exhibit to his part
ners for their approval, as be wished to crafty
them in every thing, as they furnished all the cap
ltal ;--sald Townsend also told deponent that the
bottles they were to uss were to be of the same
size and shape as DR. S. P.'s, and deponent at the
request of said Jacob Townsend went to the office
of DR. S. P. and procured one of his labels.
And dePonent further says that he has been in.
formed and verify believes the Syrup of Sarsapa-
riia sold as Old DR. Jacob Townsend's, is made
after the recipe furnished by deponent to Jacob
Townsend, as aforesaid.
And further deponent saith not.

E K p O S E,

BY reading the following affidavit, the public
will learn the origin rather where the recipe for
making the stuff they call Old DR. Jacob Town
sends Sarsaparilla came from-and will be able
to judge which is the genuine and original, and
of the honesty of the men who employed in
selling it as the original DR. TownseHd's Sarsapa-
rIlIa. DR. S. P. Townsend was the original pro.
prietor and inventor of DR. Townsend's Sarsspa-
rilla, and his medicine has gained a reputation
that no other remedy ever gained. He manufac-
tured over one million of bottles the last year, and
is manufacturing at present 5000 bottles per day.
We use more Sarsaparilla and Yellow Dock in our
establishment each day than all the other Sarsa-
pariIla manufacturers in the world. Principal of

IMPORTANT lSvENTIoN.-Mr Hugbs, of

ventou OF his own, for carrying rail road trains
across river gorges, up activities, &c, with
out the ordinary assistants, bridges, inclined
planes, tunnels, and stationary engines By
Mr.. Hughs' method, a Grain 7of any weight
can be taken over mountain, where the rise
per mile Is not over fifieen hundred feet, with
out difficulty. As Mr. Hughs designs pateu-
ting his invention IN foreign countries, we for
bear making any remarks in regard to the
principle that could interfere with his applica-
ton. Measures are in progress to secure the
American patent immediately As this in
qention appears to US now, we think that the
great problem is satisfactorily solved in regard
TO the practicability of constructing q road
from St. Louis to San Francisco and at less
expense than estimated, from the fact that
massive bridge supersfructures, as ordinarily
made, are entirely dispensed with, and the
train carried through the air. suspended by
strong cable OF iron, with suitably arranged
rails and inverted rack for propusion.-St.
