PROOE!I PROOFt!i
Here is proof conclusive that Dr. S. P. Townsends
sarsaperllla is the original The following is from
some OF the moSt respectable papers in this State.
FROM THE
New York Dsily Tribune.
0g7- We published an advertisement inadvertently
time since that did injustice to DR. S. P Town
send who IS the original proprietor Of the preparation
OF Sarsaparilla known Dir. Tewnsend's. Other
parties have within the past few months engaged or
connected themselves with by the of
Townsend who put up medicine and calls it by the
same name This medicine advertised in The
7fibune as the original &c This advertisement also
contained matter deTogatory TO the character of DR.
S. p Townsend and that OF his medicine. We regret
il appeared, and in justice to the Dr. make this
planatlon.
FROM THE
New York Daily Sun.
On. TOWNSHIPS extraordinary advertisement which
occupies an entire page Of the SCr will not escape
notice. Dr. S r. Townsend, who is the original pro
prietor Of Dr. Townsends SaIsspaIilla and whose Of
fee is next door TO ours where he has been for
al years is driving immense business. He receives
no less than four hundred dozen OF Sarsapsilla per
day and even this enormous quantity does supply
the demand No medicine ever gained so great
popularity his preparation Of the sarsaparilla His
edition of Almanacs for I949 cost $4,000 and he
has paid the New York suS for advertising in the
last four years. $4,000 and he acknowledges
that 1t is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine is exported to the Canadas West In
dies South America and Europe, in considerable
quantities, and is coming into general use in those
countries, as well as here.
SwlndIers.
Druggists and others that sell sarsaparilla for The
genuine and original Dr. Townsends Sarssparia,
that is not signed by s. P Townsend commits fraud
and swndles the customers. Men that would be
guilty of such an act would commit any other fraud
and no Druggist OF common intelligence but knows
that ours is the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who are not we'll informed, and have
not read the papers and not seen our advertisements
have been led to suppose that because these ad-
vertse their stuff as "Old Jacob Townsends" that il
must of course, be the original II is less than one
year since they commenced 10 make their medicine.
Ours has been in the market over ten years
This Old Jacob Townsend
They are endearoring TO palm of on the public as
an old Physician, SC lie is not q regular educated
Physician and never attempted to manufacture med.
icine, until these men hired him for the of his
name. They say they do not wish the people 10 be-
leve that their Sarsaparilla is ours or the same-but
the better to deceive the public they at the same time
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and the
original; and endeaFor to make the people believe
that The stuff they manufacture is the DR. Townsends
Sarsaparilla, that has performed many wonderful
cures for the past ten years and which has gained
reputation which other medicine enjoyed
which is Q base, villanous, unprincpled falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these for
damages We wish il TO be understood that the old man
is no relation to Dr. Townsend whatever In their ad-
vertsements and circulars they publish number of
gross ialsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend which we
VIII not notice.
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers that
Dr. s. p Townsend was dead. This they send to their
agents about the country, who report that we have
given up business, sc. sc. The public should be on
their guard and not be deceived by these unprinci-
pied men.
