DR.. SwAYNE's VERMIFuGE.--Read this Won
derful cure - ....--.- e. = ..at.~.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20, ls4s.
DR.. SwAHNE--Dear Sir-Having made use of
various nauseous Vermfuge Medicines, which
had been highly applauded by their proprietors.
without the slightest good effect, and having heard
my neghbors speaking in the highest terms of
your Medicine, its delightful taste and ,UonlerfuI
effect, although felt somewhat discouraged from
the result of the articles had forced upon my al
ready emaciated, sickly, dyspeptic looking child,
whose delicate and almost worn out frame the
Worms had already begun to make their rava-
ges concluded to make trial of your most raj
liable Kermit4ge. which, TO our great Joy, the
Worms had to let go their deadly and strong
holds upon the vlals. Such was the effect of DIR
SwAYNE's VERmIFUGE on my child, which is
now perfectly healthy, assuming all the color of
the rose, with all the mirthfuiness of an innocent
and playful child.
Yours, with respect,
Tomas W1EGAND, No. Z Howell St.

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 capable
person to prepare recipe and manufacture it for
him. Deponent ia one of the conversations asked
said Townsend if he was related to DR. S Town
send, to which he replied that he knew DR. S. P.
would be down on him after he should commence

copartnership with men who could furnish the
requisite amount of capital--and was well prcpa-
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 Sa,sapariIla and
gave it to him. Said Townsend observed that he
wanted to make specimen 10 exhibit to his part

bottles they were to use were to be of the same
size and shape as DIR 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

The luxury of the table commenced
about the period Of the battle Of Actium,
and continued to the reign Galba. Their
delicacies consisted OF peacocks, cranes OF
Malta, nightingales, venison, wild and
tame fowls; they were also fond of fish.
The reigning taste was for profusion Of "
provisions; whole wild bears were served
up, filled with various small animals and
birds Of different kinds. The dish was
call the Trojan horse, in allusion to the
horse filled with soldiers. Fowls and
game Of all sorts were served up in pyr-
amids, piled upin dishes as broad as mod
ern tables. Mark Antony provided eight
bears for twelve guests. Caligula served
up TO his guests pearls Of great value, dis
solved in vinegar. Lucullus had par
ticular name for each apartment, and GER
tain scale of expenses attached 10 EACH
Cicero and Pompey agree to take supper
with him provided he would not order his
servants to prepared the supper in the room
of the Apollo. His friends were surprised
at the magnifieencc Of the entertainment.
He then informed them that when he men,
toned the name Of the room, the servants
knew the scale Of expense. Whenever be
supped in the room Of Apollo, the supper,
always cost fl $50. He was equally
sumptuous in his dress. 4 Roman pre-
tor, who was to gives games 10 the public,
requesting TO borrow one hundred purple
robes for the actors, Lucullus replied that
he could lend him two hundred ii he wan

houses correspondent with their profuse-
ness in other respects. n@@ ..
