Sworn to before me- this oath day Of May, Is!9
Mayor Of the City of New York
PROoF!! PROOF!!I
Here is proof conclusive that Dr.. S P. Townsend's
sarsaparlla is the original. The following is from
some 0! the most respectable papers in this State
FROM THE
fGz- We published an advertisement inadvertently
time since that did injustice to Dr.. S P. Town
send who the original proprietor of the preparation
Of SaTsaparila known Dir. Tovnsend's Other
parties have within the past few months engaged
connected themselves with a by the name Of
Townsend who put up medicine and calls If by the
Tins medicine advertised in JhS
Tribune as the orignal sc. This advertisement also
contained matter derugatory 10 the character Of Dr.
: r. Townsend and that OF his medicine. We regret
II appeared, and in justice to the Dr. make this OK
Ilauatlon.
FROM THE
New York Daily Sun.
DR.. TowNsEND's extraordinary adj dveTtisement which
occupies an entire page Of the SCN will not escape
notice. Dr.. s. P. Townsend, who is the original pro
pTietor Of Dr. Townsends SaTsapsrlia. and whose Of
re next door 70 ours where he has been for
a. ears, is driving immense business. He receives
less than four hundred dozen Of Sarsaparilla per
DAY, and even this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine gained great
popularity his preparation OF the Sarsaparilla His
edition Of Almanacs for 1879 cost $4,000, and he
has paid the New York SUN for advertising, in the
last four years, $4,000, and he acknowledges
that il is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine is exported 10 the Canadas, West In
dies, South America and Europe, in considerable
quantities and coming into general use in those
countries, as well as here.
Suindlers.
Druggists and others that sell Sarsapsrilla for the
genuine and original Dr. TownseBd's SarsapaTilla,
that is not signed by p Townsend commits fraud
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
guilty Of such 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 well informed, and have
not read the papers and not seen advertisements
have been led to suppose, that because these ad
vertise their stuff as Old Jacob Townsends that il
must of course be the original II is less than
wear since they commenced TO make their medicine.
Ours has been in the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend
They endeavoring to palm off on the public as
nj g odst o4nd
Physician and never attempted TO manufacture med
icne, until these men hired him for the nse OF his
name. They say they do not wish the people to be-
liere that their Ssrsapara is ours the same-but
the better to deceive the public they al the time
assert that theirs is the Old DR. Townsends and the
original and endeavor TO make the people believe
that III stuff they manufacture is the DR. Townsends
Ssrsaparilla that has performed SO many wonderful
for the past ten years and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enjoyed
which is base villainous, unprincipled ialsehood
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages. Wewsh il to be understood that the old man
Is no relation to DR. Townsend whatever In their ad
vertisements 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. &C. The public should be
their guard, and not be deceived by these unprinci
pied men.
Not;ee Of Rsmopoi.-After the first of September,
1879 Dr. S. r. Townsends New York Office will be
in the South Baptist Church, No 81 Nassau street,
which is now undergoing thorough change, and
will be fitted for the better accommodation OF the pro
pIietorS and the public.
Take particular Notice--No Sarsaparilla is the
genuine and original Dr. TownsendS sarsapariila un
less signed by s. P. Townsend.
