proof! PRCOFH!
Here is proof conclusive that Dr. 5. P. Townsend's
Sarsaparllla is the original The following is from
some o! the most espectaile papers in this State
FROM THE
New York Daily Tribune.
Igz- We published an advertisement inadvertently
some time since that did Injustice to DR.. S T. Town
send no the original proprietor OF the preparation
OF SaTsapaIilla known as DR. Iownsend's Other
parties have within the past few months engaged or
connected themselves With bv the name of
Townsend who put up medicine and calls Il by the
same name. This medicine advertised in The
Tribune the original SC This advertisement also
contained matter derogatory TO the character OF DR.
:. P Townsend and that Of his medicine We regret
FROM THE
New York Daily Sun.
On. TowHsEND's extraordinary advertisement which
occupies entire page of the Sex viii not escape
notice DR.. S. P. Townsend who is the original pro
prietor of Dr. Townsends SaTss sTlla, and whose Of
fee is next door 10 ours where he has been for sever
al years, driving immense business. He receives
no less than hundred dozen Of Sarsaparlla per
day and this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great
popularity his preparation of the Sarsaparilla His
edition of Almanacs for 1919 cost $4,000, and he
has paid the New York SUN for adsertsing, in the
last four years, $4,000 and he acknowledges
that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine is exported to the Csnadss, West In
dies South America and Europe, in considerable
quantities, and is coming into general use in those
countries, as well as here.
SuindIers.
Druggists and others that sell Ssrsaparlls for the
genuine and original DR.. Townsend's SarsapaTills,
that is not signed by s. P Townsend commits fraud
and swindles 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 not well informed, and have
not read the papers, and not Advertisements
have been led to suppose that because these adj
yertise their stuff as Old Jacob Townsendsn that il
must Of course be the original II is less than
year since they commenced TO make their medicine
Ours has been in the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend
They are endeayoIing 70 palm of on the public as
Phy sicIan and attempted TO manufacture med
icine until these hired him for the use Of his
name They say they do not wish the people to be-
ere that their sarsspsrilla is ours the same-but
tie better to deceive the public, they al the same time
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and the
original; and endeaVor to make the people believe
that The stuff they manufacture, is the Dr.. Townsends
Sarsaparilla 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 rillainous unpIincipled falsehood
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 falsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which we
Viii not notice. @ EaE
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 on
their guard, and not be deceived by these unprinci
pied men.
