FROM THE
New York Daily Sun.
DR. TowNsgND's extraordinary advertisement which
occupies an entire page Of the SUr viii not escape

prietor Of DR. Townsends SarSaparilla and whose Of
nee next door 10 where he has been for sever
al Years is driving immense business He receives
no less than foar hundred dozen OF Sarsapalla per

SyindIers.
Druggists and others that sell sarsapera for the
genuine and original DR.. 1ownsend'S SarSsparilla,
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 are not well informed and have
not read the papers and not our edyertisereTs
have been led to suppose that because these men sd
vertise their stuff Old Jacob TownsendR that il
must OF course, be the original It is less than one
year since they commenced to make their medicine
Ours has been IN the market o. er ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend
They arc endeavoring to palm Of on the public as
an old Physician, &c He is not regular educated
Physician, and never attempted to manufacture med.
icIne, until these men hired him for the use OF his
name. They say they do not wish the people TO be-
lleve that their Sarsaparilla is ours the same-bu
the better 70 deceive the public they az the same time
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and tie
original aud endesvor to make the people believe
that :he stuff they manufacture is the DR. Townsends
Sarsaparilla that has performed many wonderful
cures Tor the past ten years and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enioyed-
which is o base, vilainous, unprincpled falSehood
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish to be understood that the old man
IS no relation TO Dr. Townsend whatever In their ad.
vertisements and circulars they publish a number Of
TOSS ialsehoods respecting DR.. Townsend which We
will not notice
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers that
Or r. townsend was dead. This they send TO their
agents about the country, who report that we have
gwen up business, &c &c. The public should be Oh
their guard, and not be deceived by these unpriuci
pied men.
