Here is proof conclusive that DR. : r. Townsend's
sarsaparilla is the original The following is from
some OF the most respectable papers in this State
FROM THE
Albany Evening journal.
DIR. Townsend's Sarsaparilla.
There probably never has been So populara remedy

which was originally. and continues to be manufac-
tured in this city at first by the Doctor himself and
afterwards for several years and to the present time
by Clapp Townsend, the present proprietors Since
the partnership was formed the Doctor has resided in
New York. where he keeps store, and attends the
business that accnmulates at that point. The
factory is in this city, and is conducted by the junior
partner, MIR. Clapp-here all the medicine is manufac
tured.
Few Of citizens have any idea Of the amount Of
this medicine that is manufactured and sold. Besides
the sales in this country it is shipped to the Canada
West India Islands, South America, and to Eu
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manuacory
they employ steam engine besides large number
Of men, women and girls, in the preparation Of tho
medicine. making boxes printing, &c, and turn out
ready for shipment over 400 dozen per day nearly
5000 bottles. This is enormous quantity
The great sale the medicine has acquired has in

pareny with view, by dnt of advertising, and the
usual remedies resorted to in such efforts appropri
ate the name of DR.. S. Townsend's great remedy,
and thus gain all the advantages resulting from the
popularity of the name which he has acquired for it.
by years of patient and expensive labors. DR. s r.
Townsend, formerly of this city. is well known
here is the inventor and original proprietor the
medicine known DR. Townsend's Sarsaparilla-
and think those persons who attempting to sell
their article as the genuine, should be exposed.
FROM THE
New York Daily Tribune.
O. We published an advertisement Inadvertently
some time since that did injustice to DR. S. r. Town
send who is the original proprietor of the preparation
of Sarsaparilla known as Dr. Tuvnsend's. Other
parties have within the past few months engaged
connected themselves with man by the oi
Tow nsend who put up medicine and calls it ~ tho
same name Tins medicine advertised The
Tribune as the original &c This advertisement; slss
contained matter derogatory to the character Of DR.
S Townsend and that OF his medicine. We regret
it appeared and in justice to the Dr. make this ex
plsnation

SwfndIrrs.
Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for the
genuine and original DR. Townsend's Sarsaparilla,
that is not signed by 5. r Townsend commits fraud,
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
guilty OF such 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 our adv ertisements
have been led to suppose that because these men ad.
vertise their stuff Old Jacob Tow nds that
must, OF course, be the original 1t is less than one
year since they commenced to make their medicine
ours has been IN the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend
Ihey are endeavoring to palm of on the public as
a
Physician and nev er attempted manufacture med
icine, until these men hired him for the of his
name They say they do not wish the people to be-
lie. that their sarsaparilla is ours the same-but
the Setter to deceive the public they the time
assert that theirs is the Old DR. Townsend's and the
original and endesvor to make the people believe
that the stuff they manufacture is the Dr. Townsends
Sarsapanlla that has performed so many wonderful
cures for the past ten ears and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enjoy ed
which is base, villainous, unprinciped fasehood.
We have commenced suits against these for
damages. We wish be understood the old

vertisements and circulars, they publish a number Of
gross ialsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which we
will Tot notice.
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers, that
DR. T Townsend was dead. This they send to their
agents about the country, who report that we have
gwen mp business. &c SC. The public should be on
their guard, and be deceived by these unprinci-
pied men.
