prietor Of Dr. TCRnseud's Sarsaparla, and whose o.:
hce next door 70 ours where he has been for sever
al years is driving immense business He receives
less than four hundred dozen Of Sarsaparilla per
day. and this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine gained great
popularity his preparation Of the Sarsapsrlla. His
edition OF Almanacs for IS49 cost $4,000, and be
has paid the New York SUs for advertising in the
last four years, over $4,000, and he acknowledges
that il the cheapest advertising lie has had done.
This medicine is exported TO the CanadaS, West In

Swindiers.
Druggists end others that sell Sarssparilla for the
genuine and original Dr. Tcwnsend's SarSaparilla,
that not signed by 7. Townse nd commits fraud,
and swIndles the customers. Men that would be
guilty of such act would commit any other fraud
-eDd 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 advertisements,
have been led TO suppose that because these ad-
vertise their stuff Old Jacob Townsends" that il
must of course, be the original II is less than one
year since they commenced to make their medicine.
Ours has been in the market over ten years.

They say they do not wish the people TO be-
eve that their Sarsaparlla is ours or the sane-but
the better TO deceive the public they at the time
assert that theirs is the Old DR. Townsens and the
original and endeayor to make the people believe
that the stuff they manufacture is the DR. Townsends
Sarsaparilla, that has performed so many wonderful
cures for the past ten years and which has gained
reputation which other medicine ever enjoyed
which is a base, villainous, unprncipled alsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish be understood that the old man
is relation TO DIR. Townsend whatever In their ad-
yertisements and circulars they publish number OF
gross falsehoods respecting DR.. Townsend which we
