SwIndIers.
Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for the
genuine and original DR. Townsends Sarsaparilla,
that is not signed by 5 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 is the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who ell informed and have
not read the papers and not advertisements
have been led to suppose that because these men ad
vetise their stuff Old Jacob Townse nds that it
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 wears
This Old Jacob Townsend
They are endeayoring to palm OFF on the public as
an old fhy slclan, Nc He is not a regular educated
PHYSICIAN, and never attempted to manufacture a med
cine, until these men hired him for the use of his
name They say they do not wish the people TO be-
leYs that their Sarsaparilla ours or the same-but
the Deter to deceive the public, they at the same time
assert that theirs is the Old DR. Townsends and the
esg and endeavor 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 hich has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enjoyed
which Is base villanous, unprncipled 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 number Of
gross iaisehoods respecting DR.. Townsend which We
will not notice.
