THE ORIGINAL DIscovERER OF THE
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilia.

~
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilia.
Old Or. Jacob Townsend is now about 20 years
Of age and has long been known the "A u
THOR and DISCO VERER of the GEN.
Uka.E ORIGINAL ''TO Iv-N'SE.ND SIR
S4P4RILLi." Being poor, he was COM
PEELED ~ limit It's manufacture, by which means
Il has been KEEP, out Of market, and the sales cir
eumscribed to those oui, who had proved is
worth, and known It's value. IL had reached the
cara OF many, nevertheless, rs those persons " no
had been healed Of sore disco ses and saved from
death, proclaimed us wonderful
HEALING POWER.
This GRAND AND CNEQUALLED PREP
ARATION Is manufactured on the largest scale,
aud ia called fur throughout the length and
breadth of the land, especially as it Is found AZ
capable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike Young :. L. Townsends, it improves
with age. and never changes but for the better;
because it is prepared Oh scientific principles by
scieitgic man. The highest knowledge oi
Chemistry, and the latest discoveries OF toe art
have all been brought into rcGuisltion IN the
ufacture OF the Old Dr's Sarsapara. The sar
saparIila root i, is well known 10 medical men,
contains manv medicinal properties, and some
properties which are inert or useless, and others,
which If retained III preparing Ii Cor use. produce
fermentation and Gcid, which Is injurious 10 the
system Some of the properties OF sarsapariiia
are 50 r0latile that they entirely evapOrate and
lost in the preparation, II Ihey are not pre-
served by a scientific process, hnownony to those
experienced in its manufacture Moreover, these
voi..ile principles, winch ~ oil in vapor, as
an exbastiou, under heat, are the very essential
medical properties OF The root, which give to il
all its value.
ANY person can boil or stew the root till they
geta dark colored liquid, which is more from tho
cooring matter the 700, than from anything
else, they then strain this insipd or Vapd IL
ou,I sweeten with sour moasses, and then call
"SARSAPARiLLAEX TRACTo or : fRUP.'
But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DIR. ACOB TOWNSHIPS
SARSAPARiLLA.
This ia so prepared that ali the inert properties
Of the sarsaparI!ia root are first removed, every
thing ca ptbIe of becoming acid or fermentation Is
extra ted and rejected, then every particle Of
medical virtue is secured iii pure and concen
Uated turtn and thus IL Is rendered incapable Of
losing any Of ts valuable and healing properties.
Prepared IN this way, II is made the most power
fal agent in the
Cure OF innumerable Diseases.
Hence the reason why We hear Communications
on every side by meG, women, and chlldren.--
We find 1t doing wonders in the cure Of
CON'SC.VPTION, DYSPEPSIA and
