re Is next door 10 where he has been for sever
al years. is driving an immense business He receives
no less than four hundred dozen of Sarsaparla per

yertise their stuff Old Jacob Townsends that il
must Of course be the original II is less than one
y ear since they commenced TO make their medicine
Ours has been in the market over ten years
This Old Jacob Townsend
They are endearoring to palm of on the public as
an old Physician &c. He is hot regular educated
lciDe, until these hired him for the use of his

ileYe that their Sarssparils is ours the same-but
The better to deceive the public they the same time

that The stuff they manufacture is the Dr. Townsend's
