PROOF! PRooF!!!
Here is proof conclusive that DR.. S P. Townsends
saTsapanlla is the original. The following is from
some Of the most respectable papers in this State.
FROM THE
New York Daily Tribune.
o. We published adv eItisement inadvertently
some time since that did injustice TO Dr. s. P. Town
send who is the original proprietor Of the preparation
Of Sarsepa1ilia known as Dr Townseud's Other
parties have within the past fcw months engaged or
connected themselves with msn by the name Of
Townsend who put up medicine and calls II by the
same name. Tins medicine advertised in TAr
I5ibuae as the original SC This advertisement also
contained matter derngatory to the character of Dr.
S. T. Townsend and that Of his medicine. We regret
It appeared and in justice 20 the Dr.. make this

New York Daily Sun.
DR. T0wNsEND's extraordinary adv ertisement which
occupies entire page of the Sun, Will not escape
notice DR.. s. p Townsend, who is the original pro
prietor of Dr. Townsends SafsapaIilla and whose of
fee next door 10 where he has been for sever
a. years Is driving immense business He receifes
less than four hundred dozen of SarsaDarlia per
day, and this enormous quantity does not suply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great
popularity as his preparation OF the SarSapsrlla His
edition OF Almanacs Tor lSl9 cost $4,000, and he
has paid the New York SUN for advertising in the
last four years, over $4,000 and he acknowledges
that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine Is exported to the Canadas, West In

SwindIers.
Druggists and Others that sell SarSaparilla for the
genuine and original DR.. Tow nsends Sarssparilla,
that is not signed by 5. Townsend commits fraud,
and SwiDdles 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 ours is the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who are not well informed, and have
not read the papers and not our advertisements
have been led TO suppose that because these men ad
yertse their stuff as 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
This Old Jacob Townsend
They are endeavoring to palm of on the public as
an old Physician. sc. He is not regular educated
icine, until these men hired him for the of his
name. They say they do not wish the people TO be-
eve that their Sarsaparilla is ours the samebut
the better TO deceive the public they at the time
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and TIE
orig inal and endeavor 10 make the people believe
that the stuff they manufacture, is the Dr. Townsends
Sarsapsrllla that has performed many wonderful
for the past ten years. and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enjoyed
which is base, yillainous unprincipled falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish TO be understood that the old

vertisemens and circulars they publish number of
gross falsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which We
will not notice
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers, that
DR. S. p Townsend was dead. This they send TO their
agents about the country, who report that we have
given up business, sc. &c. The public should be on
their guard and not be deceived by these unprinci
pied men.
