MEDICAL properties of the root, which give to il
all its value
Any person can boil or stew the root till they
get dark colored liquid, which is more from the
coloring matter in the root than from anything
else; they then strain this inspid vapid H.
quid, sweeten with sour molasses, and then call
it "SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SYRUP"
But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR.. JACOB TOWNSHIPS
SARSAPARILLA.
This is prepared that all The inert properties
of the sarsapariila root first removed, every
thing capable Of becoming acid or fermentation is
extracted and rejected, then every particle Of
medical virtue is secured in a pure and concen
trated form; and thus it is rendered incapable OF
losing any of It's valuable and healing properties
Prepared in this way, it is made the most power
I ful agent in the
Cure of innumerable Diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commentators
on every side by men, women, and children
We find it doing wonders in the cure Of
l. O.N'S U.NPTIO.N, DYSPEPSIA and
LIVER CO.MPLPL4.N'I', and in Il HEU-
MA TIS.H, SCROFULd, PILES, cos
TIVEyTESS, all CUT.4.NEOUS z

IMpTPITY OF TIE BLOOD.

plants arising from digestion, from acidity Of
The stomach, from uneoua, circulation, determine

cold feet and hands, cold chilis anu hot flashes
over the body. 1t mas not its equal in Colds AM
Coughs; and promotes easy expectoratiOn and
gentle perspira,on, relaxing structures Of the lungs,
throat and every other part.
But in nothing is its excellence more manifest
ly seen and acknowledged than IN all kinds and
stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
1t works wonders in cases Of Fuor .9lbus or
Whites, Falling Of the Wcmb, Obstructed,
Suppressed, or Painful .Nenses, Eregniarify of

tual in curing all the forms Of Kidney Diseases.
BY removing distractions, and regulating the
general system, ii gives tone and strength to the
whole body, and thus cures all forms of
Nervous Diseases and De biIity,
and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of
other maadies, as Spinal Irritation, .Neurdi-

Fits, Conclusions, SC.
1t cleanses the blood, excites the liver to heal

gentle warmth equally all over the body, and the
Insenslble persplrauon: relaxes structures and

TRICKS OF QUACKS.
LET EVERYBODY READ THIS CAREFULLY.
There is a sarsa parila for sale in the different
towns called ). p. Townsend's sarsapariIla. il
is advertised as the ORIGINAL, GENUINE,
and all that. This Townsend is no doctor and
never was; but was formerly worker on rail-
roads, canals, and the li<e--yet he assumes the
title OF Doctor for the purpose of ginning creoi,
for what he is not. He says ''he has attended
two medical schools, and pracced for fifteen
yearsr' New the truth is, he never practiced
medicine day in his hte Such triJul, Wtcked
Misrepresentation looks bad to the character and
veracity Of the man, wish most sincerely, he
had never made those statements o. himself or oil
me. When will men learn TO be honest and truth
ful in all their dealings and intercourse with their
fellow mem He applied TO one Ruel Clapp to a s.
sist him 10 manufacturing his mixture, stating the
large sums he would make, as an inducenent 70
embark in the business. 1hese men have been
insulting and libelIlng me in all possible forms, IN
order to impress the public with the belief that
the Old Doctors Sarsaparlila was not the genuine
original SarsapdriNa, made from the old Doc
tors Original Recipe ] his s. =. Townsend
says have sold the Of my name for 81 q
week. will give him $500 if he will produce
one solitary proof Of this. His statements o!
Thompson. SKillman & Co., are nothing but It's
sue of f.llsehoods, simply made to deceive the
public, and keep the truth down in regard TO his
souring, fermehting compound. This is TO eau
ton the public TO purchase none but Old DIR. JA-
COB Townsend's Sarsaparilla, having on it the
Old Doctors likeness, his family Coat Of firms
and his signature across the Coat Of Arms.
THAT II MAY BE KNOWN
What is thought Of the true article in New YORK
where both manufactured, we invite the atten-
ton Of dealers and consumers 10 the following
Gard Of the first Retail Druggists in that city. II
is douby valuable coming from this source-for
it is only the retail dealers who become acquaint-
ed with the character Of medicine.
CARD 10 THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
eists ofNew YORK, BrooKly n and williamsburg
having seen an advertisement addressed to US and
Others who sell Sarsaparilla by =. Z. Townsend
which is calculated to bring us and our business
into reproach, feel called upon 10 state our per-
sonal views of the real merits Of the two Town
sends sarsaparilla. OF the claims preferred by
the parties 30 The original Sarsapariila we have
nothing to do, and leave them TO settle the matter
themselves. But since we are called "swind-
| lers," and branded with the declaration of being
willing "to commit any fraud fol- money and as
.'men ha wing no honor, and should not be trust
ed - we feel that ought TO give the reasons
why we prefer 10 sell Old DIR. Jacob Townsend
SarsaparilIa to Mr.. S. p. Townsend's, and leave
the public to judge whether We are "deceiver.
and swindlers,'' and not to be trusted by SO do
| ing.
| First-our experience and observation have sat.
isied us that the Old Doctors Sarsa pariiia pos
scsses more medical power and virtue than s. p
| Townsend's, and the testimony Of the public
would seem TO be the same, and we always make
| il matter Of conscience and duty when two ar
iicles bearing the same name and purporting t.
cure the same diseases in mar to state tina
which we consider the best.
| The fact that 5. =. Townsend's sarsapariIIa hal
greatly soured, fermenied and exploded the bot
ties, thereby giving great dissatisfaction to GU
customers, has Influenced Us in cur preference t.
the Old D.ctor's preparation. We do not fee
ourselves called upon to decide the true merits o
either article as standard preparations, but wher
asked by our customers for our opinions which
we believe under all circumstances to be the hes
we should rot hesitate in giving our preference i,
