Dr.. ToWnsendis Sarsaparilla.
There probably never has been sopopulara remedy,
Paten. medicine, as Or Townsendss Sarsaparilla,
which was originally, and continues to be manuiac.
tured in this city, at first by the Doctor himself and
afterwards for several years and to the present time
by Clarp Townsend, the present proprietors Since
the partnership formed the Doctor has resided in
New York where he keeps store, and attends to the
business that accumulates at that point The manu-
factory is in this city and is conducted by the junior
partner, Mr. Clapp-here all the medicine is manuAc-
tured
Few of our citizens have any dea of the amount Of
this medicine that is manufactured and sold Besides
the sales IN this country It shipped to the Canadss
West India Islands, South America, and even to Eu
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ steam engine besides a large number
of men, women and girls, in the preparation Of the
medicine, making boxes, printing SC, and turn out
ready for shipment over 100 dozen per day or nearly
5000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity
The great sale the medicine has acquired has in
duced number of men to get up limitations and there
is at the present time other medicines for sale that
are called DR.. Townsends saIsaparlls" One in par.
ticular started short time ago in New York is called
"Old Doctor Jacob Townsend's sarsaparla," and ap.
paTently with view, by dint of advertising, and the
usual remedies Tesorted to in such efforts TO appropri
ate the name OF DR.. S. Towusend's great remedy,
and thus gain all the advantages resulting from the
popularity Of the name which he has acquired for it,
by years Of patient and expensive labors. Dr. : r.
Townsend, formerly of this city, as is we'll known
medicine known "Dr TOWnsend's ssrsaparills y
and We think those persons hO attempting to sell
their article IS the genuine, should be exposed
FROM TIE
New York Daily Tribune.
0G- I'VE published an advertisement inadvertently
some time since that did injustice 10 Dir. $. P. Town
send, who Is the original proprietor of the preparation
of Sarsaparilla known as br Townsends Other
parties have within the past few months engaged
connected themselves with man by the name of
Townsend who put up medicine and calls it by the
same name This medicine advertised in The
Tribune as the original sc This advertisement also
contained matter derogatT. to the character Of Dr.
s. P. Townsend and that Of his medicine. We regret
Il appeared, and in justice to the Dr. make this ex
planation
FROM THE
New York Daily Sun.
Dh TowSsEND's extraordinary advertisement, which
occupies sn entire page of the SUN, will not escape
notice. Dr. S P. Townsend, who is the original pro.
prietor OF Dr. Townsends SRIsapara, and whose Of
bce IS next door to ours where he has By for
c! yrTs, Is driving an immense business lie receives
no less than four hundred dozen Of Sarsaparlla per
day and even this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great q
popularity as his preparation of the SarsapaTlla. His
edition OF Almanacs Tor 1919 cost $4,000, and he
has paid the New York sUS for advertising in the
last four years, over $4,000, and he acknowledge ges
that ii is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine is exported TO the Canadas, West In
dies, south America and Europe in considerable
quantities and is coming into general use in those
countries, as well as here.
