ayears, Is driving immense business He receives
NO less than four hundred dozen Ui SarsapaTla pei

Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for the

guilty of such an act would commit any other fraud

Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who are not well informed and have
not read the papers, and not ad
have been led to suppose that because these ad
vertise their stuff Old Jacob Tow nsends" that it
must, of course, be the original 1t 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 a:
an old Ply stefan, &c He is not a regular educated
Physician and never attempted to manufacture med
icine until these men hired him for the Of his
name They say they do not wish the people to be-
leve that their Sarsaparlla is ours, the same-but
the better deceive the public they time
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and the
original and endesvor to make the people believe
that the stuff they manufacture is the DR. 1ownsends
Sarsaparllla, that has performed many wonderful
cures for the past ten years and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine enjoy cd
which is a base, villainous, unprncipled falsehood
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish to be understood that the old
is no relation TO Dr.. Townsend whatever In their ad-
vertisements and circulars they publish number Of
gross iaisehoods respecting Dr. Tow nsend which We
will not notice.
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
their guard. and not be deceived by these unprinci
pied men.
