OLD DIR. JACOB TOWNSEND,
THE ORIGINAL piscovERER OF THE

Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old DR. Jacob Townsend is now about 10 years
Of age, and has long been known the .fU-
THOR and DISCO VERER Of the GEN
UI.N.E ORIGLN.4L "1'O HN'SE.N SIR
S.4P.ARTLL.5." Being poor, he COM
PEELED to limit its manufacture, by which means
il has been kept out Of market, and the sales cir
cu,nscrIbed 10 those only who had proved its
worth, and known its value. II had cached the
ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons who
had been healed of sore diseases, and saved from
death, proclaimed its wonderful
HEALING POWER.
This GRAND AND UNEQUALi.ED PREP
ARATION is manufactured on the largest scale,
and is called for throughout the length and
breadth Of tbs land, especially as 1t is found in
capable Of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike Young 5. T. Townsend's, it improves
with age, and never changes but for the better
because it is prepared on scientific principles BY
scieatifc man. The highest knowledge of
Chemistry, and the latest discoveries Of the art
have all been brought into reGuision in the man
ufac,ure of the Old Dr's Sarsaparilla The sar-
saparilla root It is We'll known 10 medical men,
contains many medicinal properties, and some
properties which inert or useless, and others,
which If retained IN preparing II for use, produce
Fermentation and acid, which Is injurious 10 the
system. Some Of the properties of sarsaparilla
so rolatile tina; they entirely evaporate and
lost in the preparation, If they are not pre-
served by scientific process, known only 10 those
experienced in It's manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which tiy off in vapor, or as
an exhaiatiou, under heat, the very essential
medical properties Of the root, which give TO it
all It's value.
ANY person can bell or stew the root Ill, they
get Ia dark colored liquid, which is more from the
coloring matter in the root than from anything
else; they then strain this inspid or vapid Ii
quld, swceten with sour moassss, and then call
it "SARSAPARiLLAE EXTRACT or SYRUP"
BIZ, such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DIR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S
SARSAPARLLA.
This is SC prepared that al the inert properties
Of the sarsaparllla root are first removed, every
thing capable Of becoming acid or fermentation is
extracted and rejected, then every particle of
medical virtue is secured IN pure and concen
,rated FORM and thus il is rendered incapable Of
losing any of lis valuable and healing properties.
Prepared in this way, ii is made the most power
ful agent in the
Cure OF innumerable Diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commentators
on every side by men, women, and children

LET EVERY READ THIS CAREFULLY.
There Is a sarsapara for sale in The different
towns called S. p TOwnsend's sarsaparilla. 1t

and all that. This Townsend is no doctor and
never was; but was formerly worker rail
roads, canals, and the lIke--yet he assumes the
title Of Doctor for the purpose of gaining credit
for what he is not. lie says ''he has attended
two medical schools, and practiced for fifteen
rears!"' Now the truth IS, he never prac,ced
medicine day in his life. Such urltul, ,icksd
misrepresentation looks bad to the character and
veracity Of the man, | wish most sincerely, he
had never made those statements Of himself or Of
me. When will men learn 10 be honest and truth
fnl in all their dealings and intercourse with their
fellow men: He applied 10 one Rue Clapp TO as

large sums he would make, an inducement 20
