it has been kept out OF market, and the sales cir
cumscribed to those only who had proved its
WORTH and known its value. 1t had reached the
ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons who
had been healed of sore diseases, and saved from

! HEALING POWER.
| This GRAND AND UNQUALIFIED PREP

Unlike young =. p. Hownsend's, it improves

because it is prepared on scientific principles by
scientific man. The highest knowledge OF
Chen. stry, and the latest discoveries Of the art,
have ala been brought into requistion in the m, n

contains many medicinal properties, and some
properties which are inert useless, and Others
which if retained i'll preparing 1t for use, produce
Fermentation and ecia, which is injurious TO the
system. Some Of the properties Of sarsaparilla
are so rolatile that they entirely evaporate and

But such is not the article known as the

This is 90 prepared that all the inert properties
Of the Sarsapariiia root are first removed, every
thing capable Of becoming acid or fermentation is

trated form; and thus it is rendered incapable Of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties.

and all that. This Townsend is no doctor and
never was; bit was formerly worker on 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 che has attended
two medical schools, and practiced for fifteen

medicine day in his life. Such wilfuk, tcic.ed

fui in all their dealings and intercourse with their
fellow men? He applied to one Ruel Clapp TO as
sist him in manufacturing his mixture, stating the
large sums he would make, as an inducement TO
embark in the business. These men have been
insulting and Iibeng me in all possible forms, in
order to impress the public with the belief that
the Old Doctors Sarsaparilla was not the genuine
original Sarsaparilla, made from the old Doc

one solitary proof of this. His statements OF

We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
gists fNew YORK, Brook yn and Wiiliamsburgh
having seen an advertisement addressed to us and
Others who sell Sarsapariila 10y :. f. Townsend
which is calculated to bring us and our business
into reproach, feel called upon to state our per-
sonal views of the real merits of the two Town
sends sarsaparilla. OF the claims preferred by
the parties to the orig final 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 for money and as
linen having no honor, and should not be trust
- we feel that we ought to give the reasons
why we prefer to sell Old DR.. Jacob Townsend's
Sarsaparilla to Mr.. S. p. Townsend's, and leave
the public to Judge whether we are ''deceivers
and svindlprs - ard not to he trusted by so do.
