nR. TovssEND's extraordinary sdy ertisemert which
occupies an entire page Of the sUE, Will not escape
notice Dr.. s. 7. Townsend, who is the original pro
prieOT OF Dr. Townsends SaTsaF Farilla and whose Of
fee is next door ours where he has been for
al years, driving immense business He receives
no less than four hundred dozen Of Sarsapara per
day, and this enormous quantity does supply
the demand. No medicine gained great 8
popularity as hs preparation OF the SaTsapara. His
edition Of Almanacs for IS49 cost S22,o00, and he
has paid the New York sUr for advertising in the
last four years $4,000 and he acknowledges
that il is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine is exported 10 the Canadas West In
dies South America and Europe in considerable
quantities, and is coming into general in those
countries, as well as here.
Sgindlers.
Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparlla for the
genuine and original Dr. Tow nsend's Ssrsaparilla,
that is not signed by S. r. Townsend commits fraud
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
guilty OF such act would commit 6ny other fraud
--and no Druggist Of common intelligence but knows
that ours is the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who not well informed and have
not read the papers, and not advertisements
have been led TO suppose that because these men ad
vertse their stuff as old Jacob Townsendsn that il
must of course be the original il is less than
year since they commenced TO make their medicine
Ours has been in the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend.
They endeayoring to palm of on the public as
an old Physician, sc. He is not regular educated
Physician and never attempted TO manufacture med.
ciBe, until these men hired him for the use OF his
name. They say they do not wish the people to be
leve that their Sarsapsrlla ours the same-but
the better 10 deceive the public they al the time
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and the
original and endeavor 10 make the people believe
that the stuff they manufacture is the Dr. Townsends
SsIsaparilla, that has performed many wonderful
for the past ten years, and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enjoyed
which is base, vilainous unprincipled fslsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish il TO be understood that the old man
is no relation 10 DR.. Townsend whatever In their ad
vertisements and circulars they publish number Of
gross ialsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which We
viii not notice
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers. that

pied men,
