PRooF!! PRooF!!!
Here is proof conclusive that DIR. s. P. Townsends
sarsapsrilla is the original. The following Is from
some of the most respectable papers in this State.
FROM THE
Albany Evening journal.
DR.. Townsend's Sarsaparilla.
There probably never has been so popular remedy,
or paten. medicine, as Dr. Townsends's sarsaparlla,
which was originally and continues to be manufac.
tured in this city, at first by the Doctor himself and
afterwards for several years and to the present time
the partnership was formed the Doctor has resided in
New York, where he keeps store and attends to the
busines: that accumulates at that point The manu-.
factory in this city, and is conducted by the Junior
partner, Mr. Clarp-here all the medicine is manufac-
tured
Few of citizens have any idea of the amount Of
this medicine that is manufactured and sold Besides
the sales in this country it is shipped to the Csnadas
West India Islands, South America and even to Eu.
rope, in considerable quantities. At the mandatory
they employ steam engine, besides large number
OF men, women and girls, in the preparation of the
medicine, making boxes printing, &c, and turn out
ready for shipment over 400 dozen per day, 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 Sarsapara." One In par.
ticuar started short time ago in New York. is called
"Old Doctor Jacob Townsends sarsaparilla" and ap.

usual remedies resored TO in such efforts appropr
ate the name OF Dr. S. P. Townsend'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. S p.
Townsend, formerly of this city, as is well known
here is the inventor and original proprietor Of the
medicine known "Dr Townsend's Sarsaparillas >
and we think those persons who attempting to sell
their article as the genuine, should be exposed

DR. TowNsENp's extraordinary adj ertsemcnt which

less than four hundred dozen of Sarsaparlla per

that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done.

Druggists and others that sell sarsaparilla for the

that is not signed by 8. P. Townsend, commits fraud
and swindles the customers. Men that would be

that ours is the only genuine.
