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
death, proclaimed its wonderful
HEALING POWER.
This GRAND AND UNQUALIFIED PREP

Unlike young S. p. Townsend's, it improves

uiacture Of the Old Dr's Sarsaparilla. The sar-
saparilla root, it is well known to medical men,
contains many medicinal properties, and some
properties which are inert or useless and others,
which if retained IN preparing 1t for use, produce
fermentation and actd, which is injurious to the
system. Some of the properties Of sarsaparilla
are SO coldtile that they entirely evaporate and
are lost in the preparation, if they are not pre-
served by scientific process, known only TO those
experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
polatle principles, which fly off in vapor, or as
an exhaIatiou, under heat, are the very essential
medical properties Of the root, which give to it
all its value.
ANY person can boil or stew the root till they
get dark colored liquid, which is more from tho
colorng matter in the root than from anything
else; the, can then strain this insip id or vapd Ii
quid, swoeten with sour molasses, and then call
it Observation-Disclosures or SYRUP"
But such is not the article known as the

SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared that all the inc properties
of the sarsaparilla 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
irated form; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any Of its valuable and healing properties.
Prepared in this way, it is made the most power
full agent in the
Cure of innumerable Diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commentators
on every side by men, women, and children
We find it doing wonders in the cure of

TRICKS OF QUACKS.
LErEvERYBoDY READ THIS CAREFULLY.
There is a sarsaparilla for sale in the different
owns called S. p. Townsend's sarsaparilla. 1t
s advertised as the ORIGINAL, GENUINE,
and all that. This Townsend is no doctor and
never was; but was formerly worker on rail-
.oads, canals, and the like-yet he assumes the
title Of Doctor for the purpose Of gaining credit
or what he is not. He says 'he has attended
wo medical schools, and practiced for fifteen
years!'' Now the truth is, he never practiced
medicine a day in his life Such ,oiyuf, wicked
looks bad to the character and
seracity of the man. wish most sincerely, he
mad never made those statements Of himself or Of
ne. When will men learn to be honest and truth
u in all their dealings and intercourse with their
fellow men, He applied to one Ruel Clapp to as
list him in manufacturing his mixture, stating the
arge sums he would make, as an inducement to
embark in the business. These men have been
insulting and libellng me in all possible forms, in
,rder TO impress the public with the belief that
he Old Doctors Sarsaparilla was not the genuine
,riginGl SaTsapariiia, made from the old Doc
or's Original Recipe This S. p Townsend
ays have sold the use Of my name for 81 a
week. / will give him $500 if he will produce
me solitary proof OF this. His statements OF
Thompson, SKiman & Co.. are nothing but It's
Tue of falsehoods, simply made to deceive the
public, and Keep the truth down in regard to his
During, Jermenting compound. This is to eau
ion the public TO purchase none but Old DR.. JA-
Lob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, having on it the
Did Doctors likeness, his family Coat Of Arms,

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
,ists of New YORK, Brooklyn and Wilamsburgh,
having seen an advertisement addressed to us and
,lhers who sell Sarsaparila by S. P. Townsend,
which is calculated to bring US and our business
INTO reproach, feel called upon to state our per-
,onal views of the real merits of the two Town
sends sarsaparilla. OF the claims preferred by
he parties to the original Sarsaparilla we have
nothing to do, and leave them to settle the matter
themselves. But since we are called "swind-
ers,'' and branded with the declaration of being
willing "to commit any fraud for money and as
