Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who are not well informed and have
not read the papers, and not advertisements
have been led 10 suppose that because these men adj
rertse their stuff Old Jacob Townse nds that II
must OF course, be the original 1t is less than one
Ours las been IN the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend
Ihey are endeavoring TO palm off on the public as
ar ar GA Fhyslclan, &c He is not regular educated
ihysician, and never attempted TO manufacture med
lcine unul these men hired him for the use of his
name They say they do not wish the people TO be.
@ at tneir seIsaparliia IS ours or the same-but
tAe better TO deceive the public they at the same time
assert that theirs is the Old DR. Townsendis and he
org nsI and endeavor to make the people believe
That .he stuff they manufacture is the Dr ornsend,e
SarSaparilla that has performed so many wonderful
cures lor the past ten years and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine ever enoyed-
winch is base, villainous, unprineipled falsehood
We nave commenced suits against these men for
oalnages We wish to be understood That the old man
as 10 relation 10 Dr.. Townsend whatever In their ad
NeitSements and circulars, they publish number of
ross ialsohoods respecting DIR. Townsend which we
viii not notice.
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in The papers thai
DR.. T. Townsend was dead. This they send to their
agents about the country, who report that have
given up business, &c. &c. The public should be on
heir guard, and not be deceived by these unprnci
pied men.
