ppnNEU PENOEIlI
Here is proof conclusive that Dr. S. P Townsend's
saisapsrllla is the original The following is from
Avine oi the most respectable papers IN this State
FROM THE
New York Daily Tribune.
bT- We published an advertisement inadvertently
lime since that did injustice to Dr. S. P Town
scna who is the original proprietor Of the preparation
of sarsparilla known as Dr. Townsend's Other
parties have within the past few months engaged or
connected themselves with by the name of
Tow nsend who put medicine and calls il by the
same name This medicine was advertised in The
Iritune as the original &c This advertisement also
contained matter derogatory to the character OF DR.
: p Townsend and that of his medicine. We regret
it appeared, and in justice to the Dr.. make this cx-
Glanaton.
New York Daily sun.
DE- TowNsEND's extraordinary advertisement, which
occupies entire page of the SuN, i'll not escape
notice. Dr. s p Townsend. who is the original pro
prictor Of DR.. Townsend's Sarsaparis and whose Of
hee IS next door TO ours where he has been for sever
al wears, driving immense business He receives
less than four hundred dozen OF Sarsaparla per
day and this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine gained great
popularity his preparation of the Sarsa apara His
edition OF Almanacs for 1919 cost $4,000, and he
has paid the New York SuN for advertising, in the
last four years, $4,000, and he acknowledges
that is the cheapest advertising he has had done
This medicine is exported to the Csnadss, West In
dies, South America and Europe IN considerable
qusitities and is coming into general use in those
countries, as well as here.
SuindIers.
Druggists and others that sell Sarssparills for the
lie
that is not signed by S. p Townsend commits fraud
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
-and no Druggist Of common intelligence but knows
that is the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who are not well informed, and have
resd the papers and not advertisements,
lave been led to suppose that because these ad
vertise their stuff as Old Jacob Townsends" that il
year since they commenced TO make their medicine
Guns has been in the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend.
They are endesyoring to palm of on the public as
an old Physician &c. He is not regular educated
Physician and never attempted to manufacture med
icine, until these hired him for the of his
name They say they do not wish the people to be
leve that their Sarsaparila is ours the samebut
the better to deceive the public they the tine
assert that theirs is the Old Dr. Townsends and tie
@ he stun hey ss the BE-
SaTsapsrills, that has performed many wonderful
cures for the past ten years and which has gained
which is base, yilisinous, unprincipled alsehood
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish to be understood that the old man
relation to DR. Townsend whatever In their ad-
yertisemens and circulars, they publish a number of
gross ialsehoods respecting DR.. Townsend, which
will not notice.
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers, that
DR. S r. 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
their guard and not be deceived by these unprinci
pied men
