The Original Discoocrer Of the Genuine
TOWNSEND'S SASAPARILLn.I

THERE are class of spectators who being both
i ignorant and unprncpled, seize upon anything
by which they delude the public and fill their
own pockets. The great Sarsaparia root
cure for all forms Of disease, has induced many of
these men to attempt to palm of some compound
which faeg label extract ST the pure Honduras
Sars aparilla. The country has been flooded with
these compounds, and many have been induced to
purchase them, but the only result has been cruel
disappointment. A thin, washy mess of stud, cook
ed up without any regard to the effect upon the pa
tient, can but bring down upon the manufacturers
the condemnation Of a deceived public.
ONE OF THESE HU.NBUGS,
Which has had more extensive sale than most has
uss exploded. We refer to that notorious fer
menting compound OF 8. r. Townsends. He has
been compcedto quit the business, and his article is
now thrown INTO the market at any price to get rid
of IL.
II any desires proofof this we only ask them to
step into any wholesals drug store and enquire for
3. p. Townsend's sarsaparla. The day for creating
reputation for medicine by newspaper putting
ami forged certificates, passed. and il is only those
of real ,corih which can stand the test of time.

Kelsey's Alternating Bee Hive.
Patented Man OH. la46.

LIVERY family should be in possession oi
" these hives; the only hive ever constructed
wherein success is certain in cultivating bees
and obtaining a rich reward of honey for a little
trouble. Over 90. 900 bee culturists have them
now in uso, and every one that has adhered to
the directions which accompany the hive, never
have failed Of success; the hive can be placed
in small yards in towns and even be PLACED in
the windows Of houses and the bees can work
just as well as il they were in an open field,
the alternating principles OF these hives are
such that honey can be taken away without
disturbing the bees. The young swarm can be
taken away with their nursing bees and placed
in the centre of new hives which prevents that
much dreaded trouble of swarming in the old
way; swarms can be wintered on s or 8 lbs Of
honey as well as 30 or 40 lbs of honey in the old
way. The Bee-inoth and other insects are pre-
vented from disturbing the swarms, the exami-
nation Of these hives at once will convince any
man Of experience in the culture Of bees, that
they are the very ones that have been needed
for years, as they work with the nature Of the
bee.
j. s. NEGBY, having purchased the right OF
johnson county, is prepared to furnish all who
shall want an article Of this kind. A model Of
I the hive can be seen at Swans Hotel.
