Old Doctor jacob Townsend,
THE ORIGINAL DIscovEEER OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA.
THERE ARE A CLASS OF SPECULATORs
l. who being both ignorant and unprinciplcd
seize upon anything by which they can delude
the public and fill their own pockets. The
great Sarsaparilla root as cure for all forms
OF diseases, has induced many of these men TO
to attempt to palm off some compound which
they label as an extract of the pure Honduras
Sarsaparilla, The country has been flooded
with these compounds, and many have been in
duced to purchase them but the only result has
been cruel disappointment. A thin, washy
mess of stuff cooked up without any regard to
the effect upon the patient, can but bring down
upon the manufacturers the condemnation of n
deceived public.

Which has had more extensive sale than most
has just exploded. We refer to that notorious
sour fermentng compound of S p. Townsend's.
Hehas been compelled to quit the business. and his
article is now thrown into the market at any
price to get rid of it. -.= III III

preferred by the parties to the original Sarsa-

since We are called ''swindlers,' and branded
With the declaration of being willing sto COM

more medical power and virtue than S, p.

would seem 10 be the same, and we always
make it Il matter of conscience and dUtv when
wo articles bearing the same name and pur-
'orting to cure the same disease are in market

The Fact
hat S. p Townsend's Sarsapayilla has greatly
CURED, fermcnted and exploded the bottles,
hereby giving great dissati- fact ion to our Gus
omcrs, has Influenced us in our preference of
he Old Doctors preparation. We do not feel
ourselves called upon to decide the true merits
# either article as standard preparations, but
when asked by our customers for our opinions
which webelieve under all circumstances to be
he best we should not hesitate in giving our
reference in favor of Old DR.. Jacob Town

o decide if we are not justified in giving the
Did Doctors preparation that preference which
t seems to deserve as medicinal compound,
IS well as the choice Of the people so univer
ally manifested in its favor.
