Druggists and others that sell sarsaparila for the
genuine and original Dr. Tow nsend's Sarsapsrilis,
that is not signed by S. p Townsend commits fraud
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
gailty of such act would commit any other fraud

Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who not well informed, and have
moi read the papers, and not seen our advertisements
have been led to suppose that because these men sd
relfise their stuT as Old Jacob Townsends that IT
must OF course be the original II Is less than one
-sear since they commenced to make their medicine.

Physician and attempted 20 manufacture med
icine. until these men hired him for tie use Of his

Sarapafila, that has performed many wonderful

repuiation which no other medicine ever enjoyed

We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish 10 be understood that the old man
IS no relation 20 DR. Townsend whatever In their ed
Scftisements and circulars they publish number of
gross islsehOods respecting Dr. Townsend, which we
Viii not notice.
False Reports.
Our opponents have Published in the papers, that
Or. 8 r. Townsend was dead This they send TO their
AGENTS about the country, who report that we have
gigen up business sc. &c The public should be on
tAeir guard, and not be deceived by these unPrnci
pied men.
