Old Doctor Jacob Townsend,
THE ORIGINAL DIscovERER or THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA.
| THERE AREA CLASS OF sPECULAToRs
who being both ignorant and unprincipled,
seize upon anything by which they can delude
the public and fill their own pockets The |
great Sarsaparilla root as a 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. 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 a
deceived public.
One of these Handbags,
Which has had more extensive sale than most,
has just e,pioded. We refer to that notorious
| sour fermenting compound of s Townsend's
He has been compelled to quit the business and his
article is now thrown into the market at any
price TO get rid of it,
if any desires proof Of this we only ask them
to step into any wholesale drug store and en-
quire for S. p. Townsend's Sarsaparila The
day for creating a reputation for medicine by
passed, and it is only those of real tcorth which
can stand the test of time.
Whilst this is the fate of most of the Sarsa
parilla Extracts, .H
Old Dr.. Jaco5 Tomnsends
Has gradually grown into favor with the pub
lie, and the sales have never been so large us at
the present time To meet with the demand
from the West the proprietors have been COM
PEELED TO open Branch office in this city, and

We ask only One Trial.
The person who purchases bottle Of this
, Sarsaparilla finds that he has honey syrup,
prepared by a scientific man-in the manufac-
, tue of which the highest knowledge of chem
istry and the latest discoveries of the arts, have
all been brought into requisition.
PREPARED in this way it is made the most
powerful agent in the
Cure FIR MnumeruHe Diseases
A nd the reason why we hear concentrations
upon every side, from men, women and children.
If you have used ten, fifteen twenty bot
ties of Sarsaparilla, made by S p. Townsend
and others, and found 10 relief and even injury
draw not the unreasonable and unjust conclu-
sion that the
Genuine SMrsapgilIa,
Prepared by Old DR. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or a similar article.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
y We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
: gists of New York, Brooklyn and Williams
= burg, having seen an advertisement addressed
y to us and others who sell Sarsaparlla by S. p
Townsend. which Is calculated to bring us and
our business into reproach. feel called upon IL
state our personal views of the real merits o
the two Townsend Sarsaparilla Ofthe claims
preferred by the parties to the original Sarsa
parilla we have nothing to do, and leave then
IL to settle that matter between themselves. Blu
> since are called "swindlers,' and branded
- with the declaration of being willing ''to com
3 nit any fraud for money" and as ''mcn having
le no honor and should not be trusted" We fee
'e that We ought to give the reason why we prefer
III to sell Old DR.. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparill;
{, to Mr. s. p. Townsend's, and leave the public
81 to Judge whether "deceivers and swim
J dlers, and not to be trusted by SO doing.
First,
y, our experience and observation have satisfied
u us that the Old Doctors Sarsaparilla possesse
more medical power and virtue than s, z
Townsend's, and the testimony of the publ
h would seem TO be the same, and we Away
l. make it matter of conscience and duty whel
u two articles bearing the name and pur
| porting to cure the same disease are i'll marka
n to state that which We consider the best.

~ the Old Doctors preparation. We do not fee
:! ourselves called upon to decide the true merit
u of either article as standard preparations, bu
- when asked by our customers for our opinion
e e which We believe under all circumstances to b
Il !, the best we should not hesitate in giving on
u preference in favor of Old Dr. jacob Town

u to decide if we are not iu>ttie" in giving tn
w Old Doctors preparation that preference whic
it seems to deserve as medicinal COMPOUND
as well as the choice of the people SO unive
