istry and the latest discoveries of the arts, have
all been brought into requistion.

powerful agent in the
Cure for Innumeruble Diseases.
And the reason why we hear commentators
upon every side, from men, women and children.
If you have used ten, fifteen or twenty bot
ties of Sarsaparilla, made by S. P. Townsend
and others, and found no relief and even injury
draw not the unreasonable and unjust conclu-
sion that the
Genuine Sa,a,payHn,
Prepared by Old DR. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or similar article.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
gists of New York, Brooklyn and Williams
burg, having seen an advertisement addressed
to us and others who sell Sarsaparilla by S. p.
Townsend which is calculated to bring us and
our business into reproach, feel called upon to
state our personal views of the real merits of
thetwo Townsend's Sarsaparilla. Ofthe claims
preferred by thetParties to the original Sarsa-
parlla we have nothing to do, and leave them
to settle that matter between themselves. But
since we are called "swindlers, IND branded
with the declaration of being will ag ..to COM
init any fraud for money" and as hen having
no honor, and shouldnot be trusd& 1--WE feel
that we ought to givethe reason wli4sMe prefer
to sell Old DIR, Jacob Townsehds afeapasilla
to Mr.. S. p Townsend's, and leave ffelk Mic
to Judge whether we are 'deceivarss SaI{k IN h.

The Fact
that S. p. Townscud's SarsapaEin has greatly
soured, fcrmcntcd and exploded the bottles,
thereby giving great dissati, faction to oar Gus

the Old Doctors preparation. We do not feel
ourselves called upon to decide the true merits
of either article as standard preparations, but
when asked by our customers for our opinions
which webelieve under all circums tances to be
the best we should not hesitate in giving our
preference in favor Of Old DR.. Jacob Town.
