The person wh0sl''peI!'sR5s a bottle of this
Sarsaparila finds that he has a honey syrup,
prepared by scientific man--in the manufac-
ture of which the highest knowledge of chem
istry and the latest discoveries of the arts, have
all been brought into requisition
Preparcd in this way it is made the most
powerful agent in the
Cure for Mnumeruble 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 unj Just conclu-
sion that the
Genuine .Sarsapa,Ha,
Prepared by Old DR. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or similar article.
Go to headquarters
And we will ,rarraRfyou will derive more ben
eft from one bottle of this
Pure, Concenhuted and Unadmfeyutcd
Article,
Than from all the others which YOU have used
The proprietors of this Sarsaparilla having
been compelled by the unparalleled success
which has attended the sales in "The West"
to open branch office in Cincinnati, Ohio, that
their customers may be promptly supplied de-
sire that the public should Distinctly under
stand that they are not connected in any way
with the manufacture of an article known as
s. =. Iownscnd's SarsdpnilM.
We could gain no credit or advantage, moth
ing but loss, indignation and wrath; from dis
appointed agents and purchasers by being
IDENTIFIED with him or his peculiar produc-
tons.
That 1t mag be KnoUn
What is thought of the true article in New
York, where both are manufactured, we invite
the attention of Dealers, and Consumers to the
following Card of the first Retail Druggists in
that City. 1t is doubly valuable coming from
this source-for it is only the retail dealers who
become acquainted with the character of med
icine.
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, whsch is calculated to bring us and
our business into reproach, feel called upon to
state our personal views of the real merits of
the two Townsend's Sarsaparilla Ofthe claims
| preferred by the parties to the original Sarsa-
parilla We have nothing to do, and leave them
to settle that matter between themselves. But
since we are called "swindlers," and branded
with the declaration of being willing ''to COM
nit any fraud for money and as "men having
no honor, and should not be trusted we feel
that we ought to give the reason why we prefer
| to Mr.. 5. p. Townsend's, and leave the public
| to judge whether We are "deceivers and swim
dlers,' and not to be trusted by SO doing.
First,
our experience and observation have satisfied
Us that the Old Doctors Sarsaparilla possesses
more medical power and virtue than s, p.
Townsend's, and the testimony of the public
would seem TO be the same, and we always
isake it matter of conscience and duty when
! - gttnIa l-,Y H.. /
| porting to cure the same disease are in market
to state that which we consider the best.
The Fuct
! that S P Townsend's Sarsaparila has greatly
| soured, fermented and exploded the bottles,
thereby giving great dissatisfaction to our Gus
tomors, has influenced us in oar preference of
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 We believe under all circum stances to be
the best we should not hesitate in giving our
/ preference in favor of Old DR. Jacob Town
sends. With these views we leave the public
to decide if we are not justified in giving the
| Old Doctors preparation that preference which
it seems to deserve as a medicinal compound,
as well as the choice of the people so univer-
sally manifested in its favor
| We have given the names of
Sirty Druggists,
among whom are
Sirteen educoted Physicians
all disinterested persons, and who of all the
world besides are best qualified to Judge of the
merits of a medicine and who,
Meier hagc and nere, ,riW
recommend any article unless they prove it to
be good, now
lo1'sntarily gire
| their testimony iaSayor OF Old DR.. Jacobs Sar-
saparilla We now leave it with discerning
publ:o 10 choose for themselves.
Be sure and call for Old DR.. Jacob Town
sends Sarsaparilla.
