Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people no not we'll informed and have
net read the papers, and not advertsePents
have been led to suppose that because these ad-
ise their stuff as " Old Jacob Townsends" that II
rGust of course be the original II is less than one
.ear since they commenced 10 make their medicine
Guns has been in the market over ten years.
This Old Jacob Townsend
They enGeavonng 10 palm Of the public as
az old Physician SC lie is not regular educated
Physician, and never attempted to manufacture med
iciBe, until these hired him for the use of his
name. They say they do not wish the people to be-
beve that their Sars9psrilla ours or the same-but
the better TO deceive the public they at the same time
assert that theirs is the Old DR. Townsend's and the
original and endeayor TO make tie people believe
tIat she stud they manufacture is the Dr. Townsends
sarsaPeriia. that has performed many wonderful
cures for the past ten years, and which has gained
reputation which no other medicine enjoyed
winch Is base vllloinous, unpfinciped falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages We wish to be understood that the old man
Is no relation TO Dr. Townsend whatever In their ad
vertsements and circulars they publish number Of
gross faisehoods respecting Dr.. Townsend which we
NJ al not notice.
False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers that
DIR. P. Townsend dead. This they send to their
agents about the country, who report that we have
given up business, SC. &c. The public should be on
their guard and not be deceived by these unprinci
pied men.
