draw not the unreasonable and unjust conclu-

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
We the Undersigned ply sicians 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 Sarsaparila 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
init any fraud for money" and as s'men having
no honor, and should not be trusted" we feel
that we ought to give the reason why we prefer
to sell Old DR., Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla
to MIR. 5. 7. 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 aud virtue than S, p.
lownsend's, and the testimony of the public
would seem TO be the same, and we always
make 1t a matter of conscience and duty when
two articles bearing the same name and pur-
porting to cure the same disease are in market
to state that which We consider the best.
The Fact .rr
that s. Townsend's Sarsaparilla has greatly
soured femented and exploded the bottles,
thereby giving great dissati- faction to our Gus
toners. has influenced us in our 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 bclieve under all circumstances 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 medicinal compound
as well as the choice of the people SO uniyer-
sally manifested in it's favor
