al years s driving immense business He receives
less than four hundred dozen of Ssrsapailla per

edition Of Almsnacs for lS49 cost $4,000 and he
has paid the New York SUN for s1vertising in the

that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done.
THIS medicine is exported to the CanadRs, West In
dies, South America and Europe in considerable
quantities. and is coming into general use in those
countries as we'll as here.
SwIndlers.
Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparills for the
genuine and original Dr. Townsends Sarsaparills,
that is not signed by S p Townsend commits fraud,
and swindies the customers. Men that would be
guilty Of such act would commit any other fraud
-ani no Druggist OF common intelligence but knows
that ouIs as the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend. -
Some people who not well informed and have
not read the papers and not seen adveItseTents
have been led to suppose that because these sd
vertise their stuff Old Jacob Townsends that il

False Reports.
Our opponents have published in the papers, that
DR. s. p Townsend was dead. This they send to their
