Old Doctor Jacob Townsend,
THE ORIGINAL DIsCOvERER OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA

THE ORIGINAL pIscovERER OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA.
THERE ARE A CLASS OF SPECTATORS
i who being both ignorant and unprincipled,
seize upon anything by which they can delude
the public and fill their own pockets. The
great Sarsaparlla root as cure for all forms
Of diseases, has induced many of these men to
to attempt to palm off some compound which
then label as an extract of the pure Honduras
The country has been flooded
with these compounds, and many have been in |
duced to purchase them, but the only result has
been cruel disappointment. A thin, washy |
mess of stuff, cooked up without any regard to
the effect upon the patient, can but bring down
upon the manufacturers the condemnation OF
deceived public.
One of these Humbugs,
Which has had more extensive sale than most,
has lust erploded. We refer to that notorious
sour fermentihg compound of s p. Townscnd's. |
Hehas been compelled to quit the business, and his
article is now thrown into the market at any
price to get rid of it. ..s...,. ....-,- .--.-
If any desires proof of this We only ask them
to step into any wholesale drug store and en-
qure for S. p Townsend's Sarsaparilla. The
day for creating a reputation for medicine by
newspaper putting and forged certificates, is
passed. and it is only those Of real icorth which
can stand the test Of time.
Whilst this is the fate of most of the Sarsa-
parilla Extracts,
On Dr. .Lnrob TDunscnds
Has gradually grown into favor with the pub
lie, and the sales have never been so large as 1t

| 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
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 sell Old DR., Jacob Townsend's sarsaparilla
