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

THERE ARE A CLASS OF SPECTATORS
/ 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 cure for all forms
of diseases, has induced many of these men TO
to attempt to palm off some compound which
they label as an extract of the pure Honduras
Sarsaparilla. 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 a
deceived public.
One of these Hymbngs,
Which has had a more extensive sale than most
has Just e1ploded We refer to that notorious
sour fermenting compound of s p. Townsend's
He has been compelled to quit The business and his
article is now thrown into the market at any
price to get rid of it.
If any desires proof of this we only ask them
to step into any wholesale drug store and Ell
quire for s p. Townsends Sarsaparila. The
day for creating a reputation for medicine by
newspaper putting and forged certificates, IS
passed, and it is only those Of real north which
can stand the test of time.
Whilst this Is the fate of most of the Sarsa-
parilla Extracts,
Old Dr.. Jacob Io,cnsends
Has gradually grown into favor with the pub
lie, and the sales have never been so large is at

md the reason why we hear Communications
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 unjust concu-
sion that the
Genuine SarsapuyiNo,
Prepared by Old DR.. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or a similar article.

CARD TO THE PTTRIJC
We. the undersigned. physicians and drue-
gists of New York, BROOKLYN and WiIliams
burg. having seen an advertisement addressed
TO us and others who sell Sarsaparilla by s p
Townsend which is calculated to bring rs and
our business into reproach, feel called upon to
state our personal views of the real merits of
the two Townsend's SarsapariIla. Oftbe claims
preferred by the parties to the original Sarsa
parila we have nothing to do, and leave them
to settle that matter between themselves. But
with the declaration of being willing "to com
nit any fraud for money and as 'nen having
no honor, and should not be trusted we feel
that we ought to give the reason whv we prefer
to sell old 4 DR., Jacob TownSend's sarsaparilla
to Mr. 5. r. Townscnds, and leave the public
