The person who purchases a bottle of this
SarSaparilla finds that he has Il honey syrup,
prepared by Il scientific man--n the manufac-
ture of which the highest knowledge of chem
istry, and the latest discoveries of the arts have
all been brought into requisition
Prepared in this way it is made the most
powerful agent in the
Cure for InnumcraHc Diseases.
And the reason why we hear commentators
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 conclu-
sion that the
Genuine SarsoparH1a,
Prepared by Old DR.. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or a similar article.

What is thought of the true article in New

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
gists of New York, Brooklyn and Williams
burg, having seen an advertisement addressed
to US aud 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
the two Townsend's Sarsaparlla. Ofthe claims
preferred by the parties to the original Sarsa-
parlla we have nothing to do, and leave them
to settle that matter between themselves. But
since we are called ''swndlers," and branded
with the declaration of being willng''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 Townsends Sarsaparilla
TO MIR. S. ?. 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 and virtue than s, p
| Townsend's, and the testimony of the public
would seem TO be the same and we Away.
make il a matter of conscience and duty wher
two articles bearing the same name and pur
porting to cure the same disease are in marke
to state that which we consider the best.
The Fact
that S. p. TOwnsend's Sarsaparilla has greatly
soured, fermented and exploded the bottles
/ thereby giving great dissatisfaction to our Gus
toners, has influenced US in our preference o
the Old Doctors preparation. We do not fee
ourselves called upon to decide the true merit
of either article as standard preparations, bu
! when asked by our customers for our opinion
! which webelieve under all circumstances to b
the best we should not hesitate in giving ou
preference in favor of Old DIR. Jacob Town
sends. With these views we leave the publ
to decide if we are not justified in giving tn
Old Doctors preparation that preference whic
| it seems to deserve as a medicinal compound
as well as the choice of the people SO unlver
