CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
gists of New York, Brooklyn and Williams
to 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
etwo 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 Townsends Sarsaparilla
| to Mr. S. p Townsend's, and leave the public
| to Judge whether We are "deceivers and swim
| oilers" and not to be trusted by SO doing.
..a.s..... 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 always
make it a matter of conscience and duty when
| 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.
| t..-...- 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 preference o.
the Old Doctors preparation. We do not fee
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 believe under all circumstances to b.
the best We should not hesitate in giving oul
preference in favor of Old Dr. Jacob Town
| senu Win IncSe views we leave tne punk
to decide if we are not justified in giving thu
Old Doctors preparation that preference which
it seems to deserve as a medicinal compound
as well as the choice of the people SO univer
sally manifested in its favor
We have given the names of
Sirty Druggists,
among whom are
Sixteen educated Physicians
all disinterested persons, and who of all tn,
world besides are best qualified to Judge of tn
merits Of a medicine and who,
Never haze and neucr acW

Voluntarily giUc
their testimony in favor Of Old DR.. Jacobs Sar

public TO choose for themselves.
