Sarsaparilla finds that he has Assey syrup,
prepared by scientific man-in the manufac-
ture Of which the highest knowledge Of chem
stry, and the latest discoveries Of the arts, have
all been brought into reqnisition.
PreDared in this way it is made the most
powerful agent in the
Cure for Innun,c7uble Diseases.
And the reason why we hear concentrations
upon every side, from men, women and children
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 Sarsapayua,
Prepared by Old DR. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or a similar article.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC. .
We, the undersi gned. physicians and drug
gists of New York, Brooklyn and Williams
burg, having seen an advertisement addressed
to us and others who sell Sarsaparila by s.
Townsend which il calculated to bring us and
our business into reproach, feel called upon to
state our personal views of the real merits of
thetwo Townsend's Sarsaparlla. Ofthe 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
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 Townscnd's Sarsaparilla
to Mr.. s. p. 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 always
make 1t Il matter of conscience and duty when
two articles bearing the same name and pur-
porting to cure the same disease are in market
to state that which we consider the best.
The Fact
that s. P Townsend's Sarsaparilla has greatly
soured, fermcuted and exploded the bottles
thereby giving great dissati- fact ion to our Gus
toners, has influenced us in our preference of
the Old Doctors preparation. We do not feel
ourselves called upon to decide the true merits
OF either articl" as standard preparations, but
when asked by our customers for our opinions
which we believe under all circumstances to be
the best we should not hesitate in giving our
preference in favor of Old DIR. Jacob Town.
sends With these views we leave the public
to decide if we are not justified in giving the
1t 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
SIXTY Druggists,
among whom are
Si.rtcen educated Physicians
all disinterested persons, and who Of all the
world besides are best qualified to Judge Of the
merits Of medicine and who,
