The person who purchases q bottle Of this
Sarsaparilla finds that he has honey syrup,
prepared by scientific MANN 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 MaumcruHc Diseases.
And 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 Sarsaparila, made by S p Townsend
and others, and found no relief and even injury
draw not the unreasonable and unjust conelu
sion that the
Genuine SarSapariNa,
Prepared by Old Dr. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or a similar article.

The proprietors of this Sarsaparilla having

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
We, the undersigned, physicians and drug
gists of New York, Brookiy and Williams
burg having seen an advert cement addressed
to us aud others who sell SarsapariIIa by s. P
Townsend which Is calculated to bring us and
our business into reprGach feel called upon to
state our personal views of the real merits of
thetwo Townsend Sarsaparila. Ofthe claims
preferred by the parties to the original Sarsa-
parllla we have nothing to do. and leave them
to settle that matter between them selves. But
since We ale called "swindlers," and branded
with the declaration of being willing ''to com
nit any fraud for money" and as ''men having
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
oilers, 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 a 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 Townsend's SarsapariIa has greatly
soured, fermented and exploded the bottles,
thereby giving great dissati faction to our Gus
toners, has influenced US in preference of
the Old Doctors preparation. We do not feel
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 be
the best we should not hesitate in giving our
preference in favor of Old DR.. Jacob Town
sends With these views we leave the public
to decide if we are not justified in giving the
Old Doctors preparation that preference which
it seems to deserve as medicinal compound,
as well as the choice of the people SO univer-
sally manifested in its favor.
We have given the names Of
Si.rty Druggists,
among whom are
Sirteen educated PHYSICIANS
all disinterested persons, and who of all the
world besides are best qualified to Judge Of the
merits Of medicine and who. 81. ~
