t9.1 Who being b& h ignorant and unprincipled,
| seixe uY0& anything BY which they can delude
the public and ill their own pockets. The
/ ennf 6aFssparifH root . euro for all forms
HIS 4duced many of these men to
Af,Qf some compound which
I tkej jet Of the pure Honduras
SarsspaFl1l Country has bssn flooded
with these con- binds, and many hare been in
duced to purchast them, but the only result has
been cruel disappointment a thin, washy
mess Of stuff, cooled up without any regatd to
the effect upon TIL patient, can but bring down
upon the manufacturers the condemnation Of q
deceived public.
One Of These Hum5ugs,
| Which has had more extensive sale than most
has just erploded We refer to that notorious
sour fcrmenting compound of S p. Townsend's
Uehds 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 en-
quirc for s. p. Townsends Sarsaparila The
day for creating reputation for medicine by
newspaper putting and forged certificates, is
passed, and it is only those Of real ,cort which
can stand the test of time.
Whilst this is the fate of most of the Sarsa-
parilla Extracts,
Old DR.. .Jacob Townsends
Has gradually grown into favor with the pub
lie, and the sales have never been so large as at
the present time. To meet with the demand
from the West the proprietors have been COM
PEELED to open a Branch office in this city, and
appoint General Agent to facilitate their bus
mess transactions.

4 The person who purchases bottle of this
Sarsaparlla 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.
/ PreDarsd in this way it is made the most
powerful agent in the
!, Cure for Innumc,u6lc 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 SarsapariMa,
Prepared by Old DR.. Jacob Townsend, is also
worthless, or a similar article

And We will warrantyou will derive more ben
eft from one bottle Of this .-
Pure, Concentrated and UnaRMtcra,cd
Article,
Than from all the others which you have used.
The proprietors of this Sarsaparlla having
been compelled by the unparalleled success
which has attended the sales in "Thc West, -
to open branch office in Cincinnati, Ohio, that
their customers may be promptly supplied de-
sire that the public should distincly under
stand that they are not connected in any way
with the manufacture of an article known as
5. L. Io,cnScnd's SarSaparHa.
! We could gain no credit or advantage, moth.
ing but loss, indignation and wrath; from dis
appointed agents and purchasers by being
Il IDENTIFIED with him or his peculiar produc.
tons.
! That 1t may be Kno,cn
What is thought of the true article i'm New
York, where both are manufactured we invite
the attention of Dealers and Consumers to the
following Card of the first Retail Druggists in
that City 1t is doubly valuable coming from
this source-for it is only the retail dealers who
become acquainted with the character of a med.

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 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
the two Townsends 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 themselves But
since We are called "swindlers," and branded
| loci Of hn,
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 Townsend'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.
b.. First,
our experience and observation have satisfied
us that the Old Doctors SarsaparlIa possesses
more medical power and virtue than S, p.
Townscnd's, and the testimony of the public
would seem TO be the same and we ALWAYS
make 1t 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 5. = Townsend's Sarsararilla has greatly
soured, fermented and exploded the bottles
thereby giving great dissati >faction 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 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
| 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
Sirty Druggists,
| among whom are
Sirteen educated Physicians
all disnterested persons, and who of all the
world besides are best qualified to Judge of the
merits Of a medicine and who,
