City and County of XewYork, as-
William Armstrong, of the said City, being duly
sworn, doth denose and say that he is a practical
Druggist and Chemist. That some time in the latter
. part of May, or first of June, 1848, a man by the name
of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and
pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house
of Mr. Thompson, No. 42 Hudson-street, w here depo.
nent boarded, and requested deponent to write him a
recipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Deponent further says, that he" became acquainted
with said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster,
Ksn., Book Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt. That said Townsend had had frequent conversa
tions with deponent respecting the manufacture of an
article of Sarsaparilla to he sold under the name of Dr
Jacob Townsend.
That said Townsend staled he was an old man. and
poor, and was not fit for hard labor—and wished to
make some money, in order to live easy in his old
day s, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town*
•end sold so well, ana so much money was made by
it, he could see no reason why he might not make
something out of it too. (his name being Townsend.)
If he could get a capable person to prepare a recipe,
and manufacture it tor him. Deponent in one of the
conversations asked said Townsend if he was related
to Dr. 8. F- Townsend, to w hich lie replied, that he
knew Dr. S. P. Townsend would be down on him after
he should commence But that he did not care for'
him. as he had formed a co-partnership with men who
could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was
well prepared to defend himself against any attack
that might be made on him.
Deponent further says, that pursuant to the request
of said Jacob Townsend, he wrote a recipe for the
manufacture of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, and gave it to
him. Said Townsend observed that he wanted to
makp a specimen to exhibit to his partners for their
approval, as he wished to gratify them in every thing,
as they furnished all the capital—said Townsend also
told deponent that the bottles they were to u*o were
to be of the same size and shape as Dr. S P. Town
•end's, and deponent, at the request ol' said Jacob
Townsend, went to the office of Dr. S. i\ Tow n end,
and procured one of his labels.
And deponent further says, that he has been inform
ed. and verily believes the Syrup of Sarsaparilla, sold
a* Old Jacob Townsend’s, is made alter the recipe fur
nislied by deponent, to Jacob Tow nsend, as aloresai l

Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.
There probably never has been sopopulara remedy,
or patent medicine, as Dr. Tow nsends'* Sarsaparilla,
which was originally, and continues to be ninnulac.
tured in this city, at first by the Doctor himself, and
afterwards for several years and to the present time,
by Clapp At Townsend, the present proprietors. Since
the partnership was formed, the Doctor has resided in
New Yoik, w here he keeps a store, and attends to the
business that accumulates at that point. The manu
factory is in this city, and is conducted In the junior
partner, .Mr. C'lApp—here all the medicine'is manuljc
tured.
Few of cur citizens have any idea of the amount of
this medicine that is manufactured and sold. Besides
the sales in this country, it is shipped to the Canada';,
AVest India Islands, South America, and even to l.io
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ a steam engine, besides a large number
of men, women and girls, in the prepaimion of the
medicine, making boxes, printing, tic, and turn out,
ready for shipment, over 400 dozen per dar, or nearly
6000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity.
The great sale the medirine has acquired, has in.
dneed a numberof men to get up imitati ms, u: , | there
is at the present time, other medicines for sale, that
are called Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla.'’ One in p ir

popularity of the name which lie has acquiied for

here, is the inventor and oiiginal proprietor if the
medicine known as “Dr. Townsend's Sai■ ,i| m ill i."

no less than four hundred dozen of Sarsaparilla per

the demand. No medicine ever guiued so great a

Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for thi
genuine and original Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla,
that is not signed by S* I*. Townsend, commits a fraud,

guilty of such an act, would commit any other fraud

that ours is the only genuine.
Old Jacob Townsend.
Some people who are not well informed, and have
not i<iad the papers, and not seen our advertisements,
have been led to suppose, that because men nd
vertise their stuff as “ Old Jacob Townsends,” that it
must, of course, be the original. It is less than one
year since they commenced to make their medicine.
Ours has been in the maiket over ten y cars.
Tills Old Jncob Townsend.
They are endeavoring to palm oil' on the public as
an old Physician, kc. He is not a regular educated
Physician, and never attempted to manufacture a med
icine, until these men hired him lor the use of his
name. They say they do not w ish the people to be
lieve that their Sarsaparilla is ours, or the same—but
the better to deceive the public, they at the same time
assert that their’s is the Old Dr. Townsend’s, and the
original ; and endeavor to make the people believe
' it the stuff they manufacture, is the Ur. Townsend*®
B rsapaiilla, that has performed to manv wonderful
1 ares for the past ten years, and which lias gained a
.eputution which no other medicine ever enjoyed—
which is a base, villainous, unpiincipled falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages. W e wish it to he understood, that the old man
is no ielation to Dr. 'JLownsend whatever, in their ad
vertisements and circulars, they publish a number ol
gross falsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which we
will not notice.

Knowing, many yearn ago. that he had. by his skill,

Us inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has mine, the means are supplied ; this

is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length ami breadth of the land, especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young 8. P Townsend’s, it improves with age, and
never changes, but for the belter: because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is
well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
pertics, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid , which is injurious to the system.
Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they ent rely evaporate and are lost in the preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those •..xperienetd in its tnanufactuic. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, nre the very essential medical properties
us the root, which give to it all Us value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till they get .a dark
eolored liquid, which in more from the coloring matter In
the root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
*hd then call it “SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY
RUP.” Hut sjch is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is «o prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected;
men every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in this way, it is made the most (wmerful agent in the
Cure of iiiimiueriilile diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
side In Us favor by men, women, and children* We had it

would call tlie attention of the Public to a
number of certificates published, and which he
will continue to publish in various papers iu the
j State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In the
I treatment ofFistula, recourse is generally had
; to the knife, which is always painful and often
| hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful.
More than one half of the cases that have
j come under his care of late, had been subject to
j the knife without experiencing the least benefit,
I hut rather made worse. They were perfectly
i ■ ured by Dr. M. without the use of the knife, or
■ any such operation, without the least danger, and
| with but little or no pain. !n most cases the
: treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits
; of business, although the patient is necessarily
| obliged to be under the immediate care and su
i pervision of the Doctor trom one to four weeks,
j accordingly as the nature and circumstances ot
the case may demand.
Dr. M. docs not exaggerate, when he says that
j the plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to
j succeed iu ninety-nine cases out ot a hundred,
Its not iu every case ol I istula.
Savannah, March 15, 1841).
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I
was afflicted with that dreadful disease Fistula,
and for the last twelve months suffered so much
pain, as to incapacitate me almost Irom atten
ding to my business.—During this time I consul
ted several physicians both in this city and
Charleston, anil was informed by till of them,
the disease was incurable save by the knife of the
surgeon. Learning the operation was not only
very painful hut dangerous and not always suc
cessful, I was very mush opposed to submit to it,
and allowed the disease to progress so far as to
present the alternative to submit to be operated
upon, or die. At this time I saw l)r. Marshall s
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi
cated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that ho did cure the disease, I determined
to place myself under his treatment, and he com
menced to treat my case. I remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, and
I am happy now to say entirely restored. I would
no doubt have been entirely well much sooner,
but kept the place irritated from riding every
day on horseback severl miles. With regard to
the Doctor's treatment, it is attended compara
tively with little pain, 1 was at no time confined
to the bed more than one day, and to the house
but a very short time. He used no knife, (and
so far as I could judge) no caustic.
I am perfectly satisfied that the Doctor, with
his peculiar mode of practice, can cure the most
cases of Fistula with less pain to the patient, in
a shorter time and with more certainty than any
physician that l have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising from experience, advise
till who are afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate but at once to place themselves
under his treatment, and l doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will he realized.
It gives tnc great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, 1 lotind him the
perfect gentleman, afid an intelligent, devoted

Dr. W. W. Marshal!.— Dear Sir— Believing
as 1 do. that you have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, 1 lake pleasure in contri
buting my mite for tlie purpose of relieving the
sufferings ofthose who may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
I suffered from the painful effects of this dis
ease for more than two years. Three or four
Physicians, combining the talent of the State,
were employed for my relief, hut their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
and worse—l became debilitated in body and
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre
hensions of my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a
notice of the signal professional services of Dr.
\V. YV. Marshall of effecting a cure in cases of
Fistula, &e. The card purported to effect a
curt: without the use of the knife or caustic. 1
. must say tny faith was weak, hut I resolved to
give him a trial. 1 placed myself under his care
and treatment. lie has effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated—he has infused
new life into my hitherto dead hotly—l have ex
perienced tt resurrection from the dead, and all
tho energizing and renovating effects of anew

better convictions are that you have saved me

I knife or caustic could not have prevented hut
hastened. Yours, respectfully,

Irvvinton, March 20, 1848.
Dr.AR. Sir.—ln compliance with your request,
I send you a certificate ofthe cure which you so
soon performed on me,of that dreadful disease
Fistula, and I think there is no person living,
who has greater reason to be grateful for your
kindness than myself, in being cured of that
dreadful disease, which all who saw me, believ
ed if not checked, would in a short time, termin
ate my mortal existence. Sometime in the
month of April, 1846, a small hard tumor made
its appearance near the verge of the arms, which
in a short time became soft, nnd discharged at
times a considerable portion of offensive matter,
during which time 1 began to decline, and con
tinued to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1847, when 1 was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irvvinton,
was called in,and pronounced the disease to be
Fistula in ano.
I then asked the Doctor if he thought he could
cure me?—he answered he thought he could,
but that I must expect to suffer a long time be
fore be could perform a permanent cure. The
Doctor then commenced treating the ease, and
continued to do so forseven weeks, wilhout any
material benefit, and then advised me to go to
M aeon and place myself under your control, as
lie knew you from character, to be a gentleman
of intelligence, piety and experience. [ accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
your control, and in a shorter time than I ex
pected, found myself greatly henefitted by your
treatment.
I have now entirely recovered my long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that 1 enjoy
better health than I have for five years previous.
1 often on inquiry hear from you, and rejoice to
hear that you are in good health, and as soon as
circumstances will permit, 1 will visit Macon, as
I can then express my gratitude to you in person.
With due respect, 1 am sir, your obliged and

The following letter is from the Rev. John

accusation of guilt of“painful and mortifying”

convictions :
Quincy, Florida, April 10th, 1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude,! drop you these lines. Hince
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, rny health is so im
proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, rny morbid appetite left me on the
Commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing 1 eat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed todo theirofficc when I Inst wrote
you, hut these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed iny whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
ot them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at the improvement in iny health
\\ hen I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I fed toward you. I
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church lias been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom , inactivity
a ii<l Jorget/ulness, which disease had engendered,
and I vet hope to live long to preach tho un"
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN YV. MILLS.

) KXTKAOnntKARV CASK OF ASTHMA.
Blountsyili.e, Jones County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1849. 5
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir —Being under
the impression that a short statement relative to
my case might he productive of good to many
that are now afflicted as I have been, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, 1
have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I was attacked with Asth
ma, uhicli continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians iu
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, hut
without benefit—for I continued to get worse—
so much so, that front Ist September, 1847, I
had an attack every night, with only five excep
tions, till February, 1849. Huring'this long pe
riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition
was one of terrible suffering, compelled ns I
was, to sit up almost all the time trying to catch
my breath, which every minute seemed as it it
were to he the last ; indeed, I have been for ten
days at a time that I dared not place tny head
upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a
manner to have been heard over a hundred yards.
Having exhausted the skill and means of the
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching at straws,! resolved to employ a Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
hut alas! he it Iso failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
In this condition I left Mississsppi nnd came to
Georgia, and in January of this year, ns a forlorn
hope, placed myself under your care in Macon.
You there saw, with many others, my condition,
which for a while,was just as described. I was
reduced to nearly skin and hone, weighing only
110 llis., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repeated attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before 1 commen
ced improving. Atfirst,l would ntiss one night,
then two, then more ; my general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instruniennality, I enjoy excellent
health— have had no attack of Asthma since tlie
first week in March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have exposed myself during all
this rainy season to all weathers, without being
attacked, which fully justifies and warrants me
in making tnis statement, requesting its publica
tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may
he admonished to cease looking for a cure where
it cannot he found, hut resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored rue to health.
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain yours sincerely,
CYRUS L HOLMES.

i»r. x*. Vl. IMarfclmil,
IK7OULD respectfully inform all persons a!
T? Dieted with Cancer, Fistula, W ens, aiu
all ulcers and tumors, originating lrom vvhatsu
evercause, that he is permanently located i
the city of Macon, w here lie may he foun
both summer and u inter. Dr. M. wouldgu ar ,
the public against false reports, viz : that h
had removed from Georgia—that lie was dead
or deranged in mind. 11 also appears that vom.
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try
ing to make, the false impression that the;
treated diseases precisely as Dr. M. does, there
by misrepresenting him, and deceiving thej
patients, some of whom, of late, have heei
wofully imposed upon, and have been oblige,
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it onh
necessary to add, that his former and continue
success in the management of these diseases j
conclusive evidence of the superiority of hj
practice overall others known in this, or an<
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer
Arc., which may ho obtained gratis, by applj
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise
For the further encouragement of the afliictec
Dr. M. would just add, that on tiieir arrival a
Macon, they will have tlie iru st abundant te's
timony in favor of the utility of the treatment
by having access to those wiio have been made
whole, and also to those who are continually
under treatment from various parts of the Union’
'n every stage and variety ofthe complaints.—
The treatment is without the use ofthe knife,
or caustic, and is both constitutional and local.
