to judge which is the genuine and original, and of the
honesty of the men wno are employed in selling it as

Townsend was the original proprietor and inventor of
Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, ami his medicine has

City aiul County of New York, Jt.
William Armstrong, of the said rity, being duly
sworn, doth depose and say that he is a practical
Druggist and < hemist. That some time in the latter
part of May, or first of June, I*4s, a man b) the name
of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and
pamphlet peddler, called u|*wi dcjionent, at the house
of Mr. Thompson, No \2 Hudson-street, where 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,
►>q., pook Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt '1 hat said Townsend had had frequent conversa
ti*»na with deponent respecting the manufacture of an
article of $oi e r. r ..rUla to be sold under the name of Dr
Jacob Townsend.
That said Townsend stated he was an oi l man, and
poor, an 1 was not tit for hard labor—and wished to
make pome money, in order to live easy in his old
da\s, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town
send sold so well, and so much money was made by
it, lie could see no reason why he might not make
something out of it too. (his name being Townsend,)
if lie could pet a capable person to prepare a recipe,
and manufacture it for him. Deponent in one cf the
conversation* asked said Townsend if be was related
to Dr. 8. P. Townsend, to w hich he replied, that he
knew Dr S. P. Townsend would be down on him after
he should commence Hut 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 w as
well prepared to defend himself against any attack
tint might be ma le on him.
TVp nent fuither says, that pursuant to the request
of said Jacob Townsend, lie wrote a recipe for the
manufacture of a iSyrup of Sarsaparilla, ami gave it to
him. Said Town-end observed tlmt he wanted to
make a specimen to exhibit to his partners for their
approval, as he w ished to gratifi them in every thing,
hs they furnished ail the capital— said Townsend ulio
told deponent that the bottles they were to use were
to be of tiie same me and shape as Dr. S P. Town,
send’*, and deponent, at the request of said Jacob
Townsend, w ent to the office of Dr 8 i\ Town end,
and procured one of his l ibels.
And deponent further says, that he has been inform

DU. W. \V. MARSHALL, of Macon, Ga.*
would call tii o attention of the Public to a
1 number of certificate* published, and which bn
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In the
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
come under his care of late, had been subject to
the knife without experiencing the least benefit,
but rather made worse. They were perfectly
cured by Dr. M. without the use of the knife,or
any such operation, without the least danger, and
with but little or no pain. In most cases the
treatment docs not preyent the ordinary pursuits
of business, although the patient is necessarily
obliged to be under tile immediate care and su
pervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks,
accordingly as the nature and circumstances ot
the case mav demand.
Dr. M. docs not exaggerate, when lie says that
the plan of treatment lie pursues is obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine rases out ol a hundred,
f not in every case ofFistula.
Savannah, Marcli 15, 1849.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years 1
was afflicted with that dreadful disease Fistula,
and for the last twelve months suffered so much
pain, as to incapacitate me almost from atten
ding to my business—During this time I consul
ted "’several physicians both in this city and
Charleston, and was informed by all of them,
the disease was incurable save by the knife ol the
surgeon. Learning the operation was not only
very painful but dangerous and not always suc
cessful, I was very musli opposed to submit toil,
and allowed the dis-ase to progress so far as to
present the alternative to submit to be operated
upon, nr die. At this time 1 saw l)r. .Marshall s
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi
cated with him on the subject, and atter being
satisfied that lie did cure the disease,l determined
to place myself under his treatment, und lie 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. 1 would
no doubt have been entirely well much sooner,
hut kept the place irritated from riding every
day oil horseback severl miles. Wi Ii 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
lint a very short time. He used no knife, (and
so far as 1 could judge) no caustic.
1 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 I have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising Irom experience, ad\ ise
all who are afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate but at once to place themselves
under his treatment, and I doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will be realized.
It «ives me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, 1 found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. JAS. E GODFREY.

Abbeville District,SLC., July 13, 1848. j
Dr. W. W. Marshall— Dear Sir— Relieving
as i do, that you have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painlul
and dangerous disease, 1 take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for the purpose of relieving the
sufferings oTthose who may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
I suffered from the painful effects dis
ease for more than two years. Three or four
Physicians, combining the talent ot the State,
were employed for mv relief, lint their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew w orse
and worse—l became debilitated in body ami
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre
hensions of my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charles on, S. C., my attention was arrested by a
notice ofthe signal professional services of Dr
W. W. Marshall of effecting a cure in eases of
Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a
cure without the use of the knife or caustic. I
must say niy faith was weak, but 1 resolved to
"ive him a trial. I placed myself under his care
and treatment. He lias effected a perfect.cure
mv whole frame is invigorated—lie lias infused
nevv life into my hitherto dead body—l liaveex
! perieuced a resurrection from the dead, and all
the energizing and renovating effects of anew
creation. lam in very deed anew man. My
! better convictions are that you have saved me
from an untimely death, which the use of the
knife or caustic could not have prevented but
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SH ARP.
Ihwinton, March 20, 1648.
Dear Sir —ln compliance with your request,
I send you a certificate of-the cure which you so
soon performed on me,of that dreadful disease
Fistula, and 1 think theie is no person living,
who has greater reason to he grateful for your
kindness than myself, in being cured of that
dreadful disease, which all who saw me, believ
ed if not checked, would it. a short time, termin
ate inv 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, and discharged at
times a considerable portion of offensive matter,
during which time I began to decline, and con
tinued to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1817, when I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton,
was called in,and pronuuneed(he discuse to j)e
Fistula in anti.
I then asked the Doctor if he thought he could
cure me?—lie answered he thought he could,

fore he could perform a permanent cure. The
Doctor then commenced treating the case, and
continued to do so for seven weeks, without any
material benefit, and then advised tne to go to
M aeon and place myself under your control, as
he knew you from character, to he a gentleman
of intelligence, piety and experience. I accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
your control, and in a shorter time than I ex
pected, found myself greatly benefitted by your
treatment.
1 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.
I often on inquiry hear from you, and rejoice to
hear that you are. in good health, and ns soon as
circumstances w ill pt rmit, 1 will visit Macon, as
1 can then express my gratitude to you in person.
With due respect, I am sir, your obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN TARPLEY.

case, as lie boarded at the Washington Hall while
under my care.
In this case there were three abscesses, all of
them mplete, viz: external and internal. The
discharge was very copious, at least a half a pint
per day, and very acrid and offensive. There
could not be a worse ease to be cured

and denunciatory of all and every other; while
the prejudices ofthe past are being aroused, and
the fears ofthe future are being appealed to ;
while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad

of speech and of opinion in professional men,
especially of those of the “sacred profession,”
are endevoured to he curtailed, and their con

Dr M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir : With rnex
pressible gratitude. I drop you these lines Since
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, rny morbid npp'titr, left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
tiling 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 to do their office when I last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, lias left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the clot nge,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at the improvement in my health
When I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1
now enter into conversation with life, as l once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in mv
heart for the Church lias been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgcfuhiess,w liich disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach tho nna
si archable riches of Christ. 1 have yet some
medicines left, &c I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.

J EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA.
Blocntsv ili.e, Jones County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1840. y
Dr. M. S. Thomson Dear Sir —Being under
the impression that a short statement relative to
my ease 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, I
have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I was attacked w ith Asth
ma, which continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians iu
the Slate of Mississippi, where I resided, hut
without benefit—for 1 continued to get worse—
so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, I
had an attack every night, with only five excep
tions, till February, 184'J. During 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 if it
were to be the last ; indeed, 1 have been for ten
days at a time that I dared not place my 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 llomce
opathio Doctor, w ho for a time, treated my case;
but alas! he also failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
In this condition I left Mississsppi andeaine to
Georgia, and in January of tliisycar,as 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 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repeated attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before I commen
ced improving. At first, I would miss one night,
then two, then more ; mv general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent
health—have had no attack of Asthma since the
firstweekin 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 ali weathers, without being
attacked, which fuily 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 be found, hut resort at once to the means
that have so happily, ami in such a limited peri
od restored mo to health.
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain vours sincerely,
CYRUS L. HOLMES.
