Druggist and Chemist. That some time in the latter
part of Mar, or first of June. 1813. 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 lludson-street, where depo

recij»e by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Dej*onent further says, that lie’ became acquainted
with said Townsend ait the office of Theodore Foster,
Esq., Book Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt That said Townsend had had frequent cons ersa
tions with deponent respecting the manufacture of an
article of Sarsaparilla to ho sold under the name of Dr
Jacob Townsend.
That said Townsend stated 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
days, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town*
send sold so well, and so much money was made by
it, he could see no reason why lie- 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. P. Townsend, to which he replied, that lie
knew Dr. S. P. Townsend would be down on him alter
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. Sari Townsend observed that he wanted to
make a sjiecimen to exhibit to his partners lor their
approval as he wished to gratify them in every thing,

Here is proof conclusive that Dr 3 P. Townsend’s
Sarsaparilla is the original The following is from
some of the most respectable papers in this state.

Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.
Ther* probably never lias been ■» popular a remerlv
or patent medicine, as Dr Towmends’s Sarsaparilla,
which was originally, and continues to he mamtlac*
tured in this city, at first by the Doctor himtell, and
afterwards for several years and to the present time,
by Clapp & Townsend, ihe present proprietors. Since
the partnership was fointed, the Doctor has lesided in
New York, where he keeps a store, and attends to the
business that accumulates at that point. The manu
factory is in this city, and is conducted bv tbo junior
partner, Sir. Clapp-dicre all the tnedicine’is manufac

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 Canadas,
West India Islands, South America, and even to Eu
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ a steam engine, bcsidei a large number
ol men, women and gill-, in the preparation of the
medicine, making boxes, printing, kc , and turn out,
ready for shipment, over 100 dozen per day, or nearly
6000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity
The great sale the medicine has acquired. Ins in
duced a number of men to get up imitations, and there
is at the present time, other medicines lor sale, that
are called “ Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla.’’ One in par

Till’. ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF TIIR
iioniiiae Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend is now about 70 years of age, and ha*
long i»eeii known a* the .dVTHOU and DISCOVKU EH
of the OFXULYK OMGLWdL *’ TOti'X*F.Xl> S IR-
U //- Reive poor, he was compelled to limit its

proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as tii«»>e persons who had
been healed ol sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knovvine, many years ago. that he had. by his skill,
science and experience, devised an article which would he
of incalculable advantage to m inkind when the means
would he furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would he known and appreciated.
This time has come, tne means are supplied , this

is maniifictured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially
os it is found i net (table of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young 8. T Townsend’s, it improves w ith age, and
never changes, but for thn better: because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Cheini 1 try. 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 know n to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
perries, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, w hich if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and ucul, which is injurious to the system,
dome of the proficrlies of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in -.he preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly oil* in v.-.por, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
»f the root, which give to it nU its value.
Any person enn boil or stew the root till they get a tinrg
eolured liquid, which i« more from the coloring matter in
the root than from any thing else: thov can then straiu
this insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten w ith sour molasses,
*nd then call it “
KUP.” Hut such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becomi rig acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
nnd concentrated form : and thus it is rendered incapable of
lo>ing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason w hy we hear commendations on every
side in its favor by men, women, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of

IN UND” OF S. R TOWNSEND,
»nd yet he would fun inve n understood that Old Dr. Jacob
i I’ownsend’s Genuine, Original Sarsaparilla, is an EMIT A
HON of his inferior preparation
Heaven forbid that wc should deal in an article which
would hear the most distant resemblance to 8. P. Town*
lend'* article! and which should firing down upon the Old
Dr. such a mountain load of complaints and criminations
from Agents w ho have sold, and purchasers who have used
8. P. Townsend's FERMENTING COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth.
that 8. P. Townsend’s nrticle and Old Dr. Jacob Town
icrnt’s Sarsaparilla are heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dts
timilar; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As 8. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was. is no
chemist, no pharmaceutist—know s no more of medicine or
disease than any othercommon, unscientific, unprofessional
lam. vv hat guarantee can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientific medicine, containing a'l tht

capable of changes w hich might render them the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
Put wini else should be expected from one who knows
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! It requires
‘ (arson of some experience to cook and serve up even a
common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the (>ersons who manufacture medicine, designed for
WEAK STOMACHS AND ENFEEBLED SYSTEMS,
should know well the medical properties of plants, the
best manner of securing and concentrating their healing
virtues, uDo an extensive knowledge of the various diseases
which affect the human system, and how to adapt remedies

It is to arrest frauds upon the unfortunate, to pour halm

DR. VV. \V. MARSHALL, of Macon, Ga.,
would cull llie attention of the I'utdic to a
number of corlifieates published, and which lie
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In the
treatment ofFisiula, recourse is generally had
to the knife, which is always painful and often
hazardous rind very irequently unsuccessful.
■Vioru than one halt of the raws that have
ome under It is care of late, had lu'en subject to
ihe knife without experiencing the least benefit,
hut rather made worse. They were perfectly
• ■iirefl by Ur. M. without the u.-c of the knife, or
my sucli operation, without the least danger, and
with hut little or no pain. In most cases the
treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits
of business, although tile patient is necessatily
obliged to be under the immediate care and su
pertisi- nos the Doctor front one to four weeks,
accordingly as the nature and circumstances of
the case may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when he says that
ihe plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine oases out ol a hundred,
if not in every case of Fistula.
Savannah, March 13, 1649.
This is to certify that for near sis cen years I
was afflicted with that dreadful disease fistula,
and for the last twelve months suffered so much
pain, as to incapacitate me almost Iroin atten
ding to tny 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 of the
surgeon. Learning ihe operation was not only
very painful hut dangerous and not always suc
cessful, 1 was very mush opposed to submit to it,
and allowed the dis ase to progress so far as to
present the alternative to submit to be operated
upon, or die. At this time I saw Dr. Marshall s
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi
cated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that he did cure the disease, I determined
to place myself under his treatment, and lie com
menced to treat my case. I remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, ami
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. Wilt regard to
the Doctor's treatment, it is attended compara
tively with litile pain, i was at no time confined
to tiie bed more than one day, and to the house
hut a very short time. He used no knife, (and
so far as 1 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
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 gives me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. JAS. E. GODFREY.

Dr. VV. W. Marshai.e—Dear Sir— Believing
as I do. that you have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, I take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for tbe purpose of relieving the
sufferings ofthosewho may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
1 suffered from the painful effects of tiiis dis
ease for more than two years. Three or four
; Physicians, combining the talent ot the Stale,
I were employed for my relief, but their united ef
i forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
: and worse —I became debilitated in body and
I mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre-
I hensionsof my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a
notice ofthe signal professional services ol Dr.
W. VV. Marshall of effecting a cure in cases of
Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a
cure \\ ilhout the use ot the knife or caustic. I
must say my faith was weak, hut l resolved to
give him a trial. I placed myself under his care
and treatment. He has effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated —he has infused
new life into my hitherto dead body I haveex
perieuoed a resurrection from the dead, at.d all
the energizingand 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. SHARP.
Irwiston, March 20, 1848.
Dear 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 1 think there is no person living,
who has greater reason to be grateful for vour
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 tny mortal existence. Sometime iri the
month off April, 1846, a small hard tumor made
, its appearance near the verge of the arms, which
J in a short time became soft, and discharged at
times a considerable portion of offensive matter,
during which time I began to decline, and enn
; tinned to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1847, w hen 1 was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted. until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton,
; was called in,and pronounced the disease to be
Fistula in aim.
I then asked the Doctor if he thought lie could
cure me?—lie answered he thought he could,
but that I must expect to suffer a long time be
fore lie could perform a permanent cure. The
Doctor then commenced treating the rase, and
continued to do so for seven weeks, without any
material benefit, and then advised me to go tu
M aeon and place myself under your control, as
he knew you from character, to be a gentleman
of intelligence, piety and experience. I accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
your control, nnd in a shorter time than I ex
pected, found myself greatly benefitted by your
treatment.
1 have now entirely recovered niy long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that I enjoy
better health titan I have for live years previous.
I often on inquiry hear from you, and rejoice to
hear that you are in good health, and as soon as
circumstances will permit, 1 w ill visit Macon, as
I can then express my gratitude to von in person.
With due respect, I am sir, your obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN TARI’LEY.

Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines .' ; iiice
1 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, my morbid app titc left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I 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 lasi wrote
you, but these tire now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left tne, and 1 now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at tiie improvement in my health
\Vhen l compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel 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 has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
nnd forgetfulness,wU\eh disease had engendered,
and 1 yet hope to live long to preach the mu
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines lefl, &c. I am, dear sir, vours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.

Let Facts Speak !
CtO.MMENT IS UNNECESS A RY— A not ti k r
) extraordinary case of ASTHMA.
Blountsvili.e, Jon's County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1849. j
Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir —Being under
the impression that a short statement relative ii
my case might he productive of good to many
that are now afflicted as I have hern, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favorof you
system of practice and skill in curing disease, I
have concluded to give il, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1815, I was attacked with Asth
ma, w liicli continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied t>
some of the must eminent mineral physicians it.
the Slate of M ississippi, where I resided, but
without benefit—for I 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, 1849. During this long pe
riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition
was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I
was, to sit up almost all the time trying to catch
nty breath, which every minute seemed as if ii
were to he the hist : indeed, I 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 Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
but alas: ite also failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
In this condition Ileft Mississsppi nnd came to
Georgia, and in January of this year, as a forlorn
hope, planed myself under your care in Macon.
You there saw, with many others, my condition,
which for n while,was just as described. I was
reduced to nearly skin and Itnne, 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 ; my general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumonnality, I enjoy excellent
health—have had no attack of Asthma since the
first week in March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have ex posed myself during all
this rainy season to ali weathers, without being
all ickcd, which fully justifies and warrants nn*
in making Ini- statement, requesting its publica
tion, trifling that others simiiarlv situated, may
In* admonished to re se looking for a cure where
i' cannot he found. Imt res rl tit once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me lo health.
\\ tilt alt moiling fi'clings of gra'ifnde, respect
and esteem, I rema n vours sincerelv.

THE GLOBE,
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literaru
.Xeicspupcr. “
SHE approach of Congress calls out the An
uual Prospectus of the Globe Establish
ment.
The time is full of interest. The coming i n
of anew Administration the consequent broach,
ing of anew policy t licking the internal con
cerns of the couhtry—the new and most impor
tant issues arising from 1 lie late vast accession to
the public domain, and the great national olden,
associated with il—the impending difficulty j n
o ir relations w ith Fiance, nnd the pcssiblecnm.
plication of our affairs with ihe troubles <,f
rope,—conspire to create great expectation as to
the proceedings of the next Congress. The an.
i reaching Session M ill probably continue till k,j e
in the summer of 1850. The debates, from l( )c
noi'alion of so many questions of vital interistio
the Republic, will draw forth all ilm talent of
the National Legislature To bring its delibira
lions home to ihe people, on each succeeding
day, while measures are tnaturii g, is, in effect
to tiring I lie whole nation into council. The
discussion, spreading from the Capitol to the re.
•notes! parts ofthe Union, forms a public opi n .
ion which reacts uj on Congress and controls its
decisions.
To become a useful instrument, however hum
ble, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chinery of iitir popular institutions, is the ambi
lion of the conductor of the Globe. Extraor
dinary preparations have therefore been made to
meet the increasing demands of our rapidly im
proving and growing country for Congressional
intelligence. •
riie Globe Press has already enlisted the
ablest Reporters yet known to Congress ; ivt
materials and machinery are of the best sort ;
acd ihe exclusive devotion of the individual who
torso many years has made ithis study to embo
dy and publish the labors of Congress, gi\es rea
son to hope that tin advance will be made in the
accomplishment of this undertaking commensu
rate with its increased importance. But Ihe ac
cumulation of expense cornu quent on the addi
tional number of Reporters riquired—the exiui
charges incurred in piinling at night the ibkaKs
‘ft lie preceding day— the vast addition made to
lie mass published, by the protracted sessions
and the fuller reports given,—-will render our
enterprise a failure, unless Congress slia'i go far
patronize it as to become a purchaser of hi< H
portion ofthe daily sheets issued,as shall conin',
bute to make the reports that fill them. Tim
undersigned lias ventured on the preparation be
has made for the next Session, in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for as main daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price
as will, in part, defray the expense of reporting,
and give them cireiiluiiou ns Congressional docu
ments in their several districts. '1 his will fM .
ble the I üblisher to hear the charge of reporting,
and it w II give an impulse to the circulation of
the Congressional Pi in t, which, although the
cheapest in the L ninu (ihe expense of prepara
tion consider' and) will yet y i<-1 cl sufficient profit to
make ihe system permanent.
John C. Rives having purchased the interest
ot 1. I*. Blair in Jackson Hall the printing
office machinery nnd material—becomes the sole
proprietor thereof, and will give his exclisive
attention to the Congressional Department.
J. C. Pickett will conduct the Miscellaneous
Department of the Newspaper. F. P. Blair
retires troni bolli concerns, with prayers for their
permanent usefulness and prosperity.
The Globe will ho published daily duringthe
session of Congress, and Weekly lire remainder
of the year, and will undergo distribution in tbe
form ot a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
I he U eekly Globe will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles ; and will occasion
ally give debates of such importance as command 1
universal interest.
Ihe price ofthe Weekly Globe is reduced to
One Dollar, with a view to obtain a more gene-
I ral circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto*
paid $2 per annum, will Imcharged only $1 af
ter the expiration of the first year.
i he Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioceedings and debates exclusively.
Ihe Appendix will embrace the revised
qieeches separately, and the messages of tile
i resident of the l oiled States, arid the reports
"f the Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
1 lie Congressional Globe and Appendix will
he published as fast as the proceedings of Con
jress will make a number Subscribers may ex
ice one number of each a week during the first
our weeks of a session, and two or three Bum
oo sos each a week afterwards, until the end if
he session Eeh volume will probably com
prise two thousand royal quarto pages, ol small
type.
Complete Indexes to the Congressional Globe
and Appendix will he sent to subscribers soon
alter Congress adjoirns.
Nothing nfa politieal party aspect will appear
n the Globe save that which will he found in
he Congiessinhal reports. A paper assuming,
to he an inipaitin! vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue.
