      OLD DR . JACOB TOWNSEND'S i ^ iENTJINE OBIGINAL UNITED STATES ' \ Jf 8 AR 8 APARILLA In submitting this Sartaparilla to the People of England , we have been influenced by the same motives which dictated its promulgation in America . This Compound Sarsaparilla of Old Dr . Townsend has nothing in coamon with preparations bearing the name in Eng land or America . Prepared by one of the nobleat American Chemists , having ; the approbation of a great and respectable body of American Physicians and Druggis t * , universally adopted by the American people , and forming' a compound of all the rarest medicinal roots , seeds , plants , and flowers that grow on American soil , it it may truly be called the Great and Good American Remedy . Living , as it were , amid sickness and disease , and studying its multitudinoua p hases and manifestations in Hospitals , Asylums , and at the bedside of the sick , for more than 40 years , Dr . Townsend was qualified , above a ll other men , to prepare a medicine which should perform a greater amount of good than any other man now living . "When received into the stomach it i « digested like the food , and enters into the circulation as the nutriment part of our aliment does . Its first remedial action is upon the blood , and through that upon every part where it is needed . It is in this way that this medicine supplies the blood with constituents which it needs , and removes that which it does not need . In this way it purifies the blood of excess of bile , acids , and alkalies , of pus , of all foreign and morbid matter , and brings it into a healthy condition . In this way it quickens or moderates the circulation , £ r educing coolness , warmth , or p erspiration . In this way it that this medicine is conveyed to the liver , where it allays inflammation , or relieves congestion , removes obstructions , cleanses and heals abscesses , dissolves gummy or thickened bile , and excites healthy secretions . In this way , also , is this medicine conducted to the lungs , where it assuages inflammation , allays irritation , relieves cough , promotes expectoration , dissolves tubercles , and heals ulcerations . In like manner it acts on the stomach to neutralise acidity , remove flatulence , debility , heartburn , nausea , restore tone , appetite , &c . In the

      same way it acts upon the kidneys , on the bowels , on the uterus , theovaria , and all internal organs , and not less effectually on the glandular and lymphatic system , on the joints , bones , and the skin . It is by cleansing , enriching , and purifying the blood that old Dr . Townsend ' s Sarsaparilla effects so many wonderful cures . Physiological science has demonstrated the truth of what is asserted in Holy Writ , that " the Blood is the Life . " Upon this fluid all the tissues of the body depend for their maintenance and repletion . It carries to and maintains vitality in every part by its circulation and omnipresence . It replenishes the wastes of the system , elaborates the food , decomposes the air , and imbibes vitality from it ; regulates the corporeal temperature , and gives to every solid and fluid its appropriate substance or secretion—earthy and mineral substance , gelatine , marrow , and membrane to the bones—fibrine to the muscles , tendons , and ligaments—nervous matter to the brain and nerves—cells to the lungs—linings to all the cavities ; parenchy-

      matous and investimg substances to the viscera ; coats , coverings , &c , to all the vessels ; hair to the head—nails to the fingers and toes ; urine to the kidneys ; bile to the liver—gastric juice to the stomach ; sinovial fluid to the joints—tears to the eye 3 ; aliva to the mouth ; moisture to the skin—and every necessary fluid to lubricate the entire framework of the system ; to preserve it from friction and inflammation . Now , if this important fluid becomes corrupt or diseased , and the secreting organs fail to relieve it of the morbid matter , the whole system feels the shock , and must sooner or later sink under it , unless relieved by the proper remedy . When this virulent matter is thrown to the skin , it shows its disorganizing and virulent influence in a multitude of cutaneous diseases , as salt rheum , scald head , erysipelas , white swelling , scarlet fever , measles , smallpox , chicken or kine pox , superficial ulcers , boilp , carbuncles , pruritus or itch , eruptions , blotches , excoriations , and itching , burning sore 3 over the face , forehead , and breast . When thrown upon the cords and joints , rheumatism in all its forms are induced ; when upon the kidneys , it produces pain , heat , calculi , diabetes , or strangury , excess or deficiency of urine , with inflammation and other sad disorders of the bladder . When carried to the bones , the morbid matter destroys the animal and earthy substances of these tisaue 3 . producing necrosis , i . e ., decay or ulceration of the bones . When conveyed to the liver , all forms of hepatic or bilious diseases are produced . When to the lungs , it produces pneumonia , catarrh , asthma , tubercles , cough , expectoration , and final consumption . When to the stomach , the effects are inflammation , indigestion , sick headache , vomiting , loss of tone and appetite , and a fainting , sinking sensation , bringing troubles and disorders of the whole system . When it seizes upon the brain , spinal marrow or nervous system , it brings on the tie tloloreux , or neuralgia , chorea , or St . Vitu » ' dance , hysteria , paley , epilepsy , insanity , idiocy , and many other dictressing- ailments both of body and mind . When to the eyes , ophthalmia ; to the ears , ottorrhoca ; to

      the throat , bronchitis , croup , &c . Thus all the maladies known to the human system are induced by a corrupt state of the blood . With no general remedy on whick implicit reliance can bo placed a purifier of the blood , disease and suffering , and consequent want , etalk unchecked and unsubdued in every land in all the world . If there is arrest of action in any of the viscera , immediately they begin to decay ; if any fluid ceases to circulate , or to be changed for fresh , it becomes a niuna of corruption , and a malignant enemy to the living- fluids and solids . If the blood ¦ taguates it spoils ; if the bile does not pass off , and give place tofresh , it roU ; if the urine ifl retained it ruins body and blood . The whole system , every i « eretion , every function , every fluid depend for their health upon action , circulation , change , giving and receiving—and the moment theso cease disease , decay , and death begin . In thus tracing the causes and manifestations of disease , we ¦« e how wonderful and mysterious are the way * of l ' rovidence

      In adapting the relations of cause and effect , of action anil reaction , of life and death . All nature abounds with th « truth that every active substance has its opposite or corrective . All poisons have their antidotes , and all diseases have their remedies , did we but know them . Upon thi * principle was l > r . Townsend guided in the discovery of hit ) medicine . Prepared exnreHBly by the old Doctor to act upon the blood , it is calculated to cure a grout variety of diseases . Nothing could bo better for all diseases of children , as dimmIcs , croup , hoopingcoiifrh , small , chicken , or kine pox ; inuinpH , quiuny , worinit , Bcurlot fever , colds , coetiveness , and fevern of ull kin < lnami , bums pleasant to the taste , there can be no difficulty iu fretting them to take It .
