If nobody has mentioned it yet, you might want to look at the American 
Medical Association's volumes "Propaganda for Reform in Proprietary 
Medicine" in the Internet Archive's texts.  
<http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=propaganda%20for%20reform%20AND%20mediatype%3Atexts>
The products are listed by name along with various chemical analyses and 
discussions. These are probably  later than you want but may still be 
useful.
