George M. Dixon, Semi-Annual Cash Prices Current and General Catalogue of
Pure Chemicals and Extra Quality of Medicines (Cincinnati, July 1,1858), pp.
9-10. See Jordan, Phillip D. "Purveyors to the Profession: Cincinnati
Drug-Houses, 1850-1860." Ohio History, 54 (October-December, 1945):370-380.

 

I believe the journal is still "on-line" by the Ohio Historical Society. You
can access the article by Jordan there.

Subject: 19th century patent medicines

 

Greetings all,

 

Sorry to interrupt the recent deluge of button emails,

but I wanted to ask if anyone might know of references

that discuss ingredients of 19th century patent

medicines. Specifically, I am interested in

ingredients that went in to worming medications, and

those medicines which claimed to cure dysentery. 

 

Thanks,

Jeremy Pye
