[Boston, MA: Dr. E. Hartshorn & Sons, 71 Blackstone St.], 1890. Broadside. 33 x 25 cm. Printed on buff paper, in various sizes and styles of type, including an illustration of a key to emphasize that the bitters were a "key to health." Text enclosed in a black border. These "purely vegetable" bitters "always cure Sallowness of Skin, Dulness [sic] or Dizziness of Head, Sick Headache, Bad Taste of Mouth, Weakness of Limbs, Weariness, Bad Sleep, Poor Appetite, and all Bilious Complaints." Price, dosage, and testimonials accompany the text. A few closed tears along margins, not affecting text. A very good example.
Dr. Edward Hartshorn (1818-1906) received his medical degree from Harvard in 1840. When ill health caused him to retire from the practice of medicine, he began to produce pharmaceutical preparations. He and his sons manufactured various medicines in Boston from about 1878 on. [ATWATER 1577]. OCLC lists two copies: Univ. of Rochester Med. Ctr.; Library Co. of Phila.

Description:
Boston: Dr. E. Hartshorn & Sons, 1890. First Edition (?). Broadside. Fine. One broadside, measuring about 9.75" x 13". One or two trivial nicks to the extremities, but a fine example, never folded. Undated, but based on the paper and Hartshorn's printed address, likely dating from the last decade of the 19th century. Promotes a typical snake oil cure-all, complete with testimonials from all over New England. Not vanishingly rare, but we note fewer than half a dozen copies in library holdings, mostly at The Library Co. of Philadelphia and University of Rochester.
