About This Item

Buffalo, New York: Willis L. Gregory, n.d. (19th century). Ephemera. Fine. Pamphlet; single leaf (8.25x6 inches, open); folded once, printed on all 4 "pages" with dosages of Syrup of Dover's Powder, as submitted by local doctors.

Dover's powder was a traditional medicine against cold and fever developed by Thomas Dover. It is no longer in use in modern medicine, but may have been in use at least through the 1960s. Named from Doctor Thomas Dover, an English physician of the eighteenth century who first prepared it, the powder was an old preparation of powder of ipecacuanha, opium in powder, and potassium sulfate. The powder was largely used in domestic practice to induce sweating, to defeat the advance of a cold, and at the beginning of any attack of fever.
