About This Item
Stab-sewn accordion-fold pamphlet in wrap, 8.75 x 5.75 inches, 20 folded leaves; rodent (?) damage as visible in scans, affecting text on front wrap only.
WorldCat locates four: Harvard, Huntington, Lancaster Theological Seminary, Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center.
Apparently arranged in sections outlining uses for each of Jayne's various medicines, just as in his American almanacs. Unclear whether this was printed in the US for the immigrant market (as suggested by the Connecticut general store ad on the back wrap ) or for the Asian market, where Jayne's medicines were available and used by missionaries. The American almanacs often contain testimonies from missionaries in Asia, and an edition in Burmese was printed in Rangoon at the American Mission Press in 1864.

About Archway Books
I have over thirty years experience as a full-time bookseller, ten years as owner of a brick and mortar shop and twenty-one on the internet and at book shows. My particular interest is in books and other printed objects as agents or artifacts of social upheaval and cultural clash.
