Interesting and a nice quick read of the past .
Oh the remedy's i imagined they had back then eh?
Im thinking a 1.00 might have been a lot of money in 1891 no?

Thank you Bass---I'm not very computer savvy!

Martin, $1.00 back in 1891 had to be a lot of money! Maybe it was full of Cocaine like many of those "snake oil" type medicines were back then. Maybe that was the "healthy and agreeable" ingredient! LOL!!! No doubt it cured the constipation(figs), but probably made you feel so good, you didn't care!(just guessing of course).
