These formulas come from a notebook I found years ago in an old house. It contains the potions and recipes used to manufacture household products and some of the patent medicines of the 1860's, including a cure for cancer. I will transcribe them as written to the best of my ability but much of the language is unfamiliar. I offer this for the interest of the reader only. Many of the ingredients are hazardous in the extreme. Do not try or believe any of the claims made.
Mix well together. Saturate with the liquid a small piece of cotton and apply to the cavity of the diseased tooth. The pain will cease immediately.
Put up in long Drachm bottles. Retail at 25 cents.
This is a very salable preparation and affords a large profit to the manufacturer.
