Description

Lots of ads & testimonials for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, Brown's Bronchial Troches & other products of dubious medical benefit. Mrs. Winslow purported to be: "a Physician and nurse, who has compounded soothing syrups for children's ailments." She included household recipes in this publication which was issued annually from 1859 to 1879. Contains ads for many patent medicines as well as household hints & recipes for cooking, preserving, or "cures" like: "To Cure Diphtheria."
