About This Item
[Kokomo, Ind, 1880. Broadsheet. 24 x 14 cm. 2 pp. Some rumpling and old staining on verso, faintly showing through to recto. Recto shows an illustration, 7.5 x 9 cm., on the top third of the page, of an older couple sitting before their hearth, the man in contemplation in his rocker, the woman sewing by lamp light. The caption title is printed underneath the illustration, and is followed by a poem by T.W. Taylor about hard work and the lot of the poor compared to "Banker Jones across the way, who rolls in wealth and style," four four-line verses, followed by a small vignette of a coach pulled by four horses. Verso prints two more four-line verses of the poem, followed by a list of "Remedies Prepared by Dr. W.L. Willis. Beat Your Doctor: By using these Remedies you may get well quick, / For they have no inducement in keeping you sick. / But the Doctor has reason to keep you long ill, / While for many short visits he makes a long bill." The remedies include several "specifics" produced by Dr. Willis and available through his agents, and notes "Traveling Agents wanted. For terms, inclose a two cent stamp and address Dr. W.L. Willis, Kokomo, Ind." The poem by T.W. Taylor was penned in ca. 1883, and originally dedicated to Gen. B. F. Butler, the National Party, and workingmen of America [see: OCLC records for the poem as a separate printing]. No listings found on OCLC for Dr. Willis of Kokomo, Indiana.
