About This Item

190 Chatham Square, New York: [R.L. Wolcott], no date, ca. 1861 - 1865. Illustrated broadsheet handbill printed on thin paper, 8vo (9.25" x 4.5"), 2 pp., with small woodcut of a demon. OCLC currently locates two, apparently variants (University of Rochester; Connecticut Historical Society).

Irregularly trimmed, moderate edge wear & toning, otherwise very good.

"WHEREAS, there is now in existence throughout the length and breadth of our land, a Rebellion which has arrayed itself against the very Constitution of man, undermined the health of the nation, and assuming still vaster proportions, threatens to to sap the very vitals of the country, and evermore destroy its peace and happiness.

And Whereas, these demons of disease, whose name is legion, coming in the dread forms of Headache, Toothache, Neuralgia, Catarrh, and Weak Nerves, are now invading our very houses and firesides, inflicting Pain and Misery upon all who they track:

Therefore, it is ordered and prescribed to all suffering from Headache, Toothache, Neuralgia, Catarrh, and Weak Nerves, that they use

WOLCOTT'S INSTANT PAIN ANNIHILATOR …"

Few heartstrings left unplucked in this uncommon piece!
