About This Item
[Rochester, NY], 1855. Unbound. Very Good binding. Bifolium. 4 pp. Folded promotional brochure, printing on all 4 pages; with a charming engraved vignette on the first page showing a woman administering medicine to a sick woman in her bed. Light toning, only.
The Library Company of Philadelphia's catalogue record for this work reports "Nehemiah Osburn (1801-92), prominent Rochester businessman, built Osburn House at Main and St. Paul," and that his wife Sarah Ann Van Schuyver Osburn (1806-92) was a successful businesswoman, her eponymous firm specializing in patent and popular medicines for ailments of the mouth. "To prevent fraud, the written signature of the proprietor, S. A. Osburn, will be written upon the wrapper [of the bottle], without which one is genuine. Sold, wholesale and retail, by N. Osburn, corner of Main and St. Paul Streets, Rochester, N.Y. general agent for the United States" (p. 4)--this copy without that signature, so ingest as your own risk. Printed testimonials on p. 4 are dated 1847 and 1855. An uncommon and attractive piece of medical-commercial ephemera.
