Rare mid- 19th century quack cure, in original paper wrapping with depiction of Pocahontas, another Native American and a settler seen suffering. The wrapping also states "Prepared by C.B. Merrick, M.D., Milton PA". My contact with a Historical Society in PA indicates this was Charles B. Merrick, probably not a physician. This has never been opened and it does contain the pills. For display only. If interested, I can e-mail a copy of the 1844 ad for these pills. Cash only.
