    Description

    Pamphlet about Rheumatism, Gout & Neuralgia by the Griffith Rheumatic Remedy Co., Proprietor. Manufactured and Distributed by The Kells Company, Inc. Newburgh, New York. Age unknown. I have found articles online that date from the 1880's to the 1920's, this pamphlet is some where in that vintage. The paper is cream (has probably darkened through the years), the print is black. This about the treatment of gout, rheumatism & neuralgia with the Griffith Compound that was composed of mixture of Guaiac and Stillingia. Informative and interesting information on how these diseases were treated at the time. No missing pages, no markings, pencil writings or highlighting. There is are some dog-eared pages, some slight wear and fraying on the edges. The next to the last page is shorter than the smaller width wise than the other and appears to be a manufacturing defect. Double staple binding. This pamphlet belonged to my grandfather and was in his things.  Non-smoker's home. Grand-daughter of Original Owner.
