"Scott's Emulsion" with Lime and soda
Contents Note: From the Journal A.M.A. Oct 13, 1906, 1207. "The introduction of cod-liver oil
as a supposedly easily assimilable nutrient and reconstructive was followed by
its extensive use in wasting diseases especially in phthisis, in the treatment
of which it came to be considered almost essential, as it was supposed to
possess some mysterious power different from that of other oils. Its
unpalatable character led to various devices to render it tasteless and to make
it more acceptable to the stomach. Emulsions containing the oil in mixture with
other substances were put on the market and served a useful purpose.

Sloan's Liniment Kills Pain, 18 fluid ounces (actually it has the stuff
in there)
Contents Note: Earl S. Sloan (1848-1923) from Logan County, Ohio, Earl Sloan, son of Susan and
Andrew Sloan, was born and spent his childhood in a log house (the original no
longer exists) directly across the street from the library. Not much is known
about his childhood except that the family was poor and Earl did not complete
his formal schooling. His father worked at the village livery and was a
self-taught veterinarian who sold homemade horse liniment (it is supposed the
natives supplied him with the original formula). Earl quit his schooling and
apprenticed as a harness maker. In 1871, he took his father's liniment recipe
and left Zanesfield for Missouri, where his brother traded horses. While
working with his brother, Early began hawking the horse tonic locally. After
finding it a good sale item, the brothers traveled to fairs and carnivals
selling the liniment. At one point, they discovered that a man had taken the
tonic for himself and had claimed it was good for man or beast. The slogan
"Good for Man or Beast" was born. The liniment sold so well in Missouri that
Early traveled to Chicago. He advertised his tonic in newspaper and on
streets.

New Discovery for consumption is well calculated to strike terror to the
doctors or to any other class or profession, except, perhaps, the undertakers.
It is a pretty diabolical concoction to give anyone, and particularly to a
consumptive. The chloroform temporarily allays the cough, thereby checking
Nature's effort to throw off the dead matter from the lungs. The opium drugs
the patient into a deceived cheerfulness. the combination is admirably designed
to shorten the life of any consumptive who takes it steadily." Great American

Streets: (1849); 39 N. 6th St. (1853-1857); prepared only at his laboratory at
Schenck's Railroad Station, Neshaminy Bridge, Bucks Co. PA (1854),
Philadelphia, PA, Advertised 1850-1855. For coughs and consumption, this was
probably his first product listed at 89 N. 6th St. Phila in 1858. He also sold
Schenck's Mandrake Pills for liver complaint. Dr. J.A. Schenck, the father of
the proprietor was said to have suffered from pulmonary trouble. A change of
climate and occupation gave him no relief and he had long given up on
physicians. Upon the suggestion of an old friend of the family, he tried an old
fashioned remedy. Within a year he was again healthy and he commenced the
manufacture of the remedy. He moved from Flemington, N.J. to Philadelphia. He
began with a single room and a few simple appliances. After several moves, he
located at the NE corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, where the business was
eventually carried on by his son J.H. Schenck. The Pulmonic Syrup was the
original product with the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills added later. Listed
