About This Item
[Morristown, New York: Judson Pill Co.], printed by Cosack & Co, of Buffalo & Chicago, no date, ca 1881 (endorsements so dated). 24mo, 32 pages. Original pictorial sewn paper wraps, the upper cover in lithographed color.
Slightly soiled & tanned, small rubber stamp of distributing agent J. B. Nies of Howard in Centre County, Pennsylvania at the rear wrap, otherwise Near Fine.
The Judson Pill Company was a dummy company of William Henry Comstock, perhaps best known as the purveyor of "Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills." The formula for Judson's Mountain Herb Pills, which cured every possible complaint, was apparently given to a Dr. Cunard by an Aztec Chief as a gift following the doctor's life-saving treatment of the Chief's daughter. Dr. Cunard, and Dr. Morse, though celebrated and fabulously wealthy, were apparently never actually seen by the public. Not found in OCLC as of 8/13/2020.
