Broadside. Condizione: Fine. First Edition (?). One broadside, measuring about 9.75" x 13". One or two trivial nicks to the extremities, but a fine example, never folded. Undated, but based on the paper and Hartshorn's printed address, likely dating from the last decade of the 19th century. Promotes a typical snake oil cure-all, complete with testimonials from all over New England. Not vanishingly rare, but we note fewer than half a dozen copies in library holdings, mostly at The Library Co. of Philadelphia and University of Rochester.
