Excerpt from Fouse Brothers and Co; 'S Almanac, 1874

'l'wenty years ago. After receiving a collegiate Education, I applied myself to the study of Medicine in the City of Philadelphia, and there obtained the degree of Doctor of Medicine, at the University of Penn sylvania, and have now over sixteen years experience in acdiversified practice, affording me ample Opportunities of acquiring knowledge of diseases and the remedies best calculated to remove them. While thus engaged I compounded a series of preparations, so classified as to meet the respective ailments of mankind and used the same in my private practice. Their merited success caused them to become very popular in the vicinity in which I practiced medicine, so much so that I became annoyed at the frequent calls for my preparations, inas much as I did not have-the facilities nor the time to manufacture in large quantities. Some years ago, the present proprietors, fouse bros. Co., became familiar with the success and reputation of my valuable Medicines, and were therefore induced to engage in the manufacturing and selling of the same which was done the first year under my own personal sn pervision, giving the present proprie'tors ample Opportunity to become familiar with the manipulation and compounding of the Medi cines. The public can rest assured that the unprecedented success of these Medicines in removing disease, will cause them to spread over this vast universe like the rays of the sun, and many will bless the day they were first brought to their notice. While we are having improvements in the Mechanical and Agricultural Arts, it is but reasonable to expect that we can improve the Medical Science, and this recent discovery in the domain 01 Chemistry has completely revolutionized the efliciency of Patent and Pr0pn'etary Medicines. This assertion is sustained by the voice-of the people where the Medicines are known, and the day is not far distant when they will have a national reputation for merit and vir tue. Yours, Medically.
