With no local supply, a wholesale house sourced the remedy from Ottumwa and shipped it to Indianapolis where Monroe was performing, satisfying his request. The tale ends with the famous label from the Lilly company.

Muscatine Improves Sanitation With Land Fill Plan
Muscatine moves ahead of Burlington in sanitation by banning insanitary garbage containers and using a trench style sanitary landfill. A seven by fifty foot trench is filled and covered with dirt, reducing rats and flies and cutting dumping sites. The city also requires covered cans and weekly collection, with costs described as reasonable by public health officials.
