Peruna claims and patent medicine ads flood 19th century notice
A fragmented ad laden passage touts Peruna as blood purifying and health restoring, praises various tonics like Brown's Iron Bitters and Lydia E Pinkham's Compound, and mentions testimonials. It also references a near hit and run near Elmira, estate salaries, theater payroll woes, and politics and debt notes, reflecting broad advertising and public notices from a 19th century page.
