This is an original antique catalog circular of patent medicines issued by The Great Eastern Company of St. Louis, Missouri. This is a booklet format of eight pages measuring a bit under 4” x 6” with the cover title THE GREAT EASTERN CO.S’ FAMILY MEDICINES.   This booklet lists about 30 different patents medicines sold by the company with descriptive information for each.  Patent medicines listed include Magic Stomach Drops, Worm Candy, Blood Purifying Kidney and Liver Tea, Digestive Tonic Elixir and Tissue Builder and more.   Included with the patent medicines are a couple non-medical products like furniture polish and washing powders.  

This booklet isn’t dated but is an original antique which I think dates to the late 1890s or early 1900s.  Overall condition is very good for this antique original.  Email any questions.  Thanks for looking.
