A neat Civil War vintage advertising broadside for Dr. WHITNEYS ELIXIR of LIFE cure for, DIARRHEA, DYSENTERY and other bowel complaints. In a nice size for easy display (8 X 5 7/8) and in fine original condition after decades of storage, this boldly printed (one side only for posting) broadside will set well in any period grouping. Put up and sold by Boston apothecary Thomas Hollis, (see: 1863 Boston Business Directory) this medical advertising broadside is an especially poignant reminder of the wide concern of thousands of country boys who, when gathered together in military camps, found they were particularly susceptible to frequently deadly dysentery and other maladies of the bowel as were to be cured by this elixir.
