With some water stains, light toning, but overall better than expected condition. More advertising for Ayer's various patent medicines than almanac, the Ayer company was very successful, largely because of these "informational" printings. His "signature" medicine was Cherry Pectoral (cough syrup), first released in 1843. He later added Catharic Pills (1854), Sarsaparilla (1859), Hair Vigor (1864), and more. After J.C.'s death in 1873, the company continued under various family members until at least 1939, nearly a century after J.C. purchased his apothecary in 1841. Provenance: The Ed Steers Lincolniana & Civil War Collection
