Excerpt from Wakefield's Western Farmers' Almanac: For 1862 Wakefield's Family Medicines are prepared entirely from vegetable remedies, and no pains are spared in selecting the best materials and in making every article reliable. These medicines sell most extensively around home, where their reliable character is best understood. The several preparations are deemed sufficient in family use, for all ordinary eases of disease; and persons using them with judgement, according to directions, will find that they will seldom need the aid of a physician. Those persons succeed best who keep the medicine on hand, and use it before disease is very thoroughly seated. Each article is accompanied with necessary directions, and none of them will injure from the effect of age, heat, or frost. The Fever Specific Has become most popular because it so speedily arrests these violent and often alarming attacks on Bilious Fever, Ague and Fever, Chills and Fever, and all bilious attacks so prevalent in these Western States. Used in connection with the Cathartic Pills, it does its work thoroughly and speedily, and a relapse does not often occur. It may be taken with safety when the fever is on, and it will break up a continued fever nearly or quite as soon as it will the chills. It is entirely vegetable in its composition, and never known to be injurious to the animal organism. It has been before the public fourteen years, and its effects have proved to be satisfactory beyond a question. The Proprietor, Is daily receiving letters from his agents, and others in different parts of the Country, in which he often finds their voluntary comments on the success of his family medicines among them. He has taken the liberty of publishing in this Almanac, some abstracts from such comments; sometimes venturing to give the name of the person who wrote, sometimes not. He hopes his friends will take no exceptions to his publishing abstracts from their private letters, believing it will result in public good.
