Here is an interesting image from the Littlejohn Collection's ephemera collection.
The signs above the door read:
"I can cure all kinds sore throat and no questions asked can handle a case in 80 minutes give me @ trial if your baby is sick rheumatism cured
I can cure breast disease, spinal disease, diphtheria, scarlet fever, membrance, croup, rheumatism, and if you have lost your voice can bring it back again Dr Daniel Hurd No. 207 Arch Street $5 in advance notice temperance"
The photo itself contains no other identifying information -- it is unclear when or where this is. Indeed, we can not even be sure that the man in the left foreground is the proprietor of this purported medical establishment.
