The Home Formulary

 

The Home Formulary was given out to Wyckoff-Willis Drug Co., Drugs and Jewelry, Plainview, Texas customers. What a treasure to acquire this book.

Its cost was $5.00 and for that time in history that was quite expensive!

 

Although the book cost was so expensive, the formulas were from .15 to .50 cents. It is Copyrighted MDCCCC.

 

 

Here are the formulas included...

 

I enjoy learning more about how things were treated in the early days.

For wrinkles: Tannin, Glycerine, Rose Water. Apply with camel's hair brush. If you see signs of wrinkles on your face, begin this treatment at once, for they are difficult to remove after getting set. 

 

Boy, do I know that to be true!

 

The Wyckoff-Willis Drug was located in the Wayland Block.
