#1286 - DR DE WITT'S ECLECTIC CURE  W J PARKER & CO  BALTIMORE MD  

      W J Parker & Co    Baltimore, MD.   Circa 1880s

An interesting little cure from Baltimore. There were several different De Witt's cures, all uncommon.  The product was found to contain alcohol, ether, and opium ... that mixture would certainly make it eclectic. http://books.google.com/books?id=8AVEAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA587&lpg=PA587&dq=%22de+witt's+eclectic%22&source=
