DR. EASTERLY, MANUFACTURER AND DEALER IN POPULAR FAMILY MEDICINES,

South-east corner of Third and Chestnut sts., St. Louis, Mo. A work upon St. Louis and its progress would be incomplete were it to omit the establishment of Dr. Easterly, so intimately is he connected with the growth of our city. Commencing business in St. Louis on a small scale, when our city was yet small, he has grown with the growth of the city, until he now stands forth as a specimen of what extensive business qualifications and strict integrity in all relations of life can accomplish. Possessing an excellent medical education, Dr. Easterly thought it his duty to give the suffering masses the benefit of his medical experience. In 1844 the Dr. commenced the manufacture of a compound designed to remove from the body all mercurial and syphilitic taints. He gave this remedy the name of " Dr. Easterly's Iodine and Sarsaparilla," and so effectual has it been found that the regular profession not unfrequently prescribe it. The ravages of the Fever and Ague being generally prevalent throughout the West, the Dr. next prepared a compound for its cure, which he called " Dr. Easterly's Fever and Ague Killer," and has the proud satisfaction of knowing that thousands have been relieved, and that it has failed in no case where the directions were followed. The prevalence of diseases among females, arising from difficult and painful menstruation, caused the Dr. to issue " Dr. Hooper's Female Cordial." Here again the most signal success crowned his efforts. Diseases which had baffled the skill of physicians yielded readily to the influence of a single bottle. The next triumph of our friend was his preparation known as " Dr. Baker's Specific," a medicine which acquired a deservedly popular and widespread reputation for the cure of seminal weakness and all diseases resulting from self-abuse in early age. Besides these preparations, which are invaluable as remedies for the specific diseases for which they are recommended, the Dr. has given the world the benefit of his knowledge by the production of Dr. Easterly's Pain Killer, Worsdell's Vegetable Pills, Dr. Easterly's Vermifuge, Dr. Easterly's Diarrhoea Syrup, Dr. Cook's Magic Hair Oil, Dr. Carter's Cough Balsam, Dr. Hunter's German Bitters, Dr. Sander's Three Minute Salve, Dr. Easterly's American Oil Liniment, Dr. Allen's Rheumatic Balm, and Gridley's Salt-Rheum and Tetter Ointment. Dr. Easterly also keeps on hand an assortment of all the popular medicines of the day, which he is offering to dealers on astonishingly moderate terms, at his Medical Depot, south-east corner of Third and Chestnut streets. We would further state that Dr. Easterly's Medicines are now standard remedies, universally approved, selling rapidly, and can be found in nearly every drug and apothecary store in the Western and Southern States.

IP OP

Charles Ellis (from The First Century of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy)

Charles Ellis, a younger brother of Dr. Benjamin Ellis, the second professor of materia medica and pharmacy in the College, was its fourth president. He was born on January 31, 1800, like his brother, at Muncy, Pa., one of several sons of William Ellis, a Welsh Quaker landholder who settled there, and Mercy Ellis, widely known in the ministry of the Society of Friends. He was taught carefully at home and then proceeded to a school in New York. In 1817 he came to Philadelphia and was apprenticed to Elizabeth Marshall, the talented daughter of Charles Marshall, the first president of the College, who, at that time had the renowned Marshall drug store, then on Chestnut Street above Second Street.

In 1825, Charles Ellis and Isaac P. Morris, another apprentice, formed a co-partnership, purchased the business and continued it as Ellis and Morris. In 1830 the firm was dissolved, Mr. Morris withdrawing and Mr. Ellis continuing the business. In 1832 William Ellis, a nephew, became associated in the business, the firm name being Charles Ellis and Co. The firm rapidly developed a large wholesale and manufacturing business, first establishing a laboratory in Vidall Court, to the east of the main store building, and later, a building was erected at Sixth and Morris Streets for laboratory purposes, and the drug business was removed to more commodious quarters at 724 Market Street. In 1863, there was a division of the firm, William Ellis continuing the business at 724 Market Street, and the reorganized firm of Charles Ellis, Son and Co., opened a store at the northeast corner of Seventh and Market Streets, retaining the laboratory at Sixth and Morris Streets. Subsequently, Charles Ellis erected for the company (and its laboratory) a building at the southwest corner of Tenth and Market Streets, which was occupied until the company ceased business in 1875, after having had a signally honorable life of 146 years, first in the hands of Christopher Marshall who founded it in 1729, and then his descendants and successors.
