"The following note was written by Shirley Weiher (dau of Rilla MayWhi tehall Weiher) and given to me in July of 2000:
"....Samuel Whitehall was also a doctor. Freezone and Anacine were hisp roducts made by him. His picture and advertising use to be in"Comfort M agazine" and Peoples Home Journal."
I have an original of a 1907 advertisement from "Munsy's Magazine"
I have an original box of "Dr. Whitehall's Rheumatic Remedy, forRheuma tism, Gout. Special formula of S. Whitehall, M.D. The WhitehallMegrimi ne, Co. South Ben, Indiana, U.S.A. 50 cents a box."
It came with 2 flyers, one for the Rheumatic Remedy and the other forD r. Whitehall's Me-Grim-ine for Headache and Neuralgia.
