Norway Historical Society: Brown s Instant Relief | Lewiston Sun Journal

Norway Historical Society photo How are you feeling after the holidays? Tired, depressed, stomach bothering you, bad cough, toothache, going bald? Maybe a dose, or several, of Brown’s Instant Relief would help. Or maybe not. Brown’s Instant Relief was locally produced by the Norway Medicine Company, a joint venture of Dr. George W. Brown and Albert L.F. Pike. Dr. Brown originally prepared the mixture of so-called vegetable agents to externally treat a case of “gastric fever”. Finding the formulation to be successful with that patient, Dr. Brown prescribed his tonic for other complaints. Word spread of the powers of this local remedy and demand sent it into volume production.

Norway Historical Society: Bleeding bowls and spring lancet

  What could these cute little round bottom bowls be? I’m glad you asked and when I tell you, you won’t want to use them as cereal bowls or candy dishes. These are bleeding bowls from the 1800’s. The spring lancet, for “breathing the vein” is from the same period. The process of bleeding as a treatment is believed to pre-date the Egyptian period. Initially it was thought that illness was the result of an imbalance of the humors, not funny humors but fluids. An individual’s health or temperament was believed to be the result of blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. Most issues or imbalances required the removal of amounts of one or more of these humors through bleeding, purging or vomiting. Still with me?
