Buxton's Rheumatic Cure

David Horace Buxton established a company in 1894

in Abbot, Maine to make his Buxton's Rheumatic Cure.

 

He sold his medicine to drug and general stores using

a specially constructed wagon now on display at the

Shelburne Museum.

You won't find the recipe online it is a secret formula.

Not sure if you drink it or rub It on. It is described as a

cureall so you probably drank it.

 

Even today there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis

only products to make you feel better. This may have

had that effect.

Amazing that the wagon has survived. This stuff may have contained some narcotics as well as alcohol. A lot of those vintage "miracle cures" did.
