Notes - From Hobby Horse Rider, edited by Warren Taylor Kingsbury:
D. Kintner of Columbia is enjoying an interesting phase of bottle collecting. I was surprised to learn it is possible to find bottles filled with medicines with original labels which interested people three score years and ten ago. He says that in six months he has been able to collect about 400 of them. Many of them contained in the light cardboard boxes in which they were packed with a brochure of testimonials around the bottle.
One of them of local interest was "Grandmother Schermer's Health Restorer" manufactured by the Eureka Medicine County, of Bunceton, Mo. Testimonials about its great benefits were dated 1901, 1902, and 1903.
Grandma Schermer, a native of Germany, came to Speed Mo., to live in 1867. She brought with her a home remedy which she used for family ailments. Finally there were so many requests for it, she and her son, C. J. Walje, decided to form a company to manufacture it commerically in Bunceton.
It was purely herbal, made wholly from leaves, bark, roots, flowers, and seeds. It was claimed to "prepare the body for resistance to disease, purify the blood, promote digestion, regulate the bowels, act upon the kidneys, induce healthy respiration, quiet the nerve and induce sound restful sleep.
In Bunceton Rev. B. Marson, Pastor of the C.P. church used it and praised it for "doing what it claimed to do." Harvey B. Moore was completely cured of indigestion by take it. W. E. Coleman claimed it did more good than anything he had ever taken for "indigestion and that tired feeling." Mrs. W. F. Howard had tried many remedies but five bottles of the Health Restorer "almost completely cured her." Mrs. Wm. Lusk took it for two months and it did more good than all other medicines combined which she had ever tried.
Mrs. Margaret E. Stegner of Speed had been afflicted with catarrh of the stomach for over 15 years, the doctors had declared it chronic. She had tried five or six doctors and patent medicines which had cost her several hundred dollars resulting in little relief. Five bottles of Grandma Schermer's Health Restorer had done her more good than everthing else put together. And John J. Blank was sick of indigestion and had a tired feeling until he feared he would take down with fever but after taking one bottle he was entirely relieved.
P. H. Kirby of Bunceton wanted it known that he had chronic malaria, a liver trouble and impure blood about 15 years, even a trip to Eldorado Springs did not keep him from feeling weak and worn out all the time. After using two bottles, he felt as though he had never been sick.
Wm. D. Woods of Tipton after suffering 18 years with malaria and impure blood and "trying several noted doctors," was persuaded to try GSHR and claimed he would not take $500 for the benfit he derived from it.
Miss Jessie Rudolph of Boonville found it very benefical for stomach trouble which had bothered her for three years.
Herman Kramer of Boonville had suffered indigestion for 10 years, more or less severe, had employed the best medical aid in the city but obtained only temporary relief through dieting. As soon as he begain eating again he would bloat up and have cramping pains. He reduced in flesh to 128 pounds. After taking four bottles of Grandma Schermer's medicine, the bloating and cramping disappeared and he weighed 166 pounds.
J. H. Haller wanted the world to know that for 7 or 8 years he got no relief from doctors, but four bottles of this wonder medicine had cured him entirely.
Mrs. M. J. Goode of Syracuse suffered for three months with a disease the doctors diagnosed differently. One said she was in the last stage of consumption, another that she had catarrh of the stomach and enlargement of the liver. Many remedies were tried without relief. Sh was almost dead when Grandma's Health Restorer saved her from an early grave. She took only four bottles before she began to feel like a new woman and her friends told her she did not look like the same person.
