Alvah Littlefield began in the proprietary medicine field by buying rights to Atwood’s Quinine Tonic Bitters from Moses Atwood, then Smolander’s Compound Fluid Extract of Buchu, and Constitutional Catarrh Remedy. One of his major distributors was Demas Barnes, and in 1869 the Littlefield account was taken over by John Henry. From 1862 until 1870 general issue proprietary stamps must have been used by Littlefield, but none have been identified. His private die stamps where issued from February 1870 to March 1881.
