In 1861 the Reverend Edward A. Wilson began advertising in numerous papers that he had been cured of consumption by a simple remedy, the recipe for which he would send free to anyone needing it. This continued into April of 1864, but only appeared once thereafter in May of 1867. In 1871 the Reverend must have decided to manufacture his cure and market it. The result was expensive, at $3 a bottle. This required a twelve-cent tax stamp, the only medicine to have a private die stamp prepared for it in that denomination.
