Ladies, do you suffer from the vapors, tired blood, or corset fatigue? Gentlemen, are you burdened by masculine exhaustion, irritability, or excessive hair of the ears and nose? Then give a listen to what these Goshert nostrums can do for you!
Goshert Elixir alleviates the symptoms of gout, dropsy, consumption, and the epizootic. Our Goshert medical appliances correct flat feet, trick knees, bow legs, corns, bunions, hernias, and floating kidney. Our Little Liver Pills contain actual tiny livers, our antiseptic eats the germs but spares the flesh, and our linament is good for man or beast (not for internal use).
And remember, Goshert's Laudanum Gin is a medical tonic, not an alcoholic beverage, perfectly legal under all circumstances and in all jurisdictions. So stop the bleeding, clear the airway, and feel better fast with Goshert!
