A reminder about Nantwich Museum’s talk tomorrow, Wednesday at 7pm:

'Made in the Old Medicine House: a century of patent medicine manufacture in an unlikely setting'.

This talk will be on Zoom.
The talk by Valerie White of the Blackden Trust, will explore the kinds of medicines available to ordinary people who could not afford those prescribed by qualified practitioners. The family firm established by Samuel Johnson sold its products all over the country (and beyond) from the late 19th century until the 1960s from its “Factory” in Wrinehill. The business archive, now held by The Blackden Trust and examined by the speaker, throws light on an era when most people would try a home remedy first, only calling the nurse, doctor or pharmacist when all else had failed.

Tickets are £5 and are available from the Museum's website.
