Horsford's Acid Phosphate, Dyspepsia
Horsford's Acid Phosphate For Mental & Physical Dyspepsia & C "The Little Dancer. It makes a delicious drink with water and sugar only." Visual motif: Showing an old man seated in a chair, playing an accordion while a little girl dances. Eben Norton Horsford (July 27, 1818 - January 1, 1893) was an American scientist. He taught chemistry and conducted research at the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard for 16 years, and published articles in major scientific publications on such topics as phosphates, condensed milk, fermentation, and emergency rations. He is best remembered today for reformulating baking powder. Previously, baking powder had contained baking soda and cream of tartar. He replaced the cream of tartar with the more reliable calcium biphosphate (also known as calcium acid phosphate and many other names). His development of baking powder was designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 2006. Patent medicines are compounds promoted and sold as medical cures that do not work as promoted. "Patent medicine" is a misnomer since in most cases, although products might be trademarked, they are not patented. The promotion of patent medicines was one of the first major products highlighted by the advertising industry, and many advertising and sales techniques were pioneered by patent medicine promoters.
