Advertisement for Koptica, the famous Persian Herbal Specific, 1890. '...RHEUMATISM, NEURALGIA, LUMBAGO, SCIATICA, GOUT AND ALL KINDRED DISEASES Are essentially INTERNAL complaints arising from the presence in the blood of Uric Acid...hence the greater prevalence of these diseases at seasons and in localities where dampness and cold predominate. Such...is the whole secret of the complaints enumerated, to which may he added RHEUMATIC GOUT, FACEACHE, CRAMP, TIC-DOLOREUX, BLOTCHES ON THE SKIN, SCURVY SORES, SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS, and all DISEASES OF THE BLOOD...a remedy for the complaints specified to be thoroughly efficacious MUST be an INTERNAL Remedy, acting directly on the CAUSE. Such a Remedy is KOPTICA, the famous Persian Herbal Specific, guaranteed FREE from Strychnine, Arsenic, Colchicum, Belladonna, Henbane, Aconite, and all other injurious drugs...THESE ARE THE SORT OF LETTERS WE RECEIVE DAILY. "Your remedy KOPTICA has proved a blessing to me...All other advertised remedies of no avail. Yours respectfully..." EVERY BOTTLE SOLD SECURES A TESTIMONIAL. THEY ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO PUBLISH HERE...KOPTICA must not be confounded with the many bogus nostrums which are a cruel imposition upon the public, but that it is a genuine remedy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
