Advertisement for Elliman's Universal Embrocation, 1890. 'BROKEN KNEES. A CASE FOR ELLIMAN'S...Aches and pains...for Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sprains, Cuts, Bruises, Sore Throat, Chest Colds, Stiffness...HUMAN USE...From a Justice of the Peace. "February 21, 1887. "Gentlemen - During the past two or three months I have been suffering greatly from 'Lumbago,' and I began to think that I should become permanently crippled, as, after trying various remedies, I obtained no relief. About a fortnight ago a friend advised me to try your 'Embrocation,' and its effect has been magical, even in so short a time, and my first bottle is not half empty. You are at liberty to show this letter to anyone, and to publish the letter if you think fit, only reserving my name and address for this purpose, but you may refer anyone to me who is troubled (as I have been) with Lumbago. I shall in future keep a good stock of the 'Embrocation' on hand for the use of my friends. Yours faithfully, "A J.P."' From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
