Advertisement for Homocea, 1895. 'HOMOCEA may be considered one of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century...an invaluable cure for Rheumatism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, Chilblains, Toothache, Earache, Eczema, Sores, Cuts, Bruises, Wounds, Inflammation, Stiffness, Sprains, and Strains..."Dear Sir, I was persuaded to use Homocea for Chilblains, to which I am a martyr...after two applications the chilblains disappeared, though this severe weather is still with us as I write. Yours truly, "ETHEL COMYNS."..."As a pharmacist of fifty years' standing, allow me to state that I consider your Homocea the finest preparation for the purposes you recommend it for extant. I have passed forty years of my life in the service of four of the largest infirmaries of England...and no prescription I have hitherto dispensed has been so quick in its action..."T. G. FORSHAW...Pain & Torture ARE PRODUCED BY Chillblains. HOMOCEA Touches the Spot, THEREFORE Pain & Torture DISAPPEAR...The great African Explorer, HENRY M. STANLEY, writes re Inflammation: "Homocea was found to be the most soothing and efficacious unguent that I could possibly have for my fractured limb...It is as soft as oil, and instantly mollifying in the case of severe inflammation".' ...From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
