PISOS CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
If you have done any digging you have probably found a PISO's.
Ezra T. Hazeltine, arrived in the Pennsylvania town of Warren, on the Allegheny River, in 1860. He began selling homemade medications and in 1864. Piso's cure was created by Dr. Macajah C. Talbott, a graduate of the Buffalo Medical School.
Ezra T. Hazeltine named the product and the company, Hazeltine & Company. Myron Waters was a wealthy businessman who invested in the company with no intentions other than making money. IN 1869, Hazeltine founded the Piso Company to market his mixture nationally. They did make money. Although it was targeted by the Pure Food and Drug act in 1907, the product was so popular it continued to survive to the 1940s.
