Antique F. Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger Glass Bottle, ca. 1800s-1900s, Aqua in color, embossed lettering, measures 5.75''L x 2 3/8''W x 1.25''W, FYI: ''The original manufacturer of F. Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger was Frederick Brown, whose business, for most of its history, was located in Philadelphia, at the northeast corner of Fifth and Chestnut Streets. Over the course of almost 100 years it was run by three generations of the Brown family. It all started when Frederick Brown opened what he called a Drug and Chemical Store sometime in 1822. Brown began making his Essence of Jamaica Ginger in 1828. It wasn't until 1849 that advertisements for it began to appear in the newspapers. The first newspaper advertisement that I can find for Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger was dated June 2, 1849. Without a doubt though, their signature product and largest revenue producer was Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger. Sold as a curative for the stomach and bowels, their advertisements typically touted it as the 'Standard Family Medicine.' Like many patent medicines of the time, Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger contained a high percentage of alcohol. Nonetheless, their label provided dosage recommendations for children as young as two years old. Their June 2, 1849 advertisement brazenly called Brown's Jamaica Ginger 'a great agent in the cause of temperance,' and even marketed it to 'those who wish to reform.' It appears that it was their alcohol content that ultimately lead to the liquidation of the business. The company's demise was reported in the March, 1920 edition of the 'Meyer Druggist' in a column called 'Trade Notes.' The Passing of Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger: With the coming of national legislation affecting alcoholic medicinal preparations , the Frederick Brown Company, of Philadelphia, has decided to terminate a prosperous business which is now in its ninety-ninth year.''
