Dr. Hamilton C. Daniels published a booklet for an assortment of ailments, cures he developed in his 50 years of practice. Song lyrics penned by contemporary musician Amy Lowe describe Dr. Daniels’s cures:
Printed by the Clarion 1901 Dr. Hamilton C. Daniels
Fifty years of practice with 50 prescriptions
Remedies, treatments, ingredients, directions, cure concoctions
For ailments well defined, a cure for most spells especially the elderly
A cure for infections, illness of any kind
Herbs, lotions, creams, potions
Powders and gargles, drops and liniments
Ointments, injections, tonics and rubs
Oils and syrups prescribed with love
He came to Illinois in 1832
In 1856 he finished medical school
Sympathetic and honest for 50 years
He practiced medicine, prescribed many, many cures
Should there be a prescription for any complaint
Not found in his booklet Dr. Daniels would say
He’d send by return mail for 25 cents
A cure for any ailment was always his intent
Printed by the Clarion 1901 Dr. Hamilton C. Daniels
Fifty years of practice with 50 prescriptions
