Dr Chase's Third Last And Complete Receipt Book & Household Physician, or, Practical Knowledge For The People
By A.W. Chase
Published by Malcolm & Grigg: Sydney 1887 Memorial Edition

"Dr. Alvin W. Chase was born in New York State in 1817, and worked for much of his life as a travelling salesman of food and household remedies. Dr. Chase's recipe books and various medications- his nerve food, kidney and liver pills, ointment, and others- sold very well long after Dr. Chase's death in 1885. His final recipe book, Dr. Chase's Last Receipt Book and Household Physician, was posthumously published as "the Memorial Edition." His name and image were used to vigorously advertise his products well into the late 20th century and his medical advice has continued to be passed down through the generations in both Canada and the United States.⁠"
