Advertisement for 'Dr Jenner's Kidney and Liver Cure'

This highly alliterative leaflet for Alfred Parker's Dr Jenner's Kidney and Liver Cure, states that 'simple backache' was a sign 'your kidneys are inactive, diseased, or inflamed, your liver may be similarly situated' and that 'paralysis and palsy' may well result. It makes the (probably groundless) claim that all this could be cured by a bottle of Dr Jenner's Kidney and Liver Cure. It reveals a popular belief of the time that some diseases were due to irregularities in the liver, kidneys or impurity of the blood.
Pictured in dark blue on (what was once) white paper is a 'pathetic' and 'perplexed' gentleman with his walking stick in his right hand and his left hand on the pain in the small of his back. Alfred Parker, a member of the Pharmaceutical Society, was a dispensing and manufacturing chemist who was based at Uttoxeter in Staffordshire and advertised his range of medicines extensively (presumably on a fairly local basis), all of which were made on the premises under his own personal supervision. He offered additional services as optician, dentist, and practical photographic chemist.
