Recipie Nice work. Do you think that anyone will try to use the recipie? Posted by Ruby

Recipie/Ingredients I hope not. It's not a good idea. Piso's Cure was poisionous and caused many deaths, especially in children. One of the main ingredients was chloroform, which can cause death or permanent damage to your liver and kidneys. It can also cause burns if large amounts touch your skin. In tests with rats and mice that ate food or drank water with chloroform developed cancer of the liver and kidneys and had birth defects and defects in the sperm of the males. Some of the other ingredients in Piso's Cure were Cannabis Indica (marijuana), Morphine, Opium and alcohol. The creator of Piso's Cure (formely called Piso's Remedy) wanted people to "feel" that the cure was working. Guess they felt it. At least the ones who lived felt it.   Posted by beverly

Best site available to date Excellent gallery pictures. I like the histories that you attached to each photo. It helps give a sense of what was going on in the world at the time these books were active. Posted by Rand

Need help pricing an almanac Hi Kathleen. The price of the 1883 Piso's almanac is probably about $10.00, although a collector might pay a little more for one in great shape. Posted by beverly

Need help pricing an almanac Kathleen, I just looked at ABAA Antiquarian Book Sellers site and they have a 1883 almanac in bad condition (cover missing and rough edges) for $29.00 (plus $6.50 shipping). Here's a link to that page. http://www.abaa.org/dbp/detail.php? booknr=225454504 Posted by beverly

My Grandfather owned the Company after Mr. Talbott, "Mr. Fisher's grandfather" one of the original founders died in 1918. I have tons more info if interested. Posted by Kathy Fisher Masterson

Piso Company Almanacs Hi Kathy, It's great to meet you. You have at least two completed collections? That's awesome! I just found a 1917, so I now have one completed collection. If you would like to show some of your Piso things on this site, send me some photo's and I will post them. I'd love to show people your dad's match book collection too! bev Posted by beverly

Piso Bottle Hi Reed, Isn't it fun to find those old bottles? The guy that can tell you most about the old Piso bottles is Digger O'Dell. Click on my "links" to connect to his "Ask Digger". If I remember right, some colors of Piso bottles are worth more than others. beverly Posted by bevelry

TRADE, SELL, BRAG If anyone would like to use this guest book as a place to locate/trade/sell or just plain brag about your Piso books, go for it. Just be sure to be nice, or your posts will magically disappear! If this catches on, I will try to make a seperate website just for Piso collectors. beverly Posted by beverly

Local Distributors My 1890 Hazeltine Almanac was sold my J.I. Leas, Windsor Drug Store, Chadron, Nebraska. This information was printed on the back. It would be interesting to know if these almanacs were more popular in one part of the country than another. The 50-cent price tag seems like a LOT of money for those days (even these days -- given the size of the almanac!) Thanks for publishing this information. Posted by Larry Miller

Piso Company Map of the US I have a map of the US that has an ad for Piso's cure for consumption 25 cents on the back of it. My great-great aunt had it and recorded the date of Jan 28, 1908 on the box but I have no idea how old it is. It shows Oklahoma broken into 2 parts as OK and Ind Ter'y. Also, where Saskatchewan is today, it shows Assiniboia. Any idea how old this might be or any history about it? I'm guessing it might have been a "giveaway" with their "cure" but have no idea. Thank you. Jane Posted by Jane Bennie

No Almanacs - Just History I own no almanacs and just have one Piso's bottle but I'm E.T.'s great-grandchild and would have been named E.T. myself (Edward Thomas in my case - Ezra in his)if I hadn't been female. It's interesting that this ephemera still lives on. Thank you! Posted by Rgawn

The things we learn... While visiting a relative recently, I noticed among her collection of "treasures" what appeared to me to be a small medicine bottle. The thing that caught my eye really was not the bottle for I'd seen many like it over the years, what caught my eye was what appeared to be our sir named debossed onto the surface of the bottle. How could I have gotten to the age of fifty-five without ever having heard of the existance of this artifact and what more do I not know of the mysteries of this bottle, I asked my cousin. Though I have vague childhood memories of my parents making reference to relatives that lived, what seemed to me at the time to be, far to the north of where we lived then. I had all but forgotten about those relatives until some years later when, with a friend that was lucky enough to have access to a car, I would go fishing along the Allegheny River in Tionesta,PA. Far to the north wasn't really all that far after all. It had been a long time prior to those fishing trips that I had heard talk of those northern relatives but I remembered enough to wonder if they might live anywhere in the area that I fished. Now, many more years have passed and I haven't thought of the Northern Piso's at all but for a passing glance of memory that flashes forth from some crevasse that holds thoughts that fight to be remembered. Of course my cousin had no clue how I had reached my current age without having heard anything of the Piso Company. Maybe, she guessed, she being a bit older than I, was simply more in tune to the conversations of our elders. More likely is the truth that I was out of tune with just about anyone and more in tune with that "world of my own" that I was accussed of being lost in so often then. Reading this, anyone that knows me will say that I'm too often still there. The fact is, that being there still, I now have a new place and subject to look to in this "world of my own"...The Piso Company. Posted by Paul Piso
