18822344139London: Jas. I Fellows 1882. Soft Cover. Very Good. Minor loss to spine base cover edges rubbed. 1882 Soft Cover. 64 pp. Fellows was a druggist in Saint John. This treatise is to explain briefly the nature and effects of the Hypophosphite salts as combined in the Syrup known as Fellows' Hypophosphites and their special application in this form to those cases of disease which do not yield so readily to ordinary treatment. "James along with his father were listed as drug merchants in St John in 1850. He worked in his chemist's shop at 56 Germain Street in St John . Together they established "Fellows & Company" producing household remedies such as Fellows' Worm Lozenges Fellows' Speedy Relief Fellows' Dyspepsia Bitters Fellows' Golden Ointment Fellows' Leemings' Essence and Fellows' Balsam Liverwort & Colts Foot. It was here that James developed his formula for the well known " Fellows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites". Patented and internationally recognized as an effective remedy it is listed in many medical books of the period as "an excellent recuperative tonic". An advertisement found in International Clinics Quarterly Vol 3 dated 1905 Fellows Syrup was used " in the treatment of anemia neurasthenia bronchitis influenza pulmonary tuberculosis and wasting diseases of childhood and during convalescence from exhausting diseases." In the ad there is a reference to the ingredient Strychnine which is an exceptionally bitter tasting and extremely powerful poison. It acts on the central nervous system causing powerful convulsions. It was used in some medications in the late 1800's. In an article in the Canadian Illustrated News dated December 16 1871 it mentions that James himself had been a victim of "secondary stage" pulmonary consumption and use of his own preparation had cured him. The St John City Directory of 1871 lists James' home as Howe's Lake . Following the death of his father James moved to London England where he lived with his family. From there through a judicious system of advertising and an energetic method of doing business he established a most flourishing and lucrative business in the sales of his Syrup of Hypophosphites. He returned to St John on several occasions renewing old acquaintances. But his failing health made him an invalid and he died in 1889. The St John Glode records him as a man of fine presence affable and courteous and of a most friendly disposition. For a considerable period he acted as the General Agent for New Brunswick in Great Britain . Note; that Trow's 1895 New York City Directory still listed James I. Fellows patent medicines with offices 48 Vesey and his home as England. Jas. I Fellows paperback
