G. T. Dennis Botanic Remedies

G. T. Dennis, manufacturer of the Dennis Botanic Remedies, came to what is now Eldred in 1822 with his parents; in later years traveled extensively as far west as Illinois, and in 1873 established the "Great American Panacea," a medicine which was received with much favor. In later years he has introduced a number of medicines and extracts, all of which are accorded an excellent reputation by his neighbors of McKean county. Also located in Eldred was Dr. Bates' Medicine Company which was formed in 1886, with Dr. Morgan and A. D. Gould members. Dr. Bates Electro-Magnetic Cure was patented and registered in 1887. The medicines were prepared in Eldred and advertised by a regular traveling company.	JFG Archive Collection
