I found 2 bottles in west central Iowa in a trash heap. My research shows the company went out of business in 1873.

I have a bottle of Magola that is probably from the nineteen forties or at least from the nineteen thirties.  My parents sold Peter Fahrney products to the farm people in Mountain View, California. The main product sold was liniment for aches and pains which they ordered by the case load.. Therefore the company had to be in business and at this time period.  Among the ingredients in this product, Magola that was for an upset stomach, was peppermint golden seal, and rhubarb.

We have just found the same bottle under a building as some plumbing work was being done in San Antonio, Texas.

My great-grandfather sold Dr. Peter Fahrney's Therapeutics--our of a horse-drawn wagon--in the 1920s & 30s in Stanberry, Mo.  I still have a nearly full bottle of the yellow liquid, which contains various oils:  Sassafras, Camphor and Chloroform.
