Stellar advertising cdv for Pritchard’s Teething & Fever Powders. We assume this is J. Pritchard, a chemist based in Stretford, Manchester, who is posed with his advertisement. As with most of these powders or miracle cures, Pritchard’s powder contained calomel or Mercurous Chloride which at times lead to mercury poisoning and occasionally death. The image is in very good plus condition with strong tones and contrast. There are some small spots as seen. By Henry Green, Manchester.
