? v. : ill. ; 17 cm.The son of a Pittsburgh paint manufacturer, Benjamin A. Fahnestock (d. 1868) was in business from the 1830s as a manufacturer of white lead and of patent medicines. The earliest and best known among the latter was B.A. Fahnestock's Vermifuge, a preparation made of castor oil, oils of worm-seed, turpentine and tincture of myrrh. Members of the firm included Aurelius B. Hull and Fahnestock's son George W. When Fahnestock died in 1868, the firm split into Fahnestock, Haslett & Schwartz, manufacturers of white lead; and Schwartz & Haslett, drug manufacturers. From the late 1850s, patent medicines were also manufactured in Pittsburgh by B.L. Fahnestock & Co. The relation of B.A. and B.L. Fahnestock remains uncertain. The Fahnestock firm apparently did little advertising in comparison with other patent medicine manufacturers. Its Free almanac, however, was issued over a dozen or more years from 1848. The Atwater Collection includes the following issues: [No. 2] (1849), no. 4 (1851), no. 5 (1852), no. 7 (1854)-no. 9 (1856), no. 11 (1858)-no. 13 (1860).
