Cring's Household Balm |
||||
Henry Kring came from Pennsylvania to Condit while
his brother and sister went to Findlay, Ohio. Henry changed
his name to Cring from the Scandinavian spelling. He married
Mary Jane Horlocher and had seven children. Henry was a surveyor, a
storekeeper, and the inventor of Cring's Household Balm.
According to the People Book, Henry and his sons traveled
throughout central Ohio selling his balm as well as Cholera Balm,
Saymans Soap, toothache remedy and other medicines.
Below is a small booklet (4.25" wide x 5.5" tall )
used as a promotional tool to introduce the readers in a brief
manner to the uses and virtues of Cring's Household Balm. |
