Quack Medicine

Possibly of interest to anyone researching Barrington... The electoral registers for Holborn (London) Polling District No. 4 (c.1900) list Amy as the owner of 4 Featherstone Buildings. This was the correspondence address used by a "Mrs. Barrington" who advertised quack medicines in UK newspapers between 1894 and 1912 — initially "The Great Indian Female Medicine" and then a powder cure for drunkenness (which she claimed she had used to cure her own husband's alcoholism). She appears to have used different initials for different newspapers and/or advertising campaigns, e.g. "Mrs. E.A. Barrington" and "Mrs. G.S.A. Barrington".
