Abstract

Glass bottles embossed BY THE/KINGS PATENT/ ESSENCE OF/PEPPERMINT have been found on many archaeological sites in North America, including military, fur trade, native, and domestic/commercial sites. Essence of Peppermint was patented in 1762 by John Juniper and became one of several 18th century English patent medicines to continue in production into the 20th century. The history of its production, marketing and distribution, and use is explored, using documentary sources and archaeological material. An attempt is made to identify the type of persons or organizations using the medicine.
