Andrew G. Weeks and Warren Bailey Potter were both retail and wholesale druggists in Boston. In the late 1850’s they were proprietors of patent medicines such as Mrs. M.N. Gardner’s Indian Balsam of Liverwort & Horehound, as well as agents for Ayer, Fetridge, Kidder, Osgood and Schenck, among others. By the 1860’s their own products included Perry’s Moth and Freckle Lotion for Chloasma, Collins’ Voltaic-Electric Porous Plasters and Sanford’s Radical Cure (for catarrh.) In 1878 they began to manufacture and sell Cuticura.
