Lot of 2. Trib Company, "Sole Proprietors of the liniment and trade mark Trib." "Trib cures bruises and sprains"; 1) Letterhead dated Aug. 9th, 1904, Carson City, Nevada. Send to Robt. J. Alther in San Francisco about problem with shipment of two wired cases; 2) c.1897 arithmetic card that advertises Virginia City businesses including Trib (offering 2 or 6 ounce bottles for 25 and 50 cents each respectively), as well as druggist B.F. Shaw. 7.5 x 11" on cardstock. Trib-A-Liniment is a Nevada pharmaceutical mystery. It started appearing for sale in Pioche in 1889 with druggist Shier, and was heavily promoted by Carson City druggist Steinmetz. The Trib Co. in Carson did not leave many records, although they did advertise in the newspapers. Likely the product used components from a Nevada or desert plant, but its ingredients were never disclosed. For more background info, please see Volume Two of the Nevada Bottle Book.
