FAITH WITCOMB BITTERS : BOSTON, MASS.

Faith Whitcomb was the proprietor of the Faith Whitcomb Medicine Company in Boston Mass. She was advertising her Shaker Liniment and Balsam Bitters in the History of Shakers in 1881. There is a illustration showing Faith Whitcomb in a Shaker custume in the Herb Garden at Harvard. Most likely she was a Shaker herself.

Below are some photos of a Faith Whitcomb Bitters bottle.
