Lynas\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Dearborn County, Indiana, on February 14, 1835, and came to Logansport in 1861. By 1866 he was making his own \"family remedies,\" Catarrh Remedy, Hoosier Cough Syrup, Ready Relief, Rheumatic Liniment, White Mountain Salve, Egyptian Salve and Liver Pills, and they sold so well he was soon shipping them all over the country. He set up a laboratory on Fourth Street in 1874, and the line grew to flavoring extracts, soaps, lotions and perfumes like the ones on this box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen he died in 1901 his son \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge H. Lynas\u003c\/strong\u003e took over, and the firm was incorporated as Dr. J. B. Lynas \u0026amp; Son. Around 1910 the company moved into a big building on East Market Street in Logansport, and it sold the way Watkins and Rawleigh did, through agents going door to door with the products all over the country. George ran it until his death in 1926, the business was sold in 1938, and the company was finally dissolved in 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌹 Why \"Langtry\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn those years no name said beauty like \u003cstrong\u003eLangtry\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eLillie Langtry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \"the Jersey Lily,\" born on the island of Jersey in 1853, was the most talked-about beauty of her day and a stage star who toured America coast to coast from 1882.
