Description:

Hulbert H. Warner & Co., Rochester, New York. Bitters company. Hulbert Harrington Warner was born in 1841 in New York. Warner was initially a successful sales agent for fireproof safes for Mosler, Bahmann & Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio. As the story goes, Warner became gravely ill from Bright’s Disease and was spared thanks to a concoction developed by Dr. Charles Craig of Rochester, New York. Warner was so grateful for his recovery that he bought Craig’s Kidney Cure rights and entered the patent medicine business. A pictorial “Warner Safe” would eventually become his trademark representing an astounding variety of patent medicines in the second half of the 19th century. Warner medicines would be sold around the world. In March of 1879, Dr. Craig and Warner co-produced “The Original Dr. Craig’s Kidney Cure Rochester, NY,” which was embossed “Dr. Craig” but bore the label that stated it was put out by Hulbert Harrington Warner. By the middle of 1879 Warner released several products— Warner’s Safe Kidney & Liver Cure, Safe Nervine, Safe Bitters, Safe Tonic, Safe Pills, and his Diabetes Cure. In the ensuing years, he combined the Bitters and Tonic into a Safe Tonic Bitters and in 1883 replaced the Tonic Bitters line with Tippecanoe using the iconic trademark shape and using a canoe as a pictorial brand mark. In 1887, Warner created a new line of products called the “Log Cabin Remedies,” which included a Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, Extract, Hops & Buchu, Cough & Consumption, Scalpine/Hair Tonic, Rose Cream, Plasters and Liver Pills.
