At one pointhe became certified with the State Pharmaceutical board and manufactured "remedies". Iaegers Lightening Linament, Cough Pectoral and Family Medicine were brands that were his. My grandmother Irene (Kline) Iaeger was always on the watch for a Iaeger Lightening Linament bottle as she went to flea markets and neverfound one. The photo of the scale pictures with Samuels T`s page was givento my sister Gail by my grandmother years back. It is said that Samuel used that scale to measure his ingredients.
