This page shows the 'Summers' ointment pot originating from London
James Richard Summers was recorded in the London directory in 1851 as trading from the Curtian Road, London address. He was a chemist and produced the Summers Ointment which apparently was a speedy and effectual cure for Bad Legs, Scurvy, Chaps, Burns, Scalds & all kinds of sores!
