Thompson and Capper were homeopathic chemists who, as well as making their own medicines, published books and pamphlets on homeopathy. The company is still going strong today – based in Runcorn, they are a specialist manufacturer of all kinds of tablets, from medicines to kettle descalers, and there is more information about their history on their website.

THOMPSON & CAPPER’S
CORN AND WART REMOVER.
By a few applications CORNS and WARTS
are entirely Cured and Removed.
This supplies a long-felt want, as, unlike other so-called
solvents, it is not a caustic or acid, and therefore gives no
pain whatever in application, and may be used to the most
tender skin with only the best results.
Sold in bottles, 1s. 1½d. post free.
