Description – Medicine Wagon box and 4 detached wheels. Provenance – Owned by Dr. James Ferguson (1863-1920), Medical Doctor and Coroner of Cumberland, Ontario. Driven by Mr. John (J.D.) Ferguson, the younger son of Dr. James Ferguson during the late 19th century (from temporary deposit form). ... This enclosed wagon was used by Mr. John D. Ferguson ca. 1890-1910 to sell Stroud’s Tea, Spices, Cordials and his father’s (Dr. James Ferguson) patent medicines from Thurso and Buckingham to L’Orignal and Hawkesbury. During the winter, the wheels were removed and sleigh runners installed.
