I need to verify an Arthritis Remedy from Drs. Chas. & Will Mayo,
founders of the Mayo Clinic. It involves dried figs, raisins, olive
oil, glycerine, powdered senna, powdered charcoal and slippery elm.
You make little black balls and eat two a day to start. This would
probably be from the 1950s. Would like to verify that it actually came
from the Mayo brothers of the Mayo clinic

Where did you get the list of ingredients, as i think that some of
them may be red herrings. I may have a lead, but it depends on how
certain you are of the ingredients.
