John Henry Pinkard

John Henry Pinkard (1863-1866 - January 8, 1934) was an American merchant, banker, and land developer with noted interests in herbal medicine, through which he gained a reputation as a clairvoyant "yarb doctor." Among his patent medicines were Pinkard's Hydrastic Compound, Pinkard's Great Liniment, and Pinkard's Sanguinaria Compound, the latter being the subject to a seizure by the United States government and subsequent twenty-five dollar fine in 1932.
