Admin/Biographical History
"A Dutch Indian: Mrs. Dr. Knab, who has a 'laboratory' in Church st., where she prepares an article she calls a Pain Killer, and which she vends on our markets and throughout this and the adjoining counties, appeared in Centre Square, this morning, in the costume of an Indian squaw, taking a position on a stand, from which she harrangued a gaping crowd, on the virtues of her 'medicine,' in broken English. The scene was ludicrous in the extreme, and as each one left the crowd which surrounded her, a broad smile was visible on his or her countenance." The Daily Evening Express, 16 November 1867, p. 2.
