We analyzed the notified documents, called BAIYAKU- UKEURI-NEGAI, for selling the patent medicine in Meiji era, and got the information of names and places of production of patent medicine.
Then we noticed Ginseng, a famous traditional remedy in Japan, and investigated the relations between the production of Ginseng and patent medicine. As the result of this case study, there were not directional relations between the folk remedy and the production of patent medicine in Japan.
